When most people talk about the actions of their government, military, or countrymen, they have this annoying habit of using the word "we".
We used to own slaves.
We fought the British for our freedom.
We saved Europe in WWII.
We're at war in the Middle East.
We should pass this or that law.
We're gonna make it to the playoffs this year!
That last one is a joke, but while I'm on the subject, I have been thinking about making a post about statism and sports... back to the matter at hand:
No. No. NO!
We didn't do anything. THERE IS NO "WE"!
I didn't own slaves.
I never fought the British.
I didn't "save Europe" in WWII.
I'm not at war with anyone.
I don't pass any laws (I wouldn't, and I couldn't even if I wanted to!)
I didn't do any of these things.
I am not my government. I am not my country. I want no association with either of these entities. Why anyone would want to lump themselves together with these power-hungry, immoral, thieving, murderous war-mongers is beyond me.
But even if for some reason you like your government, there is still no "WE". They act with or without you. They care nothing for us lowly individuals.
So stop saying "we"
There is no "we"
RANT OVER.
