I remember how the "kids in cages" were forgotten once Biden was elected. I remember how people idly shrugged at him saying we must fund the police in the aftermath of the George Floyd protests. I remember constantly how people can't just be assed to include the Indigenous within their political purview at all, especially if it butts against their enjoyment of a fucking sci-fi film. I remember what was done to me in the aftermath of Gaza finally becoming a national story and how people just continue casually ignoring the horrors that occurred there under the last administration because it is inconvenient to the culture war narrative.
The anger, hopelessness, and these embarrassing nationalistic platitudes of this so-called Shining City on a Hill being torn apart by random bad actors speaks to the level of unconsciousness we are ultimately working with, an unconsciousness that ensures even well-meaning Americans will never actually do anything of worth to take back and express their political power in the ways needed within the Imperial Core.
