    They can’t help themselves but to scapegoat and project every single problem they created onto what they view as “inferior” races and countries.

    Usonians think they’re the arbiter of goodness, the moral standard of the world, after their country just killed a million innocent people in Iraq, and are the main funders of the current genocide in Palestine.

    The only way to explain it is, that they view themselves as superior and civilized, and every other country is wrong, untrustworthy, and scheming. Western supremacy has completely taken over their brains, and it becomes the lens that they view the world through, and their gut reaction to any event.

      Liberal democracy’s portrayal as the sole legitimate form of governance amounts to nothing more than modern-day marketing for colonialism, serving as a pretext for Western invasions and global atrocities masquerading as benevolent civilizing missions. Nothing really changed since the early days of colonialism, it’s just different window dressing for the masses.
