[Bl.] Whether Hermit has a hatred of America, and whether, if so, this
hatred is pathological or not, I cannot say. What I can say is that it
is equally possible, based on the evidence before us, that he is a
fervent patriot. It depends on your point of view.
When the British invaded China in the 18th Century they found maps in
which China occupied the almost whole of the document; peeping in at the
corners of these maps were tiny representations of what were
characterized as 'Barbarian' nations - Britain, France and the USA. It
was clear that the Chinese world view allocated no importance to
anything other than China.
Ironically, if one reads the Hermits list of broken American promises
and treaties, it is difficult to conclude that the American world-view
is any less solipsistic than the Chinese maps of yore.
It is almost risible that such a self-avowedly 'democratic' nation
should hold the community of nations in such manifest contempt. Almost.
