Utter monsters that need to be humbled.
They will. But take it from a Brit, most won’t realise it is happening and will simply perform mental gymnastics to assume everyone still respects them and their history. I used to be just like that. I know how nationalists think.
Its why they keep making up shit about other countries, so Americans can point and go “but look at how bad it is in [bad country]” when [bad country] has surpassed them in every metric except military spending.
A claim like “There’s cultural genocide of Uyghurs in Xinjiang” is simply unreal to most Westerners, close to pure gibberish. The words really refer to existing entities and geographies, but Westerners aren’t familiar with them. The actual content of the utterance as it spills out is no more complex or nuanced than “China Bad,” and the elementary mistakes people make when they write out statements of “solidarity” make that much clear. This is not a complaint that these people have not studied China enough — there’s no reason to expect them to study China, and retrospectively I think to some extent it was a mistake to personally have spent so much time trying to teach them. It’s instead an acknowledgment that they are eagerly wielding the accusation like a club, that they are in reality unconcerned with its truth-content, because it serves a social purpose.
What is this social purpose? Westerners want to believe that other places are worse off, exactly how Americans and Canadians perennially flatter themselves by attacking each others’ decaying health-care systems, or how a divorcee might fantasize that their ex-lover’s blooming love-life is secretly miserable. This kind of “crab mentality” is actually a sophisticated coping mechanism suitable for an environment in which no other course of action seems viable. Cognitive dissonance, the kind that eventually spurs one into becoming intolerant of the status quo and into action, is initially unpleasant and scary for everybody. In this way, we can begin to understand the benefit that “victims” of propaganda derive from carelessly “spreading awareness.” Their efforts feed an ambient propaganda haze of controversy and scandal and wariness that suffocates any painful optimism (or jealousy) and ensuing sense of duty one might otherwise feel from a casual glance at the amazing things happening elsewhere. People aren’t “falling” for atrocity propaganda; they’re eagerly seeking it out, like a soothing balm.
tldr; how do you tell if a mayo’s lying? A: its lips are moving
I hope it happens really soon because i’m tired of waiting
A century of humiliation, perhaps.
“gets utterly humiliated” comrade i went to the doctor like 4 times before the age of 18 bc my family was so poor. we’re already there this country sucks

You know the US government are going to be sore losers and take everyone else out with them…
remember everyone, run towards the flash
And we’ll all go together when we go.
The USA for all it’s Christian ideas is literally satanic in like every regard but they
onto AES countries doing the satanism.Hey. Covid had caused people brain and body damage. Like half the government has dementia. The children are illiterate. The army can’t get enough recruits because everyone’s too fat and drugged up on mental meds. Not to sound like a “weak men make hard times” chud, but americans are degrading across the whole spectrum. Surely this will lessen the imperial power of
.the justice that will come to America will be Old Testament justice: agony and terror dealt out by a mad god upon the children and servants of the malefactors
The pain the us should be inflicted upon it should be worse sevenfold than all the pain inflicted upon the global south.
Yeah, that’s fair. Speaking as an American it really does.
