      I dont think you could find someone who hates America more than an American

      If your hypothetical American had a button that would sink the entire country to the bottom of the ocean, would they press it without a moment’s hesitation?

      If not, then they do not hate America more than me.

      The people who hate America the most are probably Iraqis with dead children, or American indigenous people kept in poverty.

      I know there are westerners who have a better conception of socialism and are more amenable to international working class efforts. I know a lot of them. I’m from Texas lol. I don’t like it when westerners, like fellow Americans, look down their nose at other countries. Calling a nation fascist because it doesn’t meet your western ideas of what socialist utopia is supposed to be? It’s bizarre to me. It always seems racist.

      Westerners have a strong tendency towards national chauvinism and it’s rare to meet someone more internationally minded unless you go looking for them. You can probably agree with that.

      That is a wild take. People have seen there kids burned to death in an American drone strike. Or had their family executed in front of them by special forces death squads.
