I really don't think the issue is this simple.

I think people should break through the surrealism and denial and see that this IS America, and America as well as other nations are probably owned by the same people. The nations are tools for wealthy to use. We are the assets of the nation that are traded for work. The nation is like a slave broker, the middle man between us and the agendas of the truly wealthy. It's not about our freedom and humanity... We are just cattle...

Going back to what America was 20 years ago is like giving them another opportunity to fuck us all over again. The corruption is interwined deep in America's culture and soul as well as outside of the nation. The nations are not the top of the ladder.

Every time people start understanding this truth, they do something to lure you back in. They divide us on purpose to keep us in this loop. They market us lifestyle to consolidate us socially and make us easier to manipulate as a group. All sides will always be used for the same end goal of whatever objective they are seeking to fulfill. Even the "fights" against "them" is just another fuel they benefit from.

I'm starting to understand the only way to live for truth is to not be a part of this at all. Even if it means my life will be short.

The nations are not the top of the ladder, but if you're in the US, all you can see when you get to look up the ladder is Israel's ass.
