That has been happening since forever; it's just that the NSA stuff has made that fact visible to people who didn't see America's hypocrisy before.
I mean, there are people who actually believe this ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6HOcLWP-Ls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6HOcLWP-Ls
- javert 13y agoI don't want to take the time to watch that video, but I actually do think that 99% of hatred of America historically has been due to the moral inferiority of the haters. For example, fundamentalist Islamists, and all those who wish to sympathize with them, are "right" to hate America. Socialists are right to hate America--the American constitution fundamentally stands for the opposite moral code, and American prosperity is evidence that the American morality is the right one. That said, the GOP is opposed to that very morality, and the Democrat party even more-so, so the country is being rapidly destroyed from the inside (and has been on that path for almost 100 years, just accelerating or decelerating occasionally).
- marcosdumay 13y agoNope. The reason some people hate the US is because the country interferes (up to the point of overthrowing governments) with the entire world. Yeah, it can be argued that there is some kind of problem with people more prone to hating than to actually dealing with the problem. But there is no excuse to think the reason that they target the US any other than them destroying their country.
