I don’t quite understand how there are people that ever thought the U.S. was good. How could anyone look at their zealotous imperial superiority masturbation and not just be struck with revulsion is beyond me. It’s like the west collectively drank their kool aid and is only now slowly, and tentatively starting to wake up to how fucking insane that country is.
I’m 100% certain that they could invade and occupy Greenland and the rest of Europe would still be like “yeah but like… they’re the good guys?”
Interestingly the US is the least kool aid drinking of Western nations when it comes to managing ‘great power’ realpolitik. Its unabashedly imperialistic with carefully constructed domestic propaganda. It effectively convinces its subjects of its (false) moral legitimacy, generally speaking.
Europe is the most kool aid drunk at the moment. Stagnation, impending demographic collapse and vastly overestimating their standing on the global stage. Trumps crass handling of relations with Europe has been a wake up call there to say the least. Alexander Stubb’s (president of Finland) speech at the G20 was hopefully heard by and reflected on by EU leaders. Most of the world perceives Europe as having lost its strategic autonomy to the US, mainly though complacency.
Yeah, during WW2, that’s not news to anybody
It was mostly other imperialist countries and their vassal states, why wouldn’t they accept another of their own?
I’m talking more on an individual basis. Countries I get.
Nationalism then. People love to feel important or like they’re part of something, even if they put no actual effort towards that end. Just identify with the place you happened to be born and convince yourself its victories are your own.
