Hate Patriotic Differences

More From Ryszard Kapuscinski

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. i hate the way you drive my car. i hate it when you stare. i hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. i hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. i hate it, i hate the way you're always right. i hate it when you lie. i hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. i hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you. not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

In the russian experience, although the russian state is oppressive, it is their state, it is part of their fabric, and so the relation between russian citizens and their state is complicated.

I catch as much hell from the hard-core conservative people as i do the far left. the only difference is that the far right don't bring the hate to the table that the far left does. and that's my party. they just deal in so much hate. i mean the far left, not the democrats, the far left really deal in hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.

If i have one message to give to the secular american people, it's that the world is not divided into countries. the world is not divided between east and west. you are american, i am iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. the difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. and the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. and our governments are very much the same.

The left's propulsion is hate, and they have to have an outlet for the hate. they hate so much. they hate many elements of america. they hate people that don't think the way they do. it's not just that they disagree, they hate, and this energy requires action. people on the right, they don't hate anybody. we want everybody to get along, when you get right down to it. we're rodney king types, actually.

The attitude of the west and of russia towards a crisis like ukraine is diametrically different. the west is trying to establish the legality of any established border. for russia, ukraine is part of the russian patrimony. a russian state was created around kiev about 1,200 years ago. ukraine itself has been part of russia for 500 years, and i would say most russians consider it part of russian patrimony. the ideal solution would be to have a ukraine like finland or austria that can be a bridge between these two rather than an outpost.
