    I just think the empire is in a different position right now to be sparing resources for unimportant things plus Americans are largely (by now) selfish and sociopathic and simply don’t care about anyone besides themselves (not even the white kids that die in school shootings changed that!) so what’s the point in pretending? It ain’t the early 00s anymore, there’s a proxy war with Russia that ain’t necessarily going super well and another proxy war with China brewing, we can’t be thinking about our fake morality at a time like this!

        Do you think that’s an opinion? “Chocolate is better than gummies” is an opinion, I’m just being descriptive here and connecting dots to the best of my ability. I feel like the American empire is the greatest cancer in the world, that’s an opinion (kinda).

        More like “the ideology has created fundamentally broken and selfish, if not evil, people, and expecting anything to get more righteous and fraternal in a country/society that was created through genocide and grew/grows stronger through murder and pillage is just silly”.

        You don’t think I pray for the West and wish they would turn to God and righteousness? The whole world basically has suffered the greed and rage of Western Europeans through millennia, I also would like for it to stop! 😭

          For some reason, I’m disinclined to take the word of religions which sanction slavery and pedophilia (and expanded through genocide and grew stronger through murder and pillage) as the final word on righteousness.
