A socialist, in democratic, capitalistic, western countries, is a person who was, more often than not, raised in a white, middle class
family and adopts a socialistic political world view to vent the guilt felt by such an upbringing. This cathartic measure is a form of psychological flagellation and an attempt to identify with poorer
people and countries. The socialist realizes that the hand they were dealt was not contingent on there being "special" but
lucky.
The socialist then projects their insecurity's on the great father figure - the
USA. In doing so they concentrate there hatred of America by villainizing and inventing "facts" and "events" while ignoring
real problems
outside of there scope of focus, revealing there motives to be far from objective.
The socialist will spend endless time, money and effort protesting tedious trivialities about the
USA, such as trade laws or political meetings, and conveniently ignore tragedies occurring as they protest, such as massacres in
Africa promoted by Muslims and Despots, or vicious sectarian rivalries across the Middle East. The socialist ignores these nasty facts about the world because they were not, in some way, connected to the
USA.
The lack of any
real connection to their “pet issues” and the
USA does not always stop their wonderfully specious logic from drawing a connection. This also extends their putting a spin on historical events, or a complete revision of
history itself. A good example of the above is the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, now, it appears, that this was an act of terrorism and imperialism, rather than an ugly act of a very ugly war.
