I don't feel there should be a thing called the United States of America, but that doesn't mean I oppose the 300 million inhabitants of this artificial land division, or the land itself; just the tiny elite in charge who tell everybody else what to do. I'd celebrate if the president were assassinated, I'd burn an American flag in a second, and I'd love to see the time when the United States is nothing more than an interesting chapter in history books, but the minute you attack the innocent Americans themselves (or members of any nationality for that matter) you become my enemy.
Patriotism is stupid. Being proud of having been born in America makes just as much sense as being proud of having been born white.
