My point is it doesn't matter if you think you're consistent. The alliance you live under, that necessitates everyone else having intelligence bureaus, will never fail to gasp and clutch pearls about it (they're literally doing it in the thread next door, right now); and then here you come, acting like your smug, enlightened individualism in the face of so much ignorant Western crybullying by our collective governments changes things a jot. And while we're here, honestly, I don't give a shit who's 'good at capitalism'; I believe in the end of that blight of a system. The point of that is to illustrate why I don't believe you when you say you're not a yank.
