IF we are citizens of the most rich and powerful country that has ever existed- and what american could ever deny that, then we need to accept that we are citizens of an Empire. Robert Jensen explains just what that means with some very easy statements like "empires are never benevolent". He compares the wrong-doings of empires like Germany and how they manipulate populations to accept aggressive behaviors (Yes they do!) and how to stay smarter and more critical. In answer to the accusation of 'why so critical of US all the time?' the answer is, more pointedly, if there is culpability of bad behavior, when our country is TOO aggressive, TOO greedy, TOO violent, why can't U.S. apologists even see it? Blind patriotism? It's all in the subtitle: The Struggle to Claim Our Humanity".
