Wow, how much I have adored Michael Moore since my 20s, how much I admire his class based work in the US, and how much he has really missed the boat on this analysis.

We have been teaching American students for 30 years, arguably 60 since the 60s, to loathe their own country because of -yes- genuine aggressions overseas in defense of American standards of living. The hypocrisy (I want all the sugar but none of the salt…).

For me, Trump is hell. I will vote for Harris and her ilk till I die.

But this exhaustive self-critique of polices that any and all hegemons/great powers/weak powers have committed since time began, while the rest of the world steals our ideas, our secrets, our technologies and conspires against us - it has to end.

I'm no flag waver, but if you think our kids haven't been taught enough to hate America, you must be in a basement. They've been taught nothing but our minor sins in the last few decades and yet so little about the sins of the rest of the world - China, Russia, the Ottomans, most Arab or African countries, Latin American dictatorships. You get the point.

Go Hamas Michael!
