We can talk about aspects we hate all day, and probably differ on every one, but those are just aspects, not the whole. Not "America sucks"

if you allow hating particular aspects, what about hating a sufficient percentage such that on the whole your view is negative

What employer or even husband/wife could meet such a perfect ideal? Which, if unmet, would apparently warrant complete hatred?

Maybe this is the source of what we conservatives describe as liberal self-loathing? Can such a person even meet their own ideals?

Never mind their country or employer or close SO, can they even respect themselves?

I said nothing about hating something that fails to live up to an impossible ideal, I said something that is more bad than good

imo whether the US falls into this category is a matter of taste, it seems silly to declare it is indisputably on the whole good

I think the prog social project is insane but am more interested in other alternatives than a fruitless holding pattern
