In evil DPRK, the citizens are so propagandized that they deny any reality that does not conform to the party line.
No matter the president, the US can longer pretend that it acts as some sort of a moral “beacon”. It’s now clear for all to see that it’s just another Great Power in pursuit of selfish interests.
people tried to say this same thing after Vietnam and Iraq too. bourgeois media will keep pretending and lying
Thing is that the trust has collapsed at this point. Nobody outside the west believes in US anymore as evidence by most of the world aligning with Russia, and even in the imperial core people are losing faith in the system. There’s a reason people in US now see TikTok as a more reliable source of news https://www.businessinsider.com/social-users-think-tiktok-news-more-reliable-than-instagram-facebook-2024-6
We said we were the only moral country while we owned slaves. I mean, we still do, we just bragged about it at the time. You know what I mean.
While this has always been true, I think the difference now is that they’re not even pretending. People who used the government’s past acts of pretending as a shield can’t do that anymore; minds are changing as a result.
Indeed, I the big difference nowadays is that people in the imperial core increasingly see the true face of the empire.
