As the fourth of July comes up this weekend, I can't help but think about what blantant bullshit it is. The lie that is repeated to us over and over again since we were small. That this is the greatest country in the world. They tell us how lucky we are to live in this country as they bomb wedding parties in Afghanistan. They tell us how this is the homeland of freedom and equality as they pass Nazi laws the harrass, degrade and criminalize anybody who looks like the MIGHT be from Mexico. They tell us that it is this country where anybody can make it as long as they work hard enought as their modern day lynch mobs AKA the police execute unarmed black children in cold blooded murder. They tell us that only in a country as wonderful as this could you even be saying the things I am saying as their torture chambers like Guantanamo and Bagram illegally hold thousands of people and rape children. It is in this spirit that I share this video.
