    I’m going to need more specificity.

    Do you mean the supercontinent comprising North America and South America? Seems a like gross blanket generalization.

    Do you mean the land held by the government of the United States of America? Not sure what the land ever did to you.

    Do you mean the common folk living in this area? That’s like throwing out the a baby with the bath water. Many, unfortunately, can be faulted for allowing som fucked up shit to happen, but without solidarity most only have power to produce very small changes in the world.

    Do you mean every person employed by the government of the United States of America? Do you hold the philosophical perspective that one bad apple spoils the whole damn bunch? If you do, this slogan may not be the best way to convey your message.

    Do you mean the specific politicians in power who are performing some of the most destructive acts in human history? ’Cause yeah, fuck those guys. I hate what they’re doing, and they need to stop.

        I assume whichever is your preferred system to swap for the current one, you prefer it doesn’t allow these people to continue what they’re doing.

      The US Empire is a genocidal settler-colony. It isn’t a case of a single bad apple, but a system built on genocide and slavery on stolen land plundering the entire global south at the barrel of the world’s largest millitary.

      The government of the United States of America, including those who willingly mentally support its reign of terror, including voters and financiers.
