ＵｎＡｍｅｒｉｃａｎ

One day, future generations will look at all the things happening right now and question how everyone could be so naive. How we read in our history books about Germany and pretended to be so blind about history happening in the present day? How did we allow the government to get so far right that it went wrong? To see American children in tears and fear that masked men who don’t have the courage to show their faces go neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city and kidnap people who have grown roots here, picked our food, and have done nothing wrong beyond being born with brown skin? “It’s not the same,” some will say. “It’s not a concentration camp,” and “these people were criminals.” It will be too late by the time that the majority of Americans realize that we allowed democracy to fall. The people in charge let racism, fascism, and sexism run amuck. Narcissism, boy is it the strangest drug.

How UnAmerican to claim that one needs to be born on US Soil to be American. Most of us weren’t here when the Mayflower arrived lost in the United States to pillage and assault the Native Americans. And not soon after came the slaves that were ripped from their home countries in chains and forced to build the very house where the president stays. We don’t talk about those parts of history nowadays.

Something in my soul hurts watching the prisoners guilty of nothing more than having darker skin, being marched into concentration camps in modern day. This feels like a war crime on American soil. America is deporting anyone while allowing its real problems to fester. The literacy rate is supbar, the Healthcare system is so bizarre that one might die in a parking lot of where a hospital once was because they’re poor and their elected official opted to give themselves tax cuts. Some of the people in these neighborhoods even voted for their own demise, “he’s a billionaire,” there was nothing else to discuss. People voted for this admin because they weren’t like us.

America, your greed is showing. Your increase in believing in the uneducated is growing. No critical thinking went into that it starts with one population but hate if not extinguished, it’ll keep flowing. Hate is a cult and to keep telling the educated that they’re exaggerating is an insult.

Fascism doesn’t happen all at once. I wonder if the people in Germany saw it coming. Where do we go from here? Once we fix it we can never go back especially knowing how easily it was to break our democracy at the drop of a hat. Such fragile frameworks weren’t meant to last forever. Maybe this country has to fall before it gets its act together. The problem is that America was never great, they never paid the slaves, and by the time that the majority figures out that the government is overstepping, it’ll be too late.

Being uninformed in a growing fascist government could and will be the biggest mistake. Future people will ask Where were you when the country collapsed? And no matter your answer it’ll be comparable to the people playing the tiny violins while the Titanic snapped. Critical thinking is cool but it shouldn’t be a thing of the past. Some Americans would’ve given Anne Frank up and it shows. Other countries are holding funerals for the United States of America even before it’s decomposed.

Just like Rome wasn’t built in a day, it didn’t fall in one day either. – Uncivilized; How Empires Fall
