A tiny dose of the US does to everyone else.
Only one of the following conclusions is possible:
1- Either the govt should stop treat you as a muslim "terrorist".
2- Or the USians aren't entitled to see themselves as any different of everyone else.
I'd say the majority of progressive lefties, even US "communists", aren't comfortable to admit the 1st one but are still in a cognitive dissonance to agree with the 2nd one.
