    You think you can just go against decades of propaganda that built their worldview and to which they attach themselves like lifeboats in the raging sea so easily?

    The problem I see often is moral “flexibility”, and even on Lemmy I see an objectively morally wrong action being praised because it’s done by people “on our side”/“who are European as me” and those same users will condemn the same behaviour (usually not even as egregious too, lol) coming from “the other side”. Westerners are often too propagandized for us to have productive, informative discussions, and too weak and morally confused to admit they’re wrong/X action is simply not good regardless of who’s doing it.

    A better world is possible. Capitalism in the modern age is dying imperialism. Western supremacy is built on the backs of the global south, not any intrinsic superiority of capitalism to produce good results but for its systemic drive for plunder. Socialism, where humanity takes the reigns of how we produce and distribute away from the profit motive, is the way forward. If you want a place to start with theory, I made an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list, feel free to give it a look!
