As the red sails article goes: they kind of do believe their own lies. Western chuds are not innocent dupes, but are chuds out a sense of loyalty. They go along with the lie even if they know it’s a lie, because they see themselves as simply acting on their interests as a white person.

Look at how enthusiastic white people are to accept a worse lot in life if it means non-whites get hurt more and white elites that secretly despise them get richer.
While I agree with the general sentiment of your comment, I also think a lot of it stems from the indoctrination that “GDP growth is the only conceivable goal of economic policy” and “welfare state is unsustainable”: the neoliberal myth of “yeah we know it’s not perfect but it’s the best we can do”
