"Anyone on Reddit probably knows more than the average global citizen"

"Meet the New Boss, same as the old boss!" cried the Old Boss, before he had even kicked the bucket.

America still has the highest military budget. America still has 800 bases all over the world. America still has unwanted torture dungeons in other peoples' countries. America is still funding reactionary militants and destabilizing countries. America is still couping, embargoing, sanctioning, invading, and bribing. America still has dollar hegemony. America is still the only nation to ever use a nuclear weapon. America is the only nation to proudly and openly declare that it will use a nuclear weapon in a preemptive strike capacity if it sees fit. And despite all this, motherfuckers in America are so afraid of America becoming #2 bad guy, that they start counting the chickens of BRICS imperialism before it has even hatched. It reminds me of this old cartoon from the civil war:

"if I hadn't killed you, you would have grown up to rule me"

that's the mindset of western chauvinism

No amount of comparative analysis makes a difference. Western chauvinist social fascists will always imagine, just like Brits did till their empire died, that their nation is the beacon of enlightenment and forward thinking, and that they will bring progress to everyone else at gunpoint, and nobody else is really capable of doing that, and they should be stopped before they even get a chance to try, because obviously it's all just a ruse, a trojan horse, they really just want to be America 2.0. Do as I say, not as I do! Nobody has the right to my hegemony because they'll just make the same mistakes I made! And I know better!
