history and politics

shame
regret 

they aren't the same

but politics and history are

power makes money, but money does not make power 

a.k.a Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump

this is the setup of failing america
broken states, making up a broken country
making up a broken national community

faggots, niggers, bible thumpers, weak women, illegal mexicans, terrorists, muslims, male white privilege, etc.

   These hot words, trigger words, are used to cause conflict in mass media. not to offend as they were originally used in american history. these words need to become definition-less. they are words. not actions. not stereotypes. words. and the fact that they command such a response means the definitions of these words are being manipulated to mean much more than they actually do. 

words are air, mixed with vibration. actions act on reality. one of those means much more in a life and death situation. complacency makes them equal. 

political and historical change happen at the same time. 

and generational 'hot words' correlate with each major generational change. 
... this generation's hot words are more diverse than ever. 
mimicking that of roman, old english, old french, and old british empires. 
all of which fell at a correlation point, where society was most 'triggered,'

america offends itself daily; america eats itself alive daily. the most similar empire by comparison is the roman empire. and also by comparison, america is on the verge of collapse. or more accurately, the american society is collapsing. 

the identity of america, and americans, does not exist. you are your heritage; irish, german, african, asian, whatever ... but never just american. while these are just words, they are an affect of illicit segregation. created by an environment where regular use of 'hot words,' are the instigation of segregation.  

why can't americans identify with each other like other countries do? 
why can't american mean, currently an american citizen, instead of the requirement of putting a modifier in front of it like irish or african. especially when almost every ancestry, with the exception of native american, has resided in north america for the same amount of time. 

because hot words, used by politicians, applied to history, to make you think that identifying as a nation ruins your individuality. when it doesn't. it creates a community of individuality. of which america needs.
