  response to  Chalmers Johnson's post It’s Time to Flee the Country

  Genocide in the U.S.? Maybe I missed something.

  In the comparisons between Nazi Germany and the U.S. today, no one mentions the huge difference separating the two that render this comparison absurd: the government in Nazi Germany carried out a genocide within their own borders, against their own people, which, in turn, was the cause of a mass exodus out of the country. Is the United States killing untold numbers of innocents worldwide every day? Yes. Is the United States currently killing, or about to start killing, its own citizens within its own borders? No.

  And if you do take your dollars and "flee" the country, you might notice that in your new home, people actually take to the streets and do not relent until their demands have been met, unlike here, where we (I am including myself) are too self-absorbed to really do anything other than worry about "me". It's so easy to collect your money, move from the country that you've never tried to change, to another country, where you can drink your beer and shake your head sadly with a local over the U.S. You will be just as inconsequential there.
