Comment on Would the US (if not the entire world) be better if that kid didn't break in to Harambe's enclosure over in the Cincinnati Zoo back in 2016?

Theory: the death of Harambe was the moment that an entire cohort realized that the world is a deeply unfair place. So Harambe represents when their innocent internal world fell apart. I.e., they were young at the time.

The evils of the AmeriKKKan empire vastly predate poor Harambe’s death. It’s been a white supremacist, settler-colonialist, patriarchal capitalist project from the very moment white people landed here.

  It’s really not, but AmeriKKKan settlers are so uncurious and shallow that it needs to be spoon-fed to them.

This, but instead of your rant against the US, just humans in general. Every country has those kinds of people that would enable evil. The only difference is that that in different places their evilness is allowed in different amounts/representation.

  You call that a rant? This is a rant! 😆

  Yes exactly. AmeriKKKa in particular allows for the maximal evil as a function of the maximal ignorance our privilege buys us. There are privileged people in every country, but AmeriKKKa has a culture which disproportionately exalts the characteristics of privilege, in particular our ability to be ignorant. In short: AmeriKKKa has a bourgeois culture.
  
  Like if AmeriKKKan settlers acted even a fraction as ignorant and uncurious as we do in the global South, we would all end up in nameless fucking graves as deaths by ignorance of the world we live in.
