OT re: Why, I don't know
Let's say it's the year 2100. China is the sole Superpower, and dominates the world (militarily, politically, economically, culturally). Let's say the U.S. is one of 50 countries that are Chinese client states. A terrorist group of fundamentalist Christians, based in Canada, attacks a Chinese City. The Chinese start moving in large numbers of troops and weapons into the U.S. Their military is bigger than ours, by a factor of 100 to 1. The Chinese announce (without even bothering to ask our permission) that U.S. military bases will be taken over by the Chinese, and used to launch attacks on Canada.
Let's say, in addition, that you feel that your culture is under siege, and has been for your entire life. Your religion, your language, your family relationships, all your core cultural values, you have watched for decades as they are slowly eroded and replaced, in your own homeland, by profoundly foreign values.
How would you feel about that? |
