America is the home base of global capitalism and the global violence it exports, including both military and economic violence. America is why you see childrens’ deaths livestreamed from Gaza, it is why there is genocide there, and it is why if you try to fight back against that genocide you are put on lists, harassed, and worse. Repeat ad nauseum for virtually every war and mass dispossession. When nations try to free themselves from this, even while maintaining capitalism, they are targeted for vilification and destruction by the US through its myriad apparatises.

For example, Venezuela has been targeted with media vilification, military threats and coups attempts, and broad civilian-targeted sanctions because they nationalized segments of their oil industry to use to fund projects for their people and to diversify their economy. Capitalist relations remained. With the US doing its best to destroy the Venezuelan economy, any failures are highlighted as a failure of “socialism”. With the US doing its best to promote opposition political factions and murder current leadership, efforts to oppose this immediately receive bad faith accusations of dictatorship while unelected opposition figures get to control Venezuela’s foreign reserves. Tens of thousands of Venezuelans die every yeae from this US-impossd regime and it all comes from simply attempting to use one’s own resources to benefit one’s own people rather than serve the balance sheet of bankers in New York.

If you want justice, you must hate America. If you don’t hate America, you make excuses for injustice or even contribute to it, like our ex-military friend in the comments that can’t do any amount of self-criticism over dedicating much of their life to the death and deprivation machine for domination of other peoples.
