Recant the incantation.

Recant the incantation.
I've been watching and listening to alot of you tube dissenters, but mostly the Young Turks, who I actually like most of the time but recently they had an episode trying to recycle the "I love America, but not what America does" incantation in order to alleviate concerns, I suppose, of regular people who listen to their righteous spiel, yet think they may be anti-American as well as anti-Semitic.
Frankly, I don't know what America is. It's kind of like Gertrude Stein's statement about Oakland, "There is no there, there." Don't get me wrong, I like Oakland in the same way I think of America. I lived there and live here in America. I born here, my parents born here, and eventually, as for us all, and I mean all, go back far enough and all our ancestors born somewhere else. Whether by land bridges, boats, by foot path, air, and ambition, we have all come here, tried to live here, made here in spite the unnatural obstacles thrown up in front of us by false pretenses, lies, promises, and all the incantations of the mystical, cultist, political systems we live under.
So, America to me is the Grand Canyon, places like that. Nativism means nothing to me. If there's anything left of a native/indigenous "place" on this earth, it has been usurped, corrupted, misused, abused by sometimes the native as well as the settlers themselves. The land is free, it's just as Rousseau said, "When the first person built a fence or wall, and the rest of us walked around in deference to that fence, that "ownership" by King, Prince, or wealthy man, we all became some sort of slave and serfs and working for others rather than for ourselves, we all became owned.
If there is an America like what people say they believe in, like a personality, like they have made God, presidents, and other authoritarians, it is something with a fence or wall between you and your freedom.
I'd rather believe in the Grand Canyon version.
