Did you study US history? It's riddled with countless examples of when US hegemony has done the exact opposite. Middle East, Latin America, etc. (This is not a comment on US/Western values... Because I'd say a lot of US interventions around the world haven't exactly been congruent with those values).

- Ozzie_osman 3y agoSo the point I'm trying to make is, for folks who are from other parts of the world but moved to the US (I also grew up in the Middle East), western values may seem great if _you live in the west_. But if you still live in those other parts of the world, US hegemony may have been net negative for you.
