The issue is that most average Americans don't know how far they have fallen. One day, a great very many of them will wake up to the fact that the illusion of American supremacy was, just like most things in America, nothing more than a marketing ploy and a national "pep rally" -- nothing more.

That's when the resentment will set in. That's when the anger will set in.

Until then, most Americans have tuned out the news and are sleepwalking into whatever dystopian fascist-techno nightmare our billionaire overlord class has prepared for us.

I disagree with the political erosion of the term, and wish it could be reclaimed and reapplied only in its original ugly racistic meaning.

edit: Ok, I thought I was being slightly hyperbolic. Seems like the Netanyahu cabinet has actually called out Israel's oldest daily newspaper (founded 1919) for 'Antisemitic Incitement'. Alright then. I think I'd best back away carefully here.
