I wanted to take a picture of the only remaining Jewish synagogue in Cairo, and the guards said no photos. So my friend says, “Hiya Amereekia she’s American” and I said “Wahid bs only one!” and he looked at the other guard and said “…I didn’t see you”

The power of ~~America~~. Gets you anything and anyone in Arab countries. (Or .. at least it can in Libya, ‘cause they just drop at their feet if they know they’re American).

You forget there’s no such thing as a “common interest.” Those “American” gains you speak of were really gains for the American rmpire, overall the business elite & the global elite. For me, a poor college student, these “gains” didn’t make my life better but they made the rich richer.
