The US regime never ceases to amaze me.
Projection of power at all levels in the lives of ordinary people, from privacy to education.
I'm completely dumbfounded that they consider themselves protectors of freedom, how such cognitive dissonance runs rampant within the US is beyond me.

- pliny 13y agoIf someone is 'the protector of freedom' and if 'the protector of freedom' is someone that doesn't boycott Syria, then that leaves Japan, South Korea, Australia and countries who's government don't make decisions based upon enlightenment values.

If I were you, I'd question myself why I create strawmen, am I interested in the truth, or am I guided by misplaced nationalism?
- acqq 13y agoFor EU, the amount of trade is reduced, it's not actually "banned." I also don't see that having an internet site with free access can be interpreted as "trade" in EU.
- baddox 13y agoCognitive dissonance isn't much of a problem. The problem is lack of education. You have to know about the ridiculous things the US does in order to experience cognitive dissonance.
- c7b0rg 13y agoI don't know about it, by personal experience I think americans have good education. I'd hazard to say that the median american experiences a media echo chamber. That's not special, all countries I lived in do that. But they usually don't delve too deep in doublespeak.
- Grue3 13y agoAre you even serious? "US regime" not allowing somebody to access a website? Talk about a first world problem. I don't see you complaining about Cuban, Iranian, etc regimes who forced these sanctions in the first place.
