We need to emphasize, over and over again, that the United States is neither a real democracy, nor a fully free society. That is propaganda.

When you look at what the American people actually want- jobs with livable wages, affordable housing and education, bodily autonomy, higher taxation on the rich, clean air and water- and you look at what our supposed leaders and courts do- working hard to deliver the opposite- it is plain we live in something more closely resembling an occupied country.
