I found Amerika through Corrupt which I chanced upon looking something up. Anyway, I have felt much the same about so many things but couldn't quite express it and wasn't sure if anyone else noticed or cared about this stuff anyway. It gives me the courage to try harder and not give in to the mediocre reality that has turned us into mindless clone lemmings. Keep up the good work.

Lacking consciousness, a man is unable to conceive of what consciousness is. Lacking an ability to recognize reality, a man is unable to function within it. Man is imbued with an amazing ability to mimic, without being able to be the thing he mimics. We find ourselves living the mere appearance of life, while being almost completely removed from the actual living. Quite a problem. “Intelligence is relative.
