Yeah, I don't mind disagreeing with people but the sheer reality tunnel they're in is horrible.

Every ideology has its edgelords but the average user seems completely in denial that reasonable, thoughtful, and compassionate people might disagree on whether the USA behaves as it presents itself. It's not fucking normal or good to have highly militarised cops, people carrying war machines in the street, army bases in every second country, be constantly at war, make kids swear allegance to the flag etc. The only way they know how to engage with the flaws of their country is to say 'X is something I'd expect in $currentenemynation'.
