When I see these American utopian delusion, through media or discourse, I get a strange vibe. It’s not negative, it’s not like when I learn about the reality of daily life of workers in the US that gets my blood boiling. Instead I experience some kind of nostalgia
I wish it was real I think. If the US were exactly what they claim to be, life would be so much easier.
It’s not you, a lot of western MLs were liberals before. I remember the Obama years, I remember how naive I was, I genuinely thought that the US was leading the way against racism and inequality. In my defense I’m European so I had no first hand experience of the country and the media were creaming themselves with Obama juice. Also I was 11 years old lol.

Even if they were what they claimed to be, it’d still be a genocidal colonial state 🤷🏿♂️
Yeah sure… even if the watered down version of History taught in Florida was real, still problematic
Part of me misses the time before the cracks really started to show, back when maybe the problem was just me
