Yea, yea, there is a whole lotta bullshit out there. The biggest bunch of bullshit is that economy is to function according to some great unifying theory proven false for 50-60 years, that a rising tide lifts all boats. It does nothing of the sort. The flags, the monuments, the statues are all a sign of serious insecurity and what's bullshit is that somehow we are spiritually or emotionally inspired by these. If they inspire, it is further racism, prejudice, faction and yes, even continued violence. AND it isn't just the 'fucking liberals,' it is every fucking buddy. The problems for society, is that [it] feels so insecure that it needs such reminders and such inspiration and all it does is further separate and antagonize people who aren't so inspired, who 'aren't like us' and thus even undeserving of the American largess. The real bullshit is in how quickly we separate each other, create names for groups. Hell, people, real people had to be Nips or Krauts in order to shoot and kill them in war. I didn't kill an actual person, I killed a fucking Kraut. So we are no longer just people, we're liberals or conservatives, alt right or left, fascists or socialists. Example: How many statues do you see of, how many schools, cities and towns are named after Lincoln...in the former confederacy ? None or I am sure some partisan ilk here will go look to find one or maybe...maybe two. And this will be out of 200 cities and 600 schools total US...named for Lincoln.
