#parasite state

[quotesfromall]

We’re told to support the troops, even if we don’t know exactly why they’re going to kill people overseas. We have national holidays of jingoistic fervor like Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day and July 4th and Presidents’ Day and Columbus Day, perpetual reminders of the imperialism, war, and power that perpetuates our existence.

Black Flags and Burnt Ballots

[quotesfromall]

You pick any man or woman on the street in the Middle East and give him or her the option of staying put or coming to America to start their lives over again with the rights and freedoms we identify ourselves by, and they'll choose the good ol'USA every time. They might burn our flag for the cameras, but throw a handful of greencards in the air and they'd cut each other's throats to get their hands on them.
