    Even that is ceding an important point. Since when is drug running punishable by death? And since when is that executable without trial? And since when do we have the authority to enforce that outside of our territory?

    Imagine Saudi Arabia bombing Americans in boats in the Caribbean and claiming that it’s because they were bringing bourbon to their country. That’s how ridiculous this is.

      It’s all out in the open that America is basically an enemy of humanity. But the privilege and naiveness indoctrinated into them makes them live in denial. The truth is so surreal.

      It’s a hard task to admit to basically your entire life has been a lie. Not even just life but aspects of history. I think that’s why sometimes people snap, like Arron Bushnell and the Nashville RV bomber as an example.
