And the fact that we are allowing Israel to do the very same thing today (with less bloodshed) fills me with complete revulsion.


OK so then why the pinpoint hatred on the United States? Why not hate on Spain, England, Portugal, The Netherlands, Germany, etc? Why no hate for China? If you were truly following what you say you're following then you'd hate on everybody and not just the US and Israel.

Why not hate on ancient Empires too? Stupid Egyptians, why the fuck would you use manual labor to build the pyramids? I mean HELLOOOOO machines can do those things better than people you rubes!....do you now see the flaw in your logic?
Lyle, my issues are with corporate and political elites. It has nothing to do with the American citizens of today. I have no issues with you Americans, but will for sure point out corruption in those elites and just yesterday added the fact that commiting genocide against native Indians wasn't a very nice thing to do. You and Amat didn't do that, so don't take it like I am condemning you personally. I am not.

For sure each of those countries has their own twisted and bitter history and I'm against all that too. But the influence of those countries is long gone and not really in the news for current discussion. America is the global power in the world today and wields that power in a very twisted way. I am very much against that. If America was doing good things for the world and its own citizenry then there wouldn't really be much to rail against. And actually I did start a thread about a year ago railing against China. And for sure I have said many negative things about Korea and the UK over the years. Israel is another one of my annoyances too. In fact if you were to have a chat with me, you would realise I talk quite a lot about the things I read in books and the media. I have an interest in current affairs and America tends to be part of that.

So again I don't think my logic is particularly flawed.
