... no. Okay just. Here's some good links for you to get started with.
That's a part of what I meant. It's all within the projection umbrella I was talking about.
No. War crimes. Read a book.
You say that like I didn't just imply I was agreeing with you.
There is no 'projection'. America went out in to the rest of the world, tortured, killed, murdered people and broke entire countries for americas gains. People hate america for the actions it took against them.
you need to understand that it's not some twisted form of jealously or annoyance and that america did serious evils in the world that people hate it for.
And that's not America projecting itself? I'm a Pacific Islander, I could tell you a whole lot about what America has done. It wants itself everywhere. That's projection if I've ever seen it.
no, that's not projection. that's American Imperialism. And very very very very very different than what you originally described.
You don't speak for what I meant by my words. I was trying to say it in a broad way. Conquest of any form is a kind of exposure/projection.
Generally when the us is hated it is intruding against democratic forces
That's what I said.
