Being an American citizen is a very big deal.

Huge deal.

I've lived life as a only a Ghanaian citizen and I've lived life as an American citizen.

I've tried to explain this to Americans in my own family.

First generation Americans

And honestly this is why I don't fuck with them too heavy. A very warped sense of being. And a DEEP self-centerdeness and shallow politics about citizenship and the Global South

There are some things even the richest ppl who aren't American, Canadian, European can't access

Y'all are actually....a very selfish, very deeply self centered population of people and this is why your politics do NOT extend into that of American empire

Because if the American empire did actually crumble

There is SO much Americans would lose. And that's the conversation that leftists circle around.

Everything from the food, energy consumption, technology, internet usage occurs on the backs and blood of the Global South

What does this have to do with Bali?

The American dollar is strong bc America is a violent empire.

Borders are basically nonexistent bc America is a violent empire

The locals must kiss your fuckin asses bc your wealth and power tips the scale of interpersonal relationships
