I’ve seen a number of people trying to deny the truth, and it’s honestly sickening at this point. How bad do things have to get for people to acknowledge what I recognized on the night of November 5th? People really cannot handle reality as it is.

      Even still, there is no good version of America as a piece of culture or ideal worth living up to. In all its forms, America is a vessel for white supremacy and settler colonialism. Even when distinguishing between the current US government and any other moment in American history, the reality is that at no point has America ever been a good project for the people it lords over.

      As Americans, we need to make a clean break from the “America” brand at all levels if we ever want the rest of the world to trust us ever again. “Liberal” patriotism is still patriotism and needs to be smashed.
