Love for "America" the country is a lot different than love for it's government, institutions, and corporations - often the two are at odds. Your most recent comment, shilling for Palantir, is not an expression of love for America the country - in my ungenerous view, it's uncritical, blind, misplaced patriotism. Being critical of large organizations with too much power over the American people is not "hating America". Seems you have trouble seeing the difference. I don't hate America, but I might hate the America you hope to achieve by placing your support behind corporate behemoths.
Beyond that, "HN" isn't one set of view points. Hell, look at this comment thread, there's clearly an anti vs. pro-Israel divide. Many other such divides exist.
This is a cautionary not to not let your thinking become so stratified and black/white.
