Noam Chomsky was once asked what he thought of the concept of “anti-americanism” and he immediately said it wasn’t real and then compared America to the USSR and Nazi Germany, because apparently all foreign counterparts to anti-americanism have existed only in military or totalitarian dictatorships.

The mere fact that anti-americanism exists as a concept indicates that the American people have “deeply rooted totalitarian instincts” and associate all criticism of American state policy with criticism of the American people, culture and society itself. Apparently, there is no criticism directly of the American people, culture, or society, it is all about state policy alone.

Turn it around and Americans criticize anything else and the others defend, that's freedom. /s
