Last night, after coming home from one of my three jobs, I caught the last half hour of a show on PBS called "Rich Hill: Growing up poor in rural america", which was part of the Independent Lens series. What I saw of it was sad and interesting enough, but the thing that really got to me was the little pop-up at the bottom of the screen, as king "Is the american dream still achievable?". I think it was supposed to be some sort of a poll or some stupid shit like that.
Of course I started to fucking rant like a lunatic. How can anyone talk about the fucking "amerikkkan dream", when the entire shit was built on the blood of the Native people, the slavery of Black people, and the land was stolen from Native and Mexican people from the fucking get-go? The entire fucking foundation of the amerikkkan dream is built on the nightmare of anyone who dared to cross amerikkka's path, and it continues like that to this day. In fact, it might be even worse for the rest of the world than it's ever been, due to all of the high-tech death raining down from the skies. So, for white people who are already in the upper classes, the amerikkkan dream is achievable. For everyone else, it's always been misery. Ask the civilians being killed in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and on the fucking streets of new fucking york.
