Hating the U.S.
Bravo Blue ^ | 24 Aug 2024 | Johyn Lucas

I understand people who hate the United States – some of them, anyway. Well over 50 years ago, I interacted regularly with people who probably hated the United States. I did not hate them. I did not despise them. For the most part, I had no personal animosity toward them. They were North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers who were doing their duty, as we did, ours, brutal as it was on both sides.

So, I understand enemies who hate America, even though I disagree with them and have engaged in mortal combat with them.

But Americans who hate America are in a different category altogether. By an accident of birth, they have had the great luck to live in a great country that has delivered more people from poverty, provided more humanitarian aid to the less fortunate, and that has created more wealth for the common man than any country in history. Yet, oblivious to their good fortunate, they repay America and its citizens with undisguised hatred. Their hatred manifests itself in many different ways. I shall confine myself to two examples.

From Kosovo to COVID, the failure of General Public to recognize and dispose of the Deep State long ago is at root. We were set up, and have witlessly forged our own chains.

To some degree, retribution might seem due.

There is time to save it, but not for long.

The US is the freest, most prosperous country this world has ever know with the greatest opportunities available to anyone who is willing to work for it.

What a privilege to live here. And to hate it and spit on it is unfathomable.

And yet those hypocrites won’t leave but prefer to stay and enjoy the benefits of the very place they hate.

Indoctrinated and delusional or being paid handsomely to engage in these dangerous, destructive and beyond idiotic behaviors.
Promises of power, wealth and position.
Of which they will never see.

This author takes a gratuitous swipe at fraternities, which is wrong and ignorant.

Surmises that the weightlifting white boy with the charcoal starter is a "member of a fraternity".

But based on dozens of similar incidents, he's more likely a Fed.

Mil-spec hair, sticking out like a sore thumb, being provocative.

Yeah that's the ticket, an agent provocateur.

People in fraternities are more likely deplorable MAGA heads. You can dislike them for other reasons but not for being pali-butt-kissing riotous traitors like this guy pretends to be.

Indeed. It's very simple right?!
