Our toys, our movies, and our cultural events are all built around war and killing. The untold murders the empire commits in the Third World come back to haunt us in our daily lives.
Does the violence and ethic cleansing in the West Bank and Gaza get left out of our media because of US contradictions? We praise freedom and human rights when it comes to Ukraine, and yet send billions to Israel for its slaughter of Palestinians.
Does that mean one of our political parties can capitalize on worker mistreatment and abuse, especially since the gap between the rich and poor is now the highest it has ever been?
