«¿Cuántas naciones ha bombardeado USA desde 2001?» (Infografía: Al Jazeera)
Spoken like a true non American.
Being critical (full breadth of the word, it is not necessarily a negative thing) of your own country is a big part of what makes a patriot.
The right misunderstands this concept, and I believe it’s because their ideology largely consists of grievances they’ve been led to believe are due to the faults of everyone else, particularly those they deem lower on the ladder than themselves.
The left does not offer critique as a slight, to confuse others in an attempt to offend, and certainly does not place blame for the problems of everyone else on everyday people but instead on where it comes from, and that is those that hold the power. This is not smug, this is not evasion, this is not easy pickings. This is seeing the problem for what it is and understanding that it affects us all. This is knowing we can and absolutely need to do better, and knowing that the chance to do so is fading as we sit here numb, dumb, and blind to it.
We do not all share that value. And many of us do not want our government bombing anybody.
Then why do you keep voting for the same two parties?
