I can spin this too if you allow me:
"genocide" of Muslims via constant war-waging;
"ethnic cleansing" of native Americans;
natural resource exploitation on a global scale;
"modern day slavery" (i.e. extreme capitalism) both domestically by trapping workers into lifetime debts, and overseas by outsourcing to sweat shops;
"deadly global pathogen release" by politicising pandemic responses while failing at it.
Rivalry states smear each others all the time. Also no contender for hegemony is morally superior than another.
- howmayiannoyyou 5y ago> no contender for hegemony is morally superior than another. Contemplate Nazi Germany winning WWII, or Soviet Russia winning the Cold War. Your contention doesn't stand up to history's lessons.
- RyEgswuCsn 5y agoThat’s exactly the point. Had the Nazis won WWII, the narrative would have been the allies were the one that commit genocides, the morally corrupt, and the war-mongers; the Nazis will boast themselves as the most righteous, and most people would have no problem believing that. Hard to imagine for sure, but in a world where the winners write the history, it would be naive to think only the winners must be just because “justice always prevails”.
