I hope you don't mind how many sentences I highlighted in your amazing essay. I could have highlighted the whole thing. I agree with you on all but one or two points, and believe too many of our people have been brainwashed into believing we are imperialistic, racist and greed-driven to a degree that exceeds any other country.

I'm afraid this brainwashing and divisiveness is an intentional effort to lead us to the false utopia some powerful people envision; a utopia dependent on oblliterating all the things that ensure our freedom.
