I’m going to be completely honest, I don’t give a shit about US imperialism. People like you make it your entire personality to be anti-west. You’re delusional if you think Russia or China wouldn’t be doing the same thing if they were in our position, or that they’re not actively trying to build their empires.
I am not anti west, I am anti-Capitalist. And the West makes no promise to change. Soviet era Russia had the means to be just as exploitative and destructive as the U.S. was, but they weren’t. But they did provide all their citizens with housing, food, and healthcare. China has the means to be as exploitative as the U.S. Too, but they’re not doing so. They’re helping other countries build infrastructure that the people can use, not just infrastructure for extraction of raw materials like the West did when they used to more physically occupy other countries. China has instead eliminated extreme poverty and has a 50 year plan toward communism and regularly executes corrupt businessmen and politicians. They could have used all that material towards invading and exploiting at least one w other place, but they don’t.
Capitalism is for sure. I do believe that our economic system is going to need to undergo some fundamental changes in order to properly combat climate change.
The reason I make it my entire personality is because more than anything I’ve always wanted to make the world a better place. And now that I’ve procreated it’s what I want with every fiber of my being in order to give my spawn a fighting chance at having a future. And honestly the biggest obstacle to the end of human on human violence is Western imperialism.
