One of the things I like most about the most blind is that they have a way of expressing exactly the core of the issue rather than being too shrewd to hide it. In the following cw post we see this:
Right... people who think the war isn't going well obviously think Bush LIED
BBond, you and people like you will find success in some places -like Europe- but will never gain a foothold here in the US. You see, Americans see themselves as good, decent people... and as long as a major plank in your vitriolic mental spasms includes tearing them down and insulting them continually for not agreeing with you, you'll be properly cast aside like a $2 whore.
The bolded expresses the real issue. Those Americans who have the most trouble seeing our faults and those Americans for whom the ability to admit to faults is the most attenuated, those people, in other words, whose self loathing, hidden from consciousness, is most pronounced, these are the people for whom a false identity in nationalism has become the biggest substitute for real inner self respect. These are the people who never look inside and always look out there. These are the die-hard defenders of Nationalism and their country wherever they live. They fear, unconsciously, that the admission of any fault will unravel the whole false fabric and they will be left naked in the light, ridiculed again as they were as children. It does not matter to them how many must die to protect their image. Anything but that interior living hell and remembering. They are this way because inwardly they were made to feel like a $2 whore and why they suggest you are.
