"The celebration of empire is an interment for inherent autonomy. The inauguration is a coronation, not of a sovereign ruler, but of a fallacious set of world views. There is no joy in this party. The legacy of our heritage is offended with every chorus of hail to the chief. Only when liberty is reasserted in our own land, can we once again set an example for the rest of mankind. It starts with one person at a time. Saluting a family dynasty under whatever family name is un-American. Rejecting the call to evangelize a heretical mission is truly the patriotic course. Restore your personal dignity, know your real enemy, the terror comes from within."
good article.
This 'fallacious set of world views" was virtually uncontested 100 years ago. We have the anti-imperialist resistance that rose up right along with imperialism itself to thank for the better analysis we are able to make now.
