The top layers, the upper-crust elitists and most of their puppet politicians, and the like, have a form of mental illness and it seems to permeate the rest of the country like a cancer.
You are mistaken, I’m sorry to say. The truth is that Americans are taught to believe certain lies, on which their society is founded.
They believe their constitution makes them free. It doesn't. It makes money and private property free, and enslaves human beings to it.
They believe all men are created equal, which is a lie which excuses them from noticing that they live in a society in which equality is impossible.
They mortgage their lives in pursuit of a fantasy of greedy materialism called the American Dream.
They believe – some of them, anyway – that the possession of lethal objects makes their lives safer.
If the common people of America are being exploited by an elite of politicians and capitalists, as you suggest, well, it is only these common delusions that make it possible.
But then, that is the way of people everywhere. The lies we believe in make us vulnerable to those who see through the lie. Just look at that bloated parasite-horror, organised religion. What is it but the systematic exploitation of people through the manipulation of widely-believed lies?
