US reaction to Queen's death shows BS of "American Revolution"
No solidarity with colonized/formerly colonized nations
US itself was/is the colonizer
attacks on monarchy in Declaration of Independence absurd
Fawning over Queen shows how little some life is valued
Core characteristic of the US from inception, any progress has been hard-fought from below, taken place outside of proper channels until after such struggles waged
Talk of fascism rising
US has always been fascist
"classical" fascist states have been colony poor
Typically thought of fascist characteristics used to jump start accumulation
"classic" fascism thus a manifestation of the same underlying process
Important to note process is the same, otherwise a devaluing of certain lives is implied
