    Oh stop fuckin being precious. That’s exactly how settler democracy from Amerika to Germany and back works; you CLEARLY don’t know your own history. When you don’t like a world leader who told you ‘no’ at the trade table, the West has him put down. When a world leader proposes divestiture from the petrodollar, the West assaults him in ways you ALL claim to detest with bayonets, then make fucking jokes about it in the days after. When the West need land cleared out for genocidal settlers to put down their stakes, you ALL provide all the weapons in the world.

    Amerika’s very ‘democracy’ itself was built on the genocide of Native Amerikans, and slavery of stolen Africans. The hegemon whose comforts, privileges, and treats YOU ENJOY was ALWAYS greased in the blood of the people you ALL consider ‘lesser’. I repeat: you don’t know your own fucking history.

      You mean virtue signalling. That’s their cute little phrase for it.

      It’s easy to do if you just ignore all the inconvenient facts and pretend you’re more righteous than others.
