SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: what you call "America" is a ruling class that decided long ago that its identity is inseparable from domination.

You accidentally said the quiet part out loud. "You are demanding that a country abandon its own identity, interests, and behavior. If the United States stopped acting the way it does, it would no longer be the United States." So let me translate that for anyone in the U.S. who is not sitting on an oil company board. You are saying: If America stopped toppling governments that nationalize their resources. If it stopped weaponizing the dollar. If it stopped using sanctions to starve children. If it stopped treating the Global South as a spare parts warehouse. It would "no longer be America." You are not defending a country. You are defending a business model. And here is where I am very clear. I am not asking that business model to grow a conscience. It will not. I am speaking to the people who live inside it and do not profit from it. If you are working two jobs and still cannot afford a doctor. If your kid’s school is falling apart. If your rent eats half your paycheck. If your student loan feels like a sentence. Ask yourself: Are you really the one whose "identity" depends on coups in Latin America, bases in Asia, and sanctions on countries you will never visit? Or are you the collateral that keeps the machine running while others skim the profit? You say I am trying to "un-US America." No. I am pointing out that what you call "America" is a ruling class that decided long ago that its identity is inseparable from domination. A small circle of people who can lose a war, crash an economy, sign a trillion-dollar weapons package, and still get a promotion. If that is the identity you are protecting, then say it plainly: America, as you understand it, cannot exist without other people’s hunger, other people’s dictatorships, other people’s "failed" revolutions. Do not hide it behind emojis. You tell me "they cannot change the system, it is pointless to try, multipolarity will fix it." Of course you want them to believe that. Because as long as Americans think they are powerless, the only actors left on the stage are the same men who turned their flag into a logo for war. I am not asking a nurse in Ohio or a warehouse worker in Texas to overthrow the empire on their lunch break. I am asking them to stop confusing their humanity with your idea of "American behavior." To see that the same state that sends drones to Yemen is the one that will let them die on a hospital floor if it protects a profit margin. You say if the U.S. stopped acting this way it would no longer be the U.S. Fine. Then every American who is not cashing an imperial dividend needs to decide something: Are you loyal to a passport, Or to the part of you that knows your life, your kids, your dignity should not depend on someone else’s ruined country? I am not trying to un-US America. America is doing that on its own. Every time it tells you that your identity depends on someone else’s misery. Every time it spends another fortune on war and sends you the bill. Every time it tells you that asking for less brutality is an attack on "who we are." You can laugh and say I will fail miserably. I am not the one I am betting on. I am betting on the moment an ordinary American looks at their empty fridge, their medical bill, the footage from the latest "intervention," and finally understands: None of this was for them. And never was.

You are demanding that a country abandon its own identity, interests, and behavior. If the United States stopped acting the way it does, it would no longer be the United States. You trying to “un-US” America. You will fail miserably.
