I wonder if the US will ever start to properly reckon with the fact that they are also the baddies in this world. They are not the only baddies, by far, but they are intentionally not helping either, they are not innocent or altrustic, and they're a large part of why so many other groups are baddies too. I think the myth of America fighting for democracy and freedom in the world, or the idea that they ever have been, is starting to fall apart. Stuff that used to be laughed off as "bringing democracy by force" and "fighting wars for oil" and "the war on drugs" and "the war on crime" and "the war on terrorism" is feeling a lot less like a playful joke and starting to hit with a much darker and horrifying reality of what was really being accomplished and what was really intended. I think people can see themselves and the clear reflection of America doing the same things Russia and Israel are doing recently, and it does not look good. Maybe it's just me. But I hope it's other people too.
