Of course there are some very decent people in America . I met some in Israel who lined the call to be part of an international delegation seeking to protect Mordecai Vanunu on his release from prison …
There’s outstanding individuals like Chomsky, Howard Zinn, the philosopher Mary Daly … but the culture as a whole is based on exploitation and appropriation . I’m currently reading Vanda Shiva on the USA corporations attempts to patent seeds developed over generations by Indian farmers … You describe yourself as a geek Erik but geeks usually are into nothing but techie stuff however your in depth explorations on socio-political realities makes very ungeek-like!
