Dave Lefcourt's Article: Will the Americans wake up?
My comment: Dear Dave, Even if the American people wake up, it will not help because they'll have to first look in the mirror. The American people are not pawns. They elect the war-mongers and give them impunity. They pay taxes to feed the beasts of war. They send their sons and daughters to perform the atrocities for their ruling class masters. As long as the American people continue to live in the lie of their hypocrisy, they cannot be saved. Ask yourself how is it possible for 99% to be ruled and fooled by the 1% in a democratic and free society if the people don't allow it? It won't even happen in an authoritarian society. Don't blame it on the ruling class and the war-mongers because the American people empower them. Don't blame it on the freedom-to-lie free press because the people want the freedom to lie and slander. Why else would Americans accept 250,000 deaths and blame everything on China? In fact, if this happened in China, such egregious liars and perpetrators of atrocities would be festooned on trees. China does have a long and rich history of peasant rebellions. Don't blame it on that nebulous "they." Blame it on ourselves. We have met the enemy and he is us. By the way, globalization is an American idea. America has the dollar hegemony. It buys everything with money it prints. Others must earn that US dollar in order to pay for things that they need for development and trade. America is the wealthiest, most powerful, and freest country in the world, why would the people want shit jobs mining or making shoes at minimum wage? In American politics, everyone wants jobs. Have the American people turned to brainless zombies? Do people want the freedom to be ignorant? Why would they need 80-hour a week shit jobs that pay two dollars an hour so their children can grow up without a family? China sacrificed a generation of its people to working in shit jobs for Americans so China's children can get educated and be more competitive in the global market dominated by America and the West. Americans don't need jobs. They need the basic guarantee of a home, healthcare, education, food, and the means to communicate. Then they need to stop raping and bombing other countries, stop sanctioning whoever whenever for whatever reasons, and use their spare time to travel the world to learn about how to live and let live. The American people are not pawns. They are America. Wake up indeed and look in the mirror. Change yourself and then go out and change America. That is the only hope for America and the only possibility of peace for the rest of the world.
