Nobody is willing to even entertain the idea that West isn't Best. Suggesting that whitey shouldn't rule the world is received as if you'd advocated cannibalism, and you will be condescended to and treated like an ignorant child even as they make it clear they know much less than you do about the subject at hand, if not outright ejected from the community. It's not just bots and manufacturing consent, either - it happens to me in real life just as easily as it happens online.
Anyone who isn't unconditionally anti-NATO and anti-American hegemony is a white supremacist. No exceptions.
Love this place, though. I think I'd go crazy if it wasn't for you guys. Glad I have somewhere to get this off my chest :soviet-heart:
See the US with all its freedoms enshrined in law vs the US when a single group (BPP, YL, RC generally) threatens its hegemony. I had a professor use the foot in the door metaphor to describe political progress in the US, where at least there is a bit of freedom to make change, unlike Iran or China. The way I understood it was, you get a foot in the door, but any attempt to widen it gets your toes chopped off
