1. Great video!

It was indeed a funny history of the USA, but sadly it was also a very true history of the USA.

2. The KKK and the NRA both thrive on & exist because of white peoples' fears.

And so does the GOP.

4. The whole Capitalist system.....

...is predicated upon one idea: Divide and Conquer. Once you have used people's ignorance and fears to divide them from one another, they're less able to erect an effective defense or to launch any kind of counter-attack against the few who possess the resources (at least they possess them on-paper). It's so simple a system that even idiots can do it.

- As we've recently seen.

Sumthin' fer nuthin'

"The main feature of capitalism is the seductive assertion that you can get something for nothing in this world. That you can manufacture wealth through money manipulation, and that it is OK to steal and hold captive the people's medium of exchange, then charge them out the ass for access. That you can do so with a clear conscience. Which you can, if you are the kind of sleazy prick who has inherited or stolen enough wealth to get into the game. Even so, to keep a rigged game going, you must keep the suckers believing they can, and eventually will, benefit from the game."

7. my job requires me to drive

many back roads and inner city streets... I have seen almost everything out there... signs of every type (**if you can read this, you're within range**), gated drives, lots of big ugly dogs, razor wire, guns on signs... makes me very sad
