Faultline, Why do we hate us?
That's a better question than why do they hate us?
Tim McVeigh, David Koresh, the mass-murdering Goths of the high schools, Ted Kaczynski, Charles Manson, Tupac, the right-wing anti-government militia, John Walker Linde are all red-blooded Americans who whether you like it or not are products of USA society.
None of them are women. So it's something to do with having a Y chromosome.
It's also to do with male dominance syndrome. The monkey male's desire to be alpha male. The top males of the subtribes take on the bigger tribes.
You might not like it, but Tim McVeigh expressed it best with his selection of Invictus as his epitaph.
It's the battle between the individual and the tribe and the desire to be top monkey. It's in the DNA. The USA likes to be the chest-beating, boastful top monkey. So the smaller but stroppy monkey males have a go.
That's why you hate you.
John Walker Linde rightfully gets attention because he is the living embodiment of the problem. He is you. Tim McVeigh was a USA soldier, of the most red-blooded type, but he blew up Oklahoma.
Who is the captain of your soul?
They is us, but is us me?

PS: Nukes, 747s, 500 metre buildings, anthrax, semtex, sarin, rockets and all that other big bang stuff, loose in a monkey cage is not a good combination. Monkeys should only have sticks and stones to whack each other with. [If sentences are allowed to end like that and please note that's loose, not lose]. |
