I'm neither right nor left and maintain that both camps are equally deluded. I don't hate the US - I want the US to succeed! Very much so!
But it's not going to succeed by telling Americans that all is fine and they are doing a great job not considering the mess that they create in the world (since decades). I am obviously upset about the US but it's not out of hate but because of disappointment. They have always acted like a role model for how "freedom and individuality" is the corner stone of a happy society - some might say they "pressed their liberal views onto the world". I am very much bought into that ideology so it stinks and hurts even more so when I get to watch their actual hypocrisy play out as it does right now. It's like being in a relationship with a toxic souse that says one thing and makes you believe in the overall message and then stabs you in the back.
I like watching Friends, How I met your mother, and other US cultural things and feel a stronger bond to their culture than to my own home country (which whatever they produce now is an poor American knock-off). So calling me an American hating fascist or right-winger is a bit too quick I think.
Stop killing Muslims, and stop putting your poor and minorities into prisons, educate your stupid and give them health insurance, and we'll be best friends again. Hopefully then _together_ (!) we can tackle real problems such as climate change. Sounds a lot more rewarding than going for war to make a few puppet masters richer.
I'm not sure why you keep calling me names and suggesting that I'm a white nationalist. I've married somebody of not my color from the other side of the world, lived among their culture, my kids are mixed, I he lived in different countries ever since I was old enough to leave the country. I hang out with refugee and volunteer for the homeless.
If you misread me this much then I can only assume you're quite isolated in your own bubble and I can only imagine how you behave towards those not sharing your views (neighbours, friends, colleagues, family). Pretty obvious display of how the West is like right now. Scary really.
I suggest you travel the world a little but not by just making pictures but totally remove yourself from all the media exposure and political talk. It has helped me a great deal. Also I suggest reading some Chris Hedges or maybe listening to Noam Chomski?
