    I am learning that so much of the support that the USA has from other white countries is based on white supremacy. The USA is the white world’s strongest warrior, and they will cheer on the US murdering brown people even when they don’t have any skin in the game themselves because of this.

      Klanadians kkkanada are a very good example of this, such lapdogs when it comes to US imperialist violence.

      The US does most of Europe's dirty work since the end of WWII. Europeans are the main benefactors of America's wars in the Middle East. Iraq, for example, had very little of its oil being carted away to the US during the 2003 war. Most of the oil being stolen was sent off to Britain, France, and Germany. Heroin in Afghanistan was making its way to the States, but significant amounts were being funneled into Europe.

      The Imperial Core is aware of this, even if that awareness only exists subconsciously.

      White supremacy and patriarchy are like the two largest forces that turn the gears of "Western" culture.

      This isn't to say that other cultures don't have their own issues with that sort of stuff, but when you are politically and economically dominant, it's gross to have those social forces at your core.
