>>>If you're American and leftist (I mean, left from what's called left here), or Polish but not Catholic, or colonial but gone native, or Jewish but disagreeing with policy of Israel, or Palestinian but agreeing with the Israeli neighbors, or were a communist between the 1920s and 1950s but disagreed with Stalin, you're black sheep as well, there's nothing new. Intolerance makes politics. It's also a way to keep the ideas from being diluted.

>>>BTW, what would you do if you were Spartacus, and found a fellow slave who'd say "master is good"?
>>
>>I don't know. If I were living in his time I'd probably do what he did. But I don't, so the answer is it depends on the master.
>>But come on Dragan, You can't be telling me that you feel like a slave living here.

>You can't seriously think I assumed you really were an American leftist, can you? Can't you recognize an example?

I'm a bit obtuse... You mean Spartacus was a leftist?

>>I refuse to use that word in today's context in current day USA. Your good, but there is no way you can convince me that any of us are slaves in the country.

>Nope, I just took it to another extreme of the "us vs them" line. Coming closer to the middle of it, there is still a lot of animosity left among the oppressed towards the oppressors - hey, they wouldn't be in those roles if they were big friends - and much more animosity for their own who are on the oppressor's side. That attitude, that taking the side of the enemy, is perceived as treason in many cultures and subcultures.

>It can be anyone taking a legalistic stance in 1775, anyone in USA finding good sides of USSR during the cold war, anyone in USSR finding good sides of USA during the cold war, anyone in SFRY finding more good sides of USSR or USA than of his own country during the cold war, any Albanian on Kosovo and Metohija who speaks Serbian in public... all the way to your neighbor who is a fan of a club from another city and not of the local great club whose fan everyone else is. Anyone who steps out of the line can be perceived as a traitor. We're only discussing degrees.

I just try to look at the entire body of work. The net effect of a society.
I guess you're implying that there is some good in everyone, if so I guess you're right. Even Hitler had to have some good in him. He seem to love animals. But for his body of work I give him an "F-".
