I am coming to understand that as Americans, we were born into a powerfully induced mass illusion. An infantile consciousness of “I-want-I want,” which drives the machinery of war, waste and profits, and which colonizes our minds and souls from birth like a progressive disease. I say “coming to understand,” because, as an American I can never truly understand. My consciousness and neurosystem are far too mutated to ever understand. But I find great relief in the effort. And also pain. Joe Bageant ☀
