      I’d argue we’re a lot more like the British empire in their glory days- exporting authoritarianism, subjugation, and hate globally, for as long as it serves our material benefit.

      We are not just like Russia.

      We aren’t exceptional though, you got that right. America hasn’t been exceptional in decades.
