I mentioned the US specifically. As a subsection of the west. Not lumping the west with it. That wasn’t the intention.
You mean social democracy? Liberalism/capitalisms natural tendencies all trend towards consolidation and oligarchy. And has only been held at bay via social democracy. It’s why they (the US specifically) have overthrown other democracies that wouldn’t side with them. And eventually turned to cannibalizing and erasing their own democracy. As it gets in their way.
But yes, the US defaultism as you put it was getting at. It causes a lot of misunderstanding and needless drama.
glad we could sort that one out then. I fucking hate the US and their defaultism on everything.
We all have to keep mindful of our own unique experiences and bias. Not just assume everyone should know blank. It’s part of why traveling and meeting other people helps reduce bigotry. Reminds us of just how little we know.
yeah absolutely. it’s why i go out of my way to interact with many who I disagree with, neo-nazis, tankies, islamic extremists
