Fuck America. There, I Said It.
What's the big deal about being anti-American? Being anti-American is actually quite reasonable. When somebody says to you they are anti-America, they aren't saying they hate all Americans, they are saying they hate what America does as a country. And what's not to hate? The most bloody holocaust in the history of the world was the genocide of the American Indian Peoples by invaders. What an opening act; the attempted execution of a race of people on their own land!
Since then America has strutted about on the world stage screaming at us in every film, book, TV series, radio show, internet website, and fart ever to originate from America, that it's the champion of freedom and democracy. You'd nearly believe no-other country was free and democratic. Just America. Oh yeah, and they have this thing called "free speech". Yowzers! I wonder what that is! I mean, please, nearly every fucking country on the face of the planet is free and democratic. So why are we constantly reminded that America is? Could it be because it's actually not? The lady doth protest too much, perhaps?
In addition to feeding us mouthful after mouthful of PR-bullshit, it commits vast foreign policy crimes nobody on the news ever questions. Take this example you may not have heard about: the ever-faithful Brits expelled the natives of the island of Diego Garcia to allow an American military base to move in. To this day, the citizens of Diego Garcia are disallowed from returning because the island is "uninhabitable". Strange then that the military men and women are allowed to inhabit it, eh?
America has been committing crimes like this for decades, if not for centuries, all the while wrapped in the flag and stroking its big fat erection (this is sometimes done in conjunction with eating a Big Mac and saying "like" quite a lot). It has supported tyrants like Saddam Hussein, Maximilliano Hernandez Martinez, Alfredo Cristiani, Fulgencio Batista, and more. It has even over-thrown an elected government or two; it was instrumental in the 1973 coup in Chile which put an end to democracy in that country. Even "Colon" Powell hangs his head in shame at that one. "It is not a part of American history that we're proud of," he said. But there's lots more not to be proud of, "Colon", old buddy, old pal!
Article 6: November 1, 2006
The common denominator is always oil. That forms the basis of most of America's foreign policy decisions: who has a lot of it and how to get their own grubby hands on a slice. If The Land of the "Free" isn't getting a cut, or if the owner starts fucking about with it, his days are numbered. Funny thing is, the American apologists will usually call you a crack-pot conspiracy nut if you suggest oil plays a big role because it sounds very mercenary and not at all rose-scented. "America doesn't care about oil! America only cares about spreading freedom!" You should punch the person who says that to you. They'll know why.
To carry out these foreign policy disasters, they sometimes have to lie. For Iraq, it was the alleged Weapons of Mass Destruction ruse. See, America screams outrage when a country has weapons of mass destruction, forgetting that it has weapons of mass destruction and has even fucking used those weapons of mass destruction, notably to obliterate two entire cities (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) filled with innocent people. The "moral superiority" they like to pretend they have is absolutely discredited when looking at just one modern example: Guantanamo. I'm not so sure that spreading freedom and democracy the world over involves holding people without charge or access to a lawyer, and subjecting them to torture.
The media is full of American apologists who trip over themselves to either defend what America has done or pretend it has never happened. Cock-smokers like those who believe America acts with noble intent and if anything heinous happens, it's a "mistake" or an unintentional "accident" and, oh well, its intentions were good at least. America acts only on its own selfish agenda, and sometimes that agenda might have one positive by-product, and then they'll latch onto that one positive by-product and pretend like that was their goal all along, and what a worthy goal it was, so shut the fuck up! The Project for the New American Century wrote in a 1998 letter to Bill Clinton, encouraging military action in Iraq, to "protect our vital interests in the Gulf". Key words: "vital interest". Any good that may come of an invasion is incidental. (Clinton was far too busy inserting cigars up twats to carry out an invasion of Iraq back then).
So, whenever the next person launches into a tirade of America being the best thing since sliced toast, you just remind them that the United States is the only country to have been found guilty in the World Court for "Illegal Aggression" (state terrorism in other words) for its assault on Nicaragua. It was ordered to pay $5 billion dollars.
Of course, it refused.
