The right to loot and burn buildings and threaten shopkeepers with rape

America was founded on vandalism and violence, and Americans used to be proud of that. What happened?

  • Decades of reckless deregulation and -er- corporatism, the inevitable corporate consolidation that that behavior encourged, and "Stranger Danger!"-type fearmongering... I reckon.

    The previously-super-illegal pervasive domestic surveillance programs sure don't help things, either. No cost is too high to stop "terror" at home and abroad, amirite? :(
