You know who else thought his hatred was justified? Adolph Hitler.

Having arbitrary litmus tests that only exist to validate your own paradigm is my litmus test.

Hating where you're from and everything around you is a pretty good litmus test for girls going through puberty

Imagine thinking that where you live is defined by what they put in the marketing pamphlet to attract tourists.

I hate where I live too but such litmus tests are for people who can't think for themselves.

My point is that you're knee deep in communist propaganda yourself. Propaganda isn't limited to a state promoting itself.

And hating where you're from is a rite of passage for teens. Once you become an adult, if you can't figure that it's worse to live in China than in the united states then you should extradited there to teach you a lesson.

No **** the cheerleader marketing is stupid. Defining where you live by them is becoming a cheerleader yourself.

I do it for valid reasons, not to fulfill some dumbass litmus test. I'd love to live in Yosemite again and I'm sure there're plenty of spots that I'd be happy with.

The fact that you tried to defend the great leap forward, that you questioned whether the industrial revolution and the changes in our quality of life were really linked to capitalism... Etc

The Communist manifesto. That is communist propaganda in the most straight forward use of the word.
