I've noticed this with a fair few 'online leftists' from the US. The hatred of their own state seems to override everything.there's the disgust and demonstration of disgust with 'american foreign policy'.
it's basically an extrapolation of their own feelings about the US isn't it. I mean it's fair enough, it is an emotionally / affectively speaking weird place to be i reckon. but ultimately it's not about the 'middle east' itself. at least not at an emotional level.I've noticed this with a fair few 'online leftists' from the US.

The idea that America's uniquely evil.
