>Do you actually believe America is a fascist country?

If it were we wouldn't be having this conversation. But likewise, I don't think it's the greatest country on earth either (nor can I think of any way such a concept would be meaningful really). To me, it is simply a first world county; it has its good points and its bad points. There are a lot of scary things happening in the western world right now and many of them are spearheaded by the US.

>Also do you have a link to the pg article?

Sure. http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html

Thank you

1) For admitting, if reluctantly, that America is not fascist.

2) The link

I did not claim we were the greatest country, whatever that means, but I can't fathom the 'America is the worst thing since AIDS' attitude on HN. In the next breath they complain its hard to get here.
