Duh, I prefer ten times the freedom I have in my country than the freedom you think you have in yours. The U.S. is a fascist state. You have no
freedom. Your vote vote doesn't count, your voice is not heard, you have lost control over your elites.
and it seems many people want to destroy what America stands for because they think we are too powerful.
No, they want to destroy you because of the arrogant and imperialist foreign policy your country is following.
They also feel the U.S. do not respect other cultures and wants to impose its own to the world. Everyone love hollywood movies and eating burgers, but
everyone hates when Americans seems to know nothing about your culture.
It's a one way exchange. The U.S. lead, but they don't learn. Americans IGNORE the rest of the world. And that is EXTREMELY frustrating for it.
Don't get me wrong, I love the U.S. (another sign of the arogance in my opinion is that you always called your country America, like there is no
other culture or country on the whole American continents ; North, Central and South. I prefer to say the U.S.A.), I love the people there and I love
the country. But I cannot blame some extremists when they spread hate about America because I understand them. I would do the same. The U.S. are
harvesting what has been seeded for decades.
And don't think than Belgians or Europeans are perfects too. We have to cope everyday with what we did during the colonization of the world. Belgium
and Congo for exemple always had a love/hate relationship. We just try to make things better, with their consent and by respecing them (but it is not
easy I agree).
