Which is exactly the problem, the generations of Americans who actually wanted to and were capable of doing great things is long gone. We have since been trained by sociopaths to believe only in sociopathy, to only look out for our own interests and eat our fellow man if it betters our lot, and that this is righteous and good. We have systematically dismantled their great works.

If we bank on the will of the American people we are surely doomed.



This is nostalgia; for every American in the past that dreamed of great things, there is a Snopes, Salem, McCarthy


FWIW the government and media were full of communists, McCarthy wasn’t wrong, he just had bad tactics.
