We can be alienated against ourselves, against women/men, against colored/white, against conservative/liberal, against adults/children, against the State lawlessness. So many things to vent about. Maybe we need to get past all that, and realize that our alienation, not the object of our alienation, is the problem ... and deal with that. I am ready to be less alienated, less pissed off. Anyone willing to join me?

I'm OK with my alienation. I'm that way on purpose, because most people aren't worth a shit. Alienation is simply the better alternative than having to associate with the assholes. So be grateful for the option and welcome it. Why would you want to align yourself with people you don't want to be around?
And the thing is you are never totally alienated. Unless your a total dickwad yourself, you're going to have at least a few friends, so you can be with people you actually like being around part of the time.
I don't have an "alienation" against people, I am more indifferent which is probably sadder on my part. I am of the sub-concious belief it seems, that as I had to scrap and claw to get to where I am, I am not disposed to helping people if I think they have not given enough of a fight. As to other things in life...meh.
The problem of Americans is not that we live in alienation, but that we live in "a lie nation."
