Our country faces problems with industrial espionage and international politics in general, and those are the hidden fronts of the culture wars.
We often perceive of the culture wars as disagreements over God, guns, and gays that have hardly any direct influence on the country's foreign policy.
Patriotism in its pure form is an intuitive inclination to side with one's own country - not because one feels hatred towards the foreign, but because we have an emotional attachment to the place that shaped our identity.
If this act were limited to the radical fringe groups that exist in every country it would be a minor problem, but we see at least tacit approval of such actions by some of the most powerful players in U.S. culture.
The problem goes further than that: it will not be easy for Western intelligence services to recruit human intelligence if that would mean to work for the world's most evil country.
Most of those who turn against their country as a sign of virtue probably believe that this is an easy way to ingratiate themselves with the dominant culture.
The question is how long such a country can survive.
