Brits: how much do you hate Americans

[Urbane Guerrilla]

That Catwoman person annoyed me -- I see she's not visited this thread for over a year. Very purblind sort of creature.

She makes the usual error, too common in the Old World: she doesn't see the importance, nor the value to her personally, of breaking totalitarians by any means necessary, or indeed any means imaginable, if you want to get fanatical about it: by any means imaginable is the warcry of the fanatic. Western Europe certainly likes democracy, but do they fully understand it? They keep getting socialism into the mixture, and they suffer for it. But that's for another thread.

What these people are missing is that with totalitarianism broken and discredited, there's more room for indigenous democracies to grow and to flourish. And what do we see now? -- too damned much reluctance to uproot the weeds of totalitarianism and cast them upon the fires. After the fires, the ash heap.

Admittedly, we puzzle the world, or at least certain swatches of it, yet matters are simple to explain. We Americans understand we are locked in a war, howbeit never so peculiar. We are determinedly prosecuting this war. Some of us could really stand to offer this effort greater support. The ones who aren't doing this generally misbehave as they do because they think a Republican Administration is a greater enemy than a bunch of non-democrats who labor under a fever-dream of a Caliphate, with one of their number as Caliph. Their own words declare them totalitarians, and the actions of their friends condemn them even more. These are the enemy, dammit, not the Republican Party. The unwillingness of certain parties to acknowledge this point calls their wisdom sharply into question, and their determined unwillingness says they are not merely unwise but crazy as well.

Dealing with such obdurate blockheads is very frustrating. If you ain't gung ho, what are you but a dictator-lover? Anybody need to guess if I'm a dictator-lover?

Our self-made, self-declared enemies are enemies pretty much of everything worthwhile in mankind, and all mankind must hasten to hunt and hang all of these verkrampte imbeciles. Certain people, however, display an embarrassing reluctance to do this and excise these cancers. Take this philosophy to heart: if you aren't a representative democracy or an enlightened constitutional monarchy, you ain't shit, and as a corollary you should expect to have your bad political order exterminated and a better one erected in its place.
