Thread: An alternative view of the USA & some other countries

Don't be silly Croc! And any brainwashing you recieved in the USSR seems to have been reversed, to the exact opposite, so it can't have been very good!

Why should I be brainwashed? There was some mildly socialist stuff going on when I was a kid, but nothing compared to the USSR for example.
If they didn't get to you, then they surely didn't get to me! Some of that socialist stuff was pretty darn irritating, come to think about it.
It puts you OFF, if anything.

And note: I have no issue with Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan etc... They don't do any of the aggressive things that the USA do!

Plus, like I said, I really like American people (just a shame they are so brainwashed!!)

Ok, so re-phrasing what Ramil likes to say about the democracy and freedom, at least I realize I am brainwashed too. And since you don't, that makes you much more severely brainwashed.

Because, the only way you can't be brainwashed is when you start judging using your own experience. Then you would be subjective, but not brainwashed. As of now, you just repeat what other people say with the logical stresses that other people make. Sometimes, you have admitted a couple of times, you can't even repeat the logic of the other people, only remembering they were convincing.

Ok, so let's go back to our example with the USA. You mentioned [with heat] a couple of times you hate the US's military bases all across Europe. What have those bases ever done to you [as a kid]? Were the military personnel used to destroy your sand box with their military boots?

That's just because you were brainwashed differently. For example, N. Korea & China perceive Japan as an aggressor. Also, do you know that Russia is still formally at war with Japan over the islands? The military actions could technically resume at any moment.

I'm pretty sure American people would gladly accept your highly intellectual and unbiased pity.
