Told you, one cannot separate the people of the US from their government. They had over two centuries of living and thriving under the system that is called capitalism, destroy it and you destroy their entire worldview.

They are users, they are enablers, they are apologists, they are supporters of said system.

Victims? Their forefathers were, having just gained independence from Britain and then forced to be under capitalist rule. But them nowadays? Nope, just part of the supporters.

That’s why “hate the US government, not the people” is condescending and patronizing. The people ARE the US government, those who are not are either in prison or destitute, doing their best to be anti-US. You guys are seeing protests, riots and stampedes in the cities, now just imagine that in every state. Wouldn’t they be able to overthrow their overlords then? Why don’t they?

It’s because they don’t want to.

It’s because overthrowing the system means they won’t be using the system they spent their whole lives studying and using for their own benefit anymore and now they will be needing to study a new system; groping in the dark as noobs when they were veterans under capitalist rule. That’s why they support, and won’t be parting with the system.

I hate the US government for spreading their flawed system out in the world. If that means hating the enablers, the US people, then so be it. One cannot hate Satan without hating Satan’s demons. If you say you’re Anti-Nazi, hate Hitler but don’t hate the Nazi soldiers (up to the rank-and-file) who enabled Hitler’s rise and supported his rule, then you’re fucking stupid.

If anyone sees this and deem me a barbaric Westerner, be informed: I am American, live in America, my father’s ancestors were French-Canadian, I myself bear a European surname.

With all that said, even with all my connections to American ancestry, I still say:

FUCK THE US!!!
