      I’m American, and me neither. It’s honestly still such a mystery to me that I do think about quite often.

      The best that I can come up with is that it’s a mixture of a culture of oppression through a cycle of psychological abuse that they’ve grown to be proud and belligerent to perpetuate, deeply profound ignorance, and a unique emphasis on faith and its taboo of critical thought; all amounting to a society with a stagnation of free will and progress.

      Of course, that is a amalgamation or conglomeration of a wide spectrum of archetypes of people, liberals and non Americans included. It’s a survival instinct and a cope in almost all cases.

      Finding people even conceptually aware of this earthly prison is rare, and finding a person with both an awareness and a plan to bring us above it AND the power to bring it to fruition AND the drive to do so… hasn’t happened yet.
