Yea, I'm so disconnected because I'm not a blind flag waving patriot that thinks my country can do no wrong, and doesn't conform to the views the majority of the sheeple hold. Right. 
I have no qualms about being a Marxist in America (or anywhere for that matter), for I know most people, have a distorted, propaganda-indoctrinated view of what Marxism really is, and what kind of people Marxists are. I'm a free thinker and I don't buy into all the egocentric reactionary mentality this country, and others, promotes: jingoism and xenophobia, racism, apathy, misogyny and sexism, hatred of gays, fundamentalism, fighting terrorism with more terrorism, and the complete austerity and disregard capitalism has for humanity for the sake of maximizing profits. To be a Marxist is to simply be a lover of humanity, and to be a disbeliever and skeptic of economic, as well as socially constructed divisions in our society and the status quo in general. Now, if people want to hate me for that, it is they, not I, who has the problem. They are most likely pretty shallow anyways. I don't really give a damn regardless. I could be the last Marxist on earth, and I still wouldn't change my views. I would rather be in the smallest of minorities in the world and be able to be a free thinker, than hold the majority opinion but be a complete tool for the system and take everything that is fed to me (just because the masses say this is how it is). Whatever. To each his own I guess.

"Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of conditions of your bourgeois production and bourgeois property, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your class, made into law for all, a will whose essential character and direction are determined by the economic conditions of the existence of your class." - Marx (addressing the bourgeois)
