On average, people are the same all over the world. In general pretty nice, with sociopaths rising to the top in many areas.

It is hard for those outside the US who don’t travel there much to understand how Americans can be so “easily” manipulated. It is nearly impossible for Americans who don’t travel abroad to understand how thoroughly they are manipulated.

The propaganda in the US begins almost at birth. It is relentless and ubiquitous. It is only with the rise of the internet and writers like Caitlin Johnstone that people are breaking free of that manipulation. Thus the more and more obvious attempts to trick us into war.

Let’s hope we can dodge Armageddon long enough to can get these assholes out of power.
