In principal, I appreciate the argument that one shouldn't have to advertise ones beliefs to escape prejudice; at the same time, in the real world, if you're stupid enough to walk through a dangerous part of town late at night with hundred dollar bills hanging conspicuously from your pockets, how many of us are really doing to be terribly sympathetic when you predictably get mugged?

The US at present is a global force for evil; citizens of other countries are entirely within their rights to question our actions, and, thanks to our having elected the same bunch of fascists into office for a second term of global terrorism, the priorities of our voters. If one does not wish to be tarred with the same brush quite reasonably applied to the majority of American voters, it's very much in ones best interests to publicly distance oneself from that majority.
