“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
Really, so the Yankee ruling class is "exercising tyranny for the good of its victims"? Tell that to Syrian children
oh no they don’t care about non citizens they are just some brown people somewhere else.
The parties in the United States only care about its capitalists. Neither of them care about even the proletarians of the United States.
Maybe if you were claiming that in some other decade, but this is very blatant in the 2020s.
