MODERATORS
NO.
Every single Trump supporter needs to watch this. Every fucking fence-sitter needs to watch this. Every apologist needs to watch this. Every person who thinks Trump is the only problem and things will go back to normal after he's gone needs to watch this. Everyone who still denies the US is an authoritarian empire needs to watch this.
They need to watch it to drive home that the imaginary version of America in their heads DOES NOT FUCKING EXIST. The US is an authoritarian corporatocracy where the dollar is god and the rich take pleasure in the misery and pain of everyone else. Every single fucking American needs to know they are part of the evil empire. Every single American needs to know that the rest of the world sees them as the bad guys, and this is why they need to watch it.
Edit: The downvoters really just don't get it. Americans like to pretend that they are the greatest country in the world. They tell themselves that lie constantly. I worked there for years and I had to leave to escape the toxicity. If no one holds a mirror up to their evil depravity, they will never see themselves for what they are. A bloated, evil corrupt empire. There is a reson the people who lived near Auschwitz (and other towns) were forced marched through the camps after the war ended, so they could see the sheer evils they pretended like they didn't know about.
Fuck that. Make the Americans see the evil perpetuated in their names.
They're all going to masturbate to it.
No. The same people that would watch this are the same people that bright their kids to lynchings.
Those people are already lost. There are a lot who just don't see what their country really is. If you don't force them to see it, they never will admit to it. American civilians need to see the atrocities, so maybe they will actually do something instead of just throwing their hands up and saying, "Well I didn't vote for him"
