are you calling me a fascist right? 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

are you calling me a fascist right?
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.

It's shocking for a dirty-nosed European whose radical white nationalists spew all manner of hatred and engage in right wing terror attacks to point the finger at America. Clean your own white nationalist problems because the re-rise of what happened in the 1930's is occurring on your shores too. Because of America's separation by oceans, not many Muslims can migrate here or attack us, so our #1 terrorists by attacks and deaths are radical white nationalists. When it comes to mistreatment of Muslims migrants, Europeans and their seemingly openly pro-neo-nazi far-right parties are so incredibly much better at it. The shit I hear from Euro skinhead politicians is utterly shocking and would never be spoken in America. 2. Treatment of minorities is an interesting subject, how are Roma treated in Europe? How are Muslims migrants treated in Europe? How are the giant Muslim camps that European countries operate? There is so much radical bigotry coming from far right Europeans on the subject after all. 3. Your red herrings about muslims and minorities has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with your support for fascist dictatorships and their attacks on the West, like Russia, and their network of "unaffiliated" controlled organizations like Wikileaks. If you support Wikileaks, which is a functionally a branch of Russian military intelligence, then how can you not support the Russian military operations that Wikileaks supports like the Gerasimov Doctrine re: destruction of liberal Europe and America? Pretty shocking reply from you to descend into babbling about minorities when I'm talking about the Cold War between the liberal west and the authoritarian east restarting. How about you figure out which nations are LITERALLY ATTACKING YOU TO DESTROY YOUR WAY OF LIFE, eh?
- DyslexicAtheist 8y agoI'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?
