If your hypothetical American had a button that would sink the entire country to the bottom of the ocean, would they press it without a moment's hesitation?
If not, then they do not hate America more than me.
If everything suddenly started sinking into the ocean I would immediately understand and be fine with it
👏 give 👏 tankiedesantski 👏 the 👏 button 👏
If I was the hypothetical American I'd do it
The people who hate America the most are probably Iraqis with dead children, or American indigenous people kept in poverty.
I know there are westerners who have a better conception of socialism and are more amenable to international working class efforts. I know a lot of them. I'm from Texas lol. I don't like it when westerners, like fellow Americans, look down their nose at other countries. Calling a nation fascist because it doesn't meet your western ideas of what socialist utopia is supposed to be? It's bizarre to me. It always seems racist.
Westerners have a strong tendency towards national chauvinism and it's rare to meet someone more internationally minded unless you go looking for them. You can probably agree with that.
I bet the people who had their families killed by American death squads probably hate the country more.
That is a wild take. People have seen there kids burned to death in an American drone strike. Or had their family executed in front of them by special forces death squads.
