  1. #Money, the interesting thing about it is if you #exist in #poverty, you desperately need it for your day to day survival, then if your on the opposite end as in being a multi million or billionaire in reality money means nothing, because everything you own and do is leveraged off of debt that you one don't actually own and second can never actually satisfy, and the rules of the game are very different for those in poverty, and the rules are slightly different if your in the middle, but if your on top, the rules don't apply to you unless somehow your generation and hoarding of wealth imposes upon another top income holder, basically if your in poverty all the way to the bottom end of double digit millions, your beholden to the entire state if it where, and beyond that the entire state apparently is beholden to you and your ability to leverage debt, it is a rigged system of epic inequality and strongly embraces prejudice against the rest of us whom simply would appreciate the basics in life to be readily available without so much turmoil, and stress to our mental and physical wellbeing, money is an illusion of power and has left far to many of us going hungry, literally;

  2. A quotation from Henry Commager

    It is easier to say what loyalty is not than to say what it is. It is not conformity. It is not passive acquiescence in the status quo. It is not preference for everything American over everything foreign. It is not an ostrich-like ignorance of other countries and other institutions. It is not the indulgence in ceremony — a flag salute, an oath of allegiance, a fervid verbal declaration. It is not a particular creed, a particular version of history, a particular body of economic practices, a particular philosophy.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1947-07), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 4, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

  3. A quotation from Henry Commager

    Who among American heroes could meet their [loyalty] tests, who would be cleared by their committees? Not Washington, who was a rebel. Not Jefferson, who wrote that all men are created equal and whose motto was “rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” Not Garrison, who publicly burned the Constitution; or Wendell Phillips, who spoke for the underprivileged everywhere and counted himself a philosophical anarchist; not Seward of the Higher Law or Sumner of racial equality. Not Lincoln, who admonished us to have malice toward none, charity for all; or Wilson, who warned that our flag was “a flag of liberty of opinion as well as of political liberty”; or Justice Holmes, who said that our Constitution is an experiment and that while that experiment is being made “we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death.”

  4. A quotation from Henry Commager

    What is the new loyalty? It is, above all, conformity. It is the uncritical and unquestioning acceptance of America as it is — the political institutions, the social relationships, the economic practices. It rejects inquiry into the race question or socialized medicine, or public housing, or into the wisdom or validity of our foreign policy. It regards as particularly heinous any challenge to what is called “the system of private enterprise,” identifying that system with Americanism. It abandons evolution, repudiates the once popular concept of progress, and regards America as a finished product, perfect and complete.

    Essay (1947-09), "Who Is Loyal to America?" Harper's Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

  27. I hate the #UnitedStates with every piece of me. I am ashamed to have been born here. I am distraught that my ancestors were ever born and that they ever had to endure the nightmare that is #PlantationNation. I am disgusted that I fell for the ruse and thought it was safe to have children. Now they are stuck in this #whitesupremacist hellhole that is getting worse each day. Thank God they got their degrees already. But my grandkids and nieces and nephews... sitting ducks for the Kens and Karens of the evil Unwarranted Default (#mainstream, #whitegaze, #centrist #AmeriKKKan society and the unendurable, unjust #statusquo it accepts and which it commands, abuses, and threatens the oppressed people it exploits to tolerate and support) and its inhumane, irredeemable #systemicracism. The #SCOTUS is a prime example of why I am over the human species and why I believe it has EARNED the punishment of #climatechange. No decent species would allow white supremacy, much less mandate it and profit from it. Any species that would do that deserves extinction. Given what I see happening in the US each day, I pray that day comes SOON.
