Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow? (lemmy.world)

We're inundated with propaganda. Our media is state run. All for-profit media is state run.

Could you elaborate on that take?

Reporting on things outside of the leading party's agenda are not allowed in broadcast and print media. The leading party in the United States is the ownership class.

Y'all have got to learn to separate the general population from all the elitist fuckhead of the current government. They were all hiding under their cowshit coveted rocks before the oligurkin mutts drug em out for the show

The 'Mercans are not usually aware that there are other countries besides the two countries, Europe and Africa.

I assume you define patriotism as belief in one's country because no other populated countries actually exist.

In sharp contradiction, most 'Mercans believe that they are Irish, a small town in Delaware.
