Do you hate America?
I hate America for being a hypocritical white supremacist capitalists.
"I don't hate America. In fact, think it's one of the best countries anyone ever stole." I have a confession to make: If by "America" they mean the elected/appointed officials and the corporations that own them, well, I guess I do hate that America-with justification.
Among many reasons, I hate America for the near-extermination and subsequent oppression of its indigenous population. I hate it for its role in the African slave trade and for dropping atomic bombs on civilians. I hate its control of institutions like the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization. I hate it for propping up brutal dictators like Suharto, Pinochet, Duvalier, Hussein, Marcos, and the Shah of Iran. I hate America for its unconditional support for Israel. I hate its bogus two-party system and its one-size-fits-all culture.
And DON'T give me the ol' "If you don't like it here then move" statement. Isn't America constantly touted for being "democratic" then if I don't like something about America then I have the right to try and change it.
