A Nation in the Mirror: What have we become?

There comes a moment in every empire’s life…when it stops asking what are we doing…and starts insisting this is who we are.And that moment—that exact moment—is where we are now.Because you have to ask yourself something that should make your stomach turn:What kind of country rounds people up with masked agents…disappears them into detention systems…cuts off food, healthcare, and aid to its own people…while somehow always finding money for bombs, for war, for destruction?What kind of country says we can’t afford Medicaid—but we can afford another Middle East conflict?What kind of country freezes aid to farmers, slashes food benefits…and then hands out billions—billions—to corporations and foreign interests?That’s not economics.That’s priorities.
