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.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
