Red meat quote:
Among many reasons, I hate America for the near-extermination and
subsequent oppression of its indigenous population. I hate it for its
role in the African slave trade and for dropping atomic bombs on
civilians. I hate its control of institutions like the United
Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade
Organization. I hate it for propping up brutal dictators like
Suharto, Pinochet, Duvalier, Hussein, Marcos, and the Shah of Iran. I
hate America for its unconditional support for Israel. I hate its
bogus two-party system, its one-size-fits-all culture, and its income
gap. I could go on for pages but I'll sum up with this: I hate
America for being a hypocritical white supremacist capitalist
patriarchy.
