    I know that not all Americans are the same. I know about the mass protests during the Vietnam War. One of the greatest American songs, “Born in the U.S.A.”, is anti-war, anti-American foreign policy.

    But nothing has really changed. It doesn’t really matter who is president. Obama bombed as he pleased, Clinton bombed as he pleased, Nixon bombed as he pleased, JFK bombed as he pleased, Trump bombed as he pleased. For over 60 years, the United States has been the same, nothing has really changed. It’s not “in the name of humanity” or “in the name of American citizens.” It’s all “in the name of capital.”

    The United States is run by capital, and capital has no remorse, no ethics, no respect for human life or the environment.

    How can you fix that? I’m not that smart.
