I was obviously overgeneralising on the "brainwashed" part, but there still is
some truth to that statement.
Read my words here carefully. I said "To a large proportion of the world's
population, the United States of America _IS_ a monster." I didn't say that _I_
believe in that statement. However, millions of people worldwide do believe it.
There are plenty of rational (for them) reasons to do so, and I have covered a
few of these in other posts in this thread.
