America’s Open Wound
A bit hypocritical of Snowden to criticize the USA while holed up in Russia. But maybe I'm a bit partial considering the USSR destroyed every semblance of culture and national identity in my home country, causing generations of corruption and trauma, and ultimately emboldening my family to move to the States--abandoning lifelong friends and family--where a much better life was possible.But please, keep lecturing us on how the US is "problematic." It's highly indicative that someone hasn't lived even a remotely hard life (nor traveled extensively, at least not without a US passport) when their criticism of the US is so paper thin. We get it: US imperialism bad, CIA evil, etc. But boy am I happy (not to mention proud) to be an American.
