Yeah propaganda exists but the point is that this is already who the US has shown themselves to be. It is and has been a racist oligarchy for as long as I've been alive, and most likely longer.
The second Obama won you had shitheads burning efficiency of him or hanging him from trees.
My point is it's easy to blame Russian interference, etc. It's harder to look inwards and realize that oh hey, this country is actually just not thatbgreat and we've been living on lies for the last 80 years.
It is deeply, deeply racist and always has been. It is deeply oligarchical, and always has been.
There is more in common with modern day russia than there is with any civilized 1st world country in western Europe.
Love that typo, autocorrect strikes again. But I wouldn't say the country is deeply, deeply racist. That just feels a little harsh. It's racist for sure, but I would reserve the double deep for when slavery was still allowed. Also I think it is a bit of human nature to be racist in that humans naturally form groups, and race is an easy way to do it for a lot of people. Humans just haven't evolved at the same rate our technology and society have. You have to put effort into not being racist (unconscious bias) and a lot of people just don't know that. Others don't care. The number of countries that are more racist than the US is probably greater than those that are less. We still all have a lot of work to do, but it's going to take time.
I deeply disagree with this. You are not born a rasist and this is something you have to work against. Young children are not rasist, it is created by society and the enviroment you grow up in. Don't call it human nature. Yeah, if you meet person from a tribe that has never seen a white person before they will think you look funny, but they wont mistreat you. Rasist mistreats you for looking different. In today and age it is beyond bullshit to say you have never seen person of color before so that excuse is not enough either.
