Yeah. That's kind of America's whole thing. Making money. Exploiting everything. Americans are the Ferengi.

Defending America = defending capitalism = doing whatever they can to make American, capitalist companies more profitable.

I don't hate capitalism. Don't get me wrong, but I generally don't like capitalists.

    Capitalists are what makes capitalism capitalism. How can you hate one without the other?

    The same way I don't hate Christianity but most Christians drive me up a wall.

    The concepts can be good, valid and even the best option in some cases, but the way it's weilded can be dramatically different based on the person wielding it.

    You are comparing apples and oranges with your explanation.

    Religion and belief are two separate things.

    Christians drive you up a wall because of their beliefs not because of their religion.

    This is not the same as hating capitalists but not capitalism.
