The US is no victim here, it has maintained its hegemony for 70 years. Maybe it is time for something else.
I realize the people who have lived most of their lives in the US don't see the downsides of its hegemony, but rest assured that it is seen far more clearly elsewhere.
- dodobirdlord 6y ago> Maybe it is time for something else. No thanks. It's been a while since the US government perpetrated a genocide. China, not so much.
- robert_foss 6y agoThe 100k people who died in Iraq probably wouldn't agree with you.

- robert_foss 6y agoPushing back is fine, or at least ok. But this mode of creating information divides will only serve to further the cultural distance between all parties.
