    The USA was born out of genocide, grew through slavery, and has continued to prosper by economic and military exploitation of every country they can. They are an oligarchy now, and always have been. Their constitution only allowed rich white males to have a say, and that has fundamentally not changed in 250 years.

    This viewpoint has only become more clear and undeniable over the last few years.

    The destruction of the U.S. empire will accelerate as they stab more of their allies in the back.

    I have family and friends in the U.S. that I will never be able to see again.

    I have seen the steady rise of fascism in the U.S. since the assassinations of the Kennedys, MLK, Malcolm and all the black nationalist leaders, Nixon’s killing students, Reagan and the Bushs arming Contras and Al Queda, the systematic oppression and destruction of labor unions and the middle class, the consolidation of all power into the corporations’ hands. We are seeing the mask drop further now, but the dead skull of imperialism has been there for everyone to see, even when the blue faction is in office. They all serve capitalism, and not the people.

    Thanks for the feedback, great points!

    Fair play: they’re charging tariffs on us and now you reward them?

    I need to figure out how to make this into a concise message that someone driving by will be able to process.

    I won’t be able to start my project until the weather warms up, so I will have time to think about it.

    Thanks for the input. I will certainly be rotating signage, and trying to judge reactions. I like the emphasis on safety that your suggestions bring up, perhaps appealing to their and their families’ self-interest might make them think.

    In my opinion the time for non-extreme dialog has passed, since the ICE Gestapo are already publicly executing innocents with absolute impunity, but I understand a lot of people are not there yet.






  • I know that many here and myself included, don’t appreciate his anti-worker example of the “Workers of the World Unite” being used as the lie of a corrupt regime…

    That was my first thought, why the fuck did he have to dismiss and disparage workers from the very start of his speech? Then I remembered, he is a banker, he serves the bankers, and bankers have no use for workers except to bleed them dry.

    It is encouraging that he recognizes SOME of the failures of the current system, but he ignored the rise of fascism world-wide, and still thinks everything will be fine if we just have more militarism and capitalism.
