Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Of course it's true, Dales.
Much as I got tired of editec's lament, there is of course truth to the MOTU theory. The very wealthy of the world have much more in common with each other than with people of their own individual nations. Do they meet in star chambers and plan out the oppression of the many? Not exactly. They just work the system to their advantage by virtue of their wealth and influence. That's all it takes. And they fill our heads full of propaganda - patriotic or otherwise - to keep us from seeing the truth.
I miss Carlin. What a fucking genius.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
