It is too late to redeem US, born as it was in violence and injustice, excelling as it does at systemic greed and ignorance (the latter serving the former), wrapped in a glamorous veneer of pretended superiority (incl its entertainment, media, political and judicial circus).
But creations like these are a source of comfort by instilling 1 a sense of history in a robotic society 2 the hope that, theoretically at least, a revolution is still possible. I mean a gradual and non-violent one.
