So tomorrow is the 4th of July, or as it should be called "American Ego Stroking" day. Where people blow up a bunch of shit to celebrate their "independence" while everything else crumbles around them. I am not sure how much I can say here without setting off the "too political" alarm but here I go anyway. 

What right now is worth celebrating? Our arrogance? We constantly proclaim to be the best country in the world. Yet, for such a prestigous and mighty position, we fail at so many things. We have a racist, bigoted culture, with celebrated horridness at the forefront. We let people suffer if they lack the funds to be helped. We allow hunger, poverty, homeless to ravage our people, while we give those on top everything and even more. We bomb other countries and occupy them while we debate endlessly on how to solve the most basic of problems here at home. The troops serve, but what are they protecting? Who are they serving? Certainly not us at home who are struggling to make ends meet, struggling to feel joy or passion about life. Everything in "America" is about corruption, greed, immense egotistical nationalism. We are so self absorbed that we can't see everything that is wrong with us. That or we simply refuse. We allow this to continue. We allow everything to get worse. And we celebrate it. We glorify our ignorance. We love ourselves enough to hate everyone else. We live in a house of shattered mirrors so we can't see our own horrid reflection. A pandemic is still raging on and what will we do? Gather en masse to spread it more and more, just so we can pleasure our ego.

What else can I say at this point. Nothing I say matters. Nothing will change. Too many support this facade of superiority and perfection that we uphold. Everything will get worse and we will be celebrating it every step of the way. Know this: Pride is not my problem. Celebrated ignorance is.

I leave you with this song, the ultimate birthday song for "america". 

I will be locking this blog from comments. This is simply me expressing my viewpoints. What I think doesn't change anything, so it isn't worth letting it spiral into a debate.
