Idk if it's an American phenomenon but our hard right does it as well, even (or especially) among people that are only sort of political. Countries each have their own sort of national geist and the relative financial success and relations between countries are just expressions of that geist.
America, in this view, became so rich because Americans just sort of worked hard and liked inventing things. Even taking that to be true (which I generally dont) there's never any investigation into why the people are this way, or if there is it's explained via another invocation of the geist. "Well Americans are industrious and inventive because they value individialusm"
The national enemies become personified as stereotypes, usually aligning to how people from those countries are portrayed in 80s action movies, but because liberalism has no sense of time, it's just the eternal character of these nations.
This is what nationalism and national identity do. They turn states into individual characters you either loyally support or oppose. The character's personality (in the minds of those people) is whatever has been pressed upon a population enough through the media outlets.
This is why it is so important to engage in struggle against nationalism, national identity and the concept of borders.
I had the same eureka moment when I first heard that concept on the old sub (libs seeing politics as a game show or TV drama). Now all their bullshit makes so much more sense, it's purely performative.
yeah, this shit right here
it was fun making fun of Trump's vacuous speech until I realized libs operate literally the exact same way. look how confident these guys are that they've said anything meaningful. the one dude probably ejaculated in his pants when he put the italics on en pointe
now lets see what our resident geopolitical reddit analysts have to say on the topic
look he's really good at two things, being the manager at his local gamestop and corralling a bunch of 17 year olds who sell video games, and the nuance of international relations and the black market value of predator drones
They are starting to sound like the leftists that blame the CIA for the bus coming up late lmao
"But it was the CIA's fault! If it weren't for their intervention in x country the bus service would be properly funded!"
„Russia never strikes me as being as technologically astute as China“
Ah yes, the Russia understander has logged on
instead of vacuum tubes in their early computer designs, they used russian nesting dolls, a clearly inferior choice. those fools.
What are they even talking about with all this technological superiority nonsense? Russia and China both have better tech in several areas than the US do and worse in others. Half the differences aren't anything to do with inability to make it but simply no need or desire to.
What do they even think is particularly special about a drone anyway? It's just a really big RC plane. I know 10 nerds that build and fly those every weekend.
the only thing special about a predator drone is how a dozen people who bribed, i mean lobbied congress got filthy rich from it
The difference between libs and us is that libs really believe in russia/china trying to destroy the USA, and we really want to believe.
no you see 9/11 was an inside job because cheney didn't scramble the jets and billions of dollars of gold were moved from the WTC basement the day before
Nah man, we pay top dollar, if we are humiliating the white man
