    Whats Does America Stand For? The World No Longer Knows.

    No, we know: USA Imperialism and genocide.

    […] So if you’re a Hungarian fan of liberal democracy, all hope is not yet lost. Pressman [USA ambassador] was addressing the Budapest Forum, a conference on liberal democracy […]

      They’ve been trying to put somebody more compliant in power for years now, so wouldn’t be surprised if they go to the next step and just try to overthrow the government.

    It never stood for the things it claimed to stand for in the first place*—going all the way back to We the People**—and the receipts keep piling up. Trump isn’t some exceptional case; it’s always been so. Today America stands for the international rules-based order, which is not what it says on the tin. What it is is neocolonialism.


    *It did stand for manifest destiny, though. It still does, but it used to, too.

    **The “we” was exclusive to white, land-owning males, a.k.a. the bourgeoisie. It certainly didn’t include native Americans, chattel slaves, or women.
