America Is Such A Brain Washed Society
Now, they are calling Zohran Mamdani a communist! This heavily right wing controlled nation has no conception of what that actually even means. America is such a brain washed society. In the land where money talks louder than the cries of millions of people suffering; they elected a convicted felon to be their President. More than 7 million Americans marched in towns and cities across the country in the No King’s rallies. That is 10% of all those who voted for each party in the last election, it is a huge number of people. These were peaceful protests against the Trump regime and its inhuman behaviours and blatant corruption. Donald Trump sent out a social media post showing him defecating on the millions of peaceful protesters below him and his warplane. That is the class of the man America chose as its leader.
Precious American Perspectives
I will give you an example of Anglo-settler racist thinking. After 9/11, every Muslim became a potential terrorist in the minds of many Americans. There are a million Muslims living in New York. The bomb carrying Islamic terrorist is such a popular stereotype or trope around the Western world that it defies the statistical realities of there being more than 2 billion Muslims and only a tiny number of actual terrorist acts in relation to this. If you compare 9/11 to the London Blitz, where more than 40, 000 were killed, 139, 000 injured and 2 million homes were destroyed, you get some greater perspective. Acts of mass violence are horrendous at whatever level, but going around blaming people because of the colour of their skin and how they look is no solution.
“ “This is disgusting,” Mamdani said during a sitdown with PIX 11. “This is Andrew Cuomo’s final moments in public life and he’s choosing to spend them making racist attacks on the person who would be the first Muslim to lead this city.”
Mamdani argued Cuomo’s remarks denigrated all Muslim New Yorkers. The Muslim community faced intrusive surveillance from the NYPD in the aftermath of 9/11, and the city was sued over that policy — a lawsuit it ultimately settled. “
Less than a million Americans died in WW2. Some 33 million locals died in the USSR during WW2. The Anglo perspective on major events is heavily skewed toward putting us at the centre of things. The factual reality is far different.
What Education Is Really There For?
In my experience, more of us who have only a basic education tend to see everything through a lens of how things directly relate to us. They hear stuff about racism and think about their own behaviour toward folk with different skin colours and cultures. It is not about them, however. It is actually all about the experience of the other. If you have not been trained to think this way it does not come naturally. Tolerance and respect for things you might not understand has to be learned. It is not all about you and your feelings about stuff!
Right Wing Americans Will Pay The Price
America is such a brain washed society. The extremist nature of the MAGA Republicanism currently controlling the nation is pretty vile. Inhuman treatment of immigrants. America was built on immigration. It is a country of immigrants. This bullshit narrative from fascist functionaries like Stephen Miller, himself coming from a family of recent immigrants, is racist poison. ICE agents with their faces masked beating up on Americans with brown skin is revolting the world. The disrespect for life, liberty and the rule of law is disgusting. Right wing Americans will pay the price in the end, as what comes around goes around.
Trump has fashioned all this pain and chaos around him, as he always does. It is a shit show for the whole world to see. Respect for America is at an all-time low – ground zero.
“A decade of Trump, has damaged America more than anything else in its last 50 years. Making enemies at home and abroad in record numbers like nothing we have seen in half a century. Debasing their humanity on the world stage, as stupidity and evil vie for first place in a race to the bottom. You can survey old and young observers around the world and they will condemn the fall of the United States in an equally horrified fashion. It is hard to believe that Trump could assemble such an extreme bunch of nasty, mentally unfit, and shallow thinking members of cabinet. It is a tour de force of derangement and diabolical intent.”
Robert Sudha Hamilton is the author of What Price Life?; America Matters: Pre-apocalyptic Posts & Essays in the Shadow of Trump; and other titles.
