Americans are so enslaved, brainwashed, depraved, divided, distracted, degraded, and demoralized now that they scream American pilots who bomb wedding parties should be pardoned, but patriots who post videos of US soldiers murdering civilians should be executed.
How did the US manage to be free for 200 years?
Maybe no one should be surprised that the whole world is a police state now.
If the rich pay off politicians with campaign donations, politicians can make any law, hire soldiers and police, give bailouts to the rich, give crumbs to the 99% in the form of Obamacare, food stamps, and Section 8, and the wealthy can brainwash the population with media propaganda while distracting the people with bread and circuses, movies, music, immorality, and sports.
Obeying the law was easy when just murder and stealing were illegal, but obeying the law is a joke now that everything is illegal and the US is no longer a democracy.
Why obey the law at all when you are legally required to buy insurance, free speech is illegal, protesting is illegal, reporters are arrested, guns are illegal, staying silent is illegal, the NSA unconstitutionally wiretaps you, the government can steal your money, you can be tortured, you can be indefinitely detained without trial, and the government can extrajudicially assassinate you?
There is no reason to stay in the US now. Every country is a police state, but in a foreign country you can say that you don't speak the language or know the law. When everything becomes illegal, the only way to live is to bribe people.
The future looks very dark.
Ideologues are often willfully stupid, on both the right and the left. It serves them. Their selective blindness allows them to avoid thinking seriously about the world, and especially the state of their own souls.
Most of their lives are spent in the expedient serving and comfort of themselves. The good they do, the good things they may think, the public service that they may provide for others is generally inner directed. It is designed to make themselves feel good about themselves, and superior and apart from the masses, whom in their condescension they secretly despise.
Even their negative and disapproving emotions about others are self-serving, designed to elevate their views of themselves and their imagined aloofness and superiority. They are incapable of genuine repentance, because they blind themselves to their sins, and wash them away in their disgust with others whom they imagine are so much worse.
Meanwhile the NSA is still wiretapping your phone, reading your emails, and recording your web history.
