The present moment is always special, and in hindsight you always end up cherishing it like you now do with the past. Once you're able to see it this way, you start enjoying the process/life a little more each day.
@Angel_pc En gran parte se debe a que ellos mismos y toda su maquinaria mediática nos han adoctrinado para pensar que todo lo nuestro y relativo a ello es inferior a lo suyo. Por consecuente, históricamente los hemos visto y por ende tratado como superiores.
The American education system does not teach empire.
This is not an accident.
It teaches the Revolution. It teaches the Constitution. It teaches the Civil War in a way that frames it primarily as a story of "national healing" rather than unfinished reckoning.
It teaches World War II as the definitive American story: the sleeping giant awakened, the "arsenal of democracy," the liberation of Europe, the moral clarity of that specific conflict deployed as a permanent filter through which all subsequent American violence can be viewed as basically continuous with defeating Hitler.
It does not teach the Philippines, where the U.S. military killed somewhere between 200,000 and 1,000,000 people between 1899 and 1913 during the Philippine-American War, a war most Americans have never heard of.
It does not teach the Banana Wars, where the U.S. military intervened repeatedly in Central America and the Caribbean to protect the commercial interests of American corporations.
It does not teach the full history of Iran: the 1953 coup that removed a democratically elected prime minister and installed a Shah who ran a torture state, because the elected prime minister wanted to nationalize Iranian oil.
It does not honestly teach Korea, 1945-53. Guatemala, 1954. Vietnam, 1954-75. Lebanon, 1958 and 1982-84. The Congo, 1960-65. Cuba, 1961. Brazil, 1964. Dominican Republic, 1965. Haiti, across the 20th century. Indonesia, 1965. Greece, 1947-49 and 1967-74. Laos, 1964-73. Cambodia, 1969-75. Chile, 1973. Angola, 1975-1991. Argentina, 1976-1983. Nicaragua, the 1980s. El Salvador, the 1980s. Grenada, 1983. Panama, 1989. Afghanistan, 1979-92 and 2001–21. Iraq, 1991-2003 and 2003-11. Somalia, 1992-95. Sudan, 1998. Yugoslavia, 1999. Yemen, 2002-25. Venezuela, 2002 and 2014-present. Honduras, 2009. Libya, 2011. Syria, 2012-26. Ukraine, 2014-present.
It does not teach these things honestly because a population that understood them would have a very different relationship to the word "freedom" when its government uses it to justify intervention.
The ignorance is load-bearing.
Remove it, and the entire moral architecture of American exceptionalism becomes uninhabitable.
They know this.
The curriculum is not an oversight.
The curriculum is a choice, made deliberately, renewed continuously, defended furiously whenever teachers try to expand it.
The most powerful weapon American empire has ever deployed is not the aircraft carrier.
It is the history class.
This cost them about $1 trillion.
The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people.
And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.
Está perfectamente documentado (información disponible al público) que la CIA ha estado detrás de numerosas intervenciones en otros países con el único fin de perpetuar los intereses económicos de 🇺🇸 y sus empresas y sigue habiendo gente que cree que actúan por altruismo 😂😂😂
ex director de la CIA: "SI, nosotros invadimos países, provocamos revueltas para desestabilizar gobiernos, planeamos golpes de estado y asesinamos líderes políticos"
un pendejo panista en méxico: "la cia viene a ayudarnos, es lo que mexico necesita, bienvenidos, gracias trump"
Los argentinos están emigrando masivamente a varios países.
El principal: México.
Un Ubicatex. Estamos en el 2026. La Argentina ultra capitalista es un desastre económico. En México la mitad de la gente que no cenaba, hoy cena.
Cierren sus libros y VEAN.
El PAN no solo le abrió la puerta a la CIA, le abrieron paso al imperialismo del que historicamente hemos resistido millones de mexicanas y mexicanos, la colonización, la discriminación y las muertes injustas a manos del ICE que han sufrido nuestros hermanos migrantes que pagan con el cuerpo lo que ellos negocian en lo oscuro.
El mismo partido que permitió el operativo “Rápidos y Furiosos” con Felipe Calderón, 2,000 armas importadas al día; el partido de “comes y te vas” de Vicente Fox, arrodillando la política exterior frente a Estados Unidos.
La frontera norte no es solo territorio: es la línea donde se contiene a toda América Latina.
Y desde ahí, Maru Campos no solo traiciona a México:
traiciona a TODA AMERICA LATINA que resiste, al país que tiene con hambre a Cuba, que bombardea a Venezuela y que extorsiona a toda la region.
A country that has been bombed by America knows what America is.
A country that has been sanctioned into poverty by America knows what America is.
A country whose elected government was overthrown by American intelligence knows what America is.
Only American citizens, sitting inside the country that did all of this, remain genuinely uncertain about what America is.
This is not a coincidence.
This is the one information environment on earth that was designed, resourced, and sustained specifically to prevent that knowledge from becoming normal.
Hollywood.
Textbooks.
The nightly news.
The "national interest" frame that converts every act of imperial violence into a defensive response to external threat.
The most sophisticated propaganda operation in history was never aimed at the enemy.
It was aimed at home.
They taught their children that World War II was a war between good and evil.
And America won.
So in the deepest layer of the American psyche, there is this foundational equation:
America = the side that wins the wars against evil.
Every subsequent war got loaded into that equation.
Korea. Vietnam. Gulf War. Iraq. Afghanistan.
Each one was presented, at the beginning, with the same moral architecture.
The same clarity of purpose.
The same enemy who needed to be stopped.
And when the wars turned out to be complicated, when the reasons turned out to be false, when the conduct turned out to be criminal, when the outcomes turned out to be catastrophic, the equation couldn't be revised.
Because the equation is not really about the wars.
The equation is about the identity.
You cannot tell Americans that Vietnam was a war crime without implying that America is capable of war crimes, which implies that America is not automatically the good side, which collapses the foundational equation, which leaves an entire civilization's self-understanding without a floor.
This is not a political disagreement.
This is an existential threat to a constructed self.
And people defend their constructed selves with the same ferocity they defend their lives.
Sometimes more.
