ATTN: "Ordinary people in America"

Arundhati Roy sez: “It’s a strangely insular place, America. When you live outside it, and you come here, it’s almost shocking how insular it is … I’m still taken aback at the extent of indoctrination and propaganda in the United States. It is as if people there are being reared in a sort of altered reality, like broiler chickens or pigs in a pen … People are so isolated, and so alone, and so suspicious, and so competitive with each other, and so sure that they are about to conned by their neighbor, or by their mother, or by their sister, or their grandmother. What’s the use of having fifty percent of the world’s wealth, or whatever it is that you have, if you’re going to live this pathetic, terrified life?”

Arundhati Roy also sez: “People from poorer places and poorer countries have to call upon their compassion not to be angry with ordinary people in America.”
