Why hate America
I wanted to talk about this because it's question that many people asked me in the last weeks. More precisely why do i think people hate America. Have my theory, of course. And it's only mine in the sense that i am responsible for my own words, not anyone else. I also must say that i don't like this kind of generalizations i am going to make. I don't take individuals by these notions, only the nation's average.
I believe that America is suffering from many problems, a schizophrenic culture, a power culture, a messianic culture and a lack of culture.
Let's start from the last. American's have a very small history, only a couple of centuries. They are young and they also have a very small recollection of their own past. They forgot where they came from, why they are there and what they did to those that where there before them, the true inhabitants of the country. They also forget what they have done to themselves in the years of their history. I am talking about civil war, mass murder, no respect for social minorities, racism. Then we can add testing radiation in unsuspected people, much like Nazis in concentration camps. The lack of respect for human life. The only country that actually used atom bombs, because they wanted a more spectacular show against Japan, and they did it twice. I could go on more, but i guess i get the point.
They are also so self centered that they even don't know the history and culture of others. They wheren't the first democracy, they haven't still eradicated death penalty. They have the biggest murder rate in the world, with death rates only compared to those countries in civil war, and don't recognise that as wrong. They think their democracy is better, but they even elected a President with less votes that the opponent. They wheren't the first to abandon slavery. They even had to fight a war because of that not so long ago. They had segregation until the 60's. And that from a plural and open society. That's a joke right.
They can also claim that they are a work in progress. Well, what progress? The one shown in the freedom to teach wrong and stupid theories about dinosaurs and men living together? That's progress? I call it regression to Inquisition times. And what culture? Hollywood? Give me a break. Almost all great American writers had to get out of there to be great.
Then this country, or better, these group of countries lead by a President, The President, as they call him, is convinced that their way is the best way. American way must be preached to the world, it's the new revelation. That's also a progress, really. Again we never saw anything like that since the Inquisition.
Then the power culture. If we can't be smart about it let's just be stronger and bigger. The result, they stopped being smart and now they just think they are stronger and bigger and can do all they want. The bully factor. It's like in WWII, because Germans U-boats sunk X ships a day they just had to make X+Y to win the war. They just didn't even stopped to think about the people, Americans, they where going to get killed. And we should be grateful for their sacrifice. I will never be grateful for the stupidity of others. The land of the brave and free just slaughtered their own because they didn't wanted to think better. They just wanted to be stronger and meaner.
Now the schizophrenic part of it. They are from many creeds and backgrounds, they all are free to say what they want about anything they want, but is that same society that made us live with Echelon, and satellites that spy on us 24/7. I don't want that freedom. They justify that on the account of 9/11 and those unfortunate incidents. That those things never happen again. I really mean that, but i must add anywhere. Even in Iraque. The land of freedom has a government that made Guantanamo and issued instructions on torture. We are back to Inquisition times.
So, i ask where is the progress promised? Why should we trust a country that as 400 years of catching up, of learning the respect, the true respect of others. Why must we consider ourselves lucky to have as friends, sometimes forced friends, that are so uncivilised that didn't even learned with the history of others?
So, why shouldn't we hate the stupidity and lack of culture of America? Why must we love segregation, torture, war and murder? Why must we like to be lead by a country that shows no respect what so ever for the Earth we live in? They didn't signed Kyoto!!!!
Can i love America? Of course not.
