@TheComfortableSpotPodcast@mastodon.social Yes. This has been caused by Americans. I spent a few years in America some 15 years ago, and I can tell you this is how America has always been, and is the epitome of American culture. Over privileged, a sense of entitlement, with a deep fundamental belief of superiority, yet ignorance of causality to the rest of the world. The "American Dream" expanded out of America in 1980, eating everything in it's path for 40 years, to keep feeding the American capitalist machine - sucking out the wealth of other countries replacing their cultures with "Americanism". It has been relentless and never stopped, just so Americans can have over sized meals, houses, and cars. I don't say this to be mean, sorry, but Americans are being shown their true reflection in a mirror, and they don't like it. Nobody is coming to save America, because nobody can, since everyone has been forced into reliance upon them. P.S. This message also comes with love and hope - for all Americans, world citizens, and a better future together for all of us. --- There's one thing for sure though: Whatever happens, America will never be the same again (for better or worse). āā
