America is an angry country. It always has been. Those who came before us cleared out the locals by any means necessary, then sanitized the genocidal slaughter as they self-immortalized their deeds into the stuff of legend.

After the sun dried the corpses, we set upon each other. Our history is splattered in blood and steeped in unrestrained hostility toward all living creatures.

People in countries all over the world trip out on America. Not only do we make films the rest of the planet flocks to see — we are living in them as well. America is so larger-than-life, our reality kills millions of us each year.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining; I’m just saying that part of what the rest of the world considers to be exceptional about America is our ability to bring the pain over great distances at a high rate of speed, and our seemingly insatiable lust to do it again and again.

America has defined the size of the world. For now at least, things are as we make them.

1. Well said. But Empire always has its sunset, and that's what

comes after the hot noon day sun. I do not say this with pleasure, but with sadness. There is karma, after all, and it will likely match the speed with which we achieved what you described.

It is truly disturbing.

3. A great article, and surprising insights

I like this one best:

This is who we are. The world outside of America gets it. Some of them think we’re cool, others think we’re violent morons, but they all know we are not to be fucked with. We are armed, we are dangerous, and we will come over there.

It's kinda funny that people idolize the psycho, think he's "bold" and "fearless." An "Alpha."

He's just someone who hasn't run into a bullet yet.
