          Yeah I literally believe that. Imagine living in the west and still not being able to understand you’re on the wrong side of history.

            so you’re thinking outside the box that you’ve found yourself in and you’re on the right side of the history?

              I’m on the side of the liberation of the global majority from the yoke of western imperialism. BRICS is at the forefront of that.

                  Russia is not an empire. It would like to have a sphere of influence with friends, but it definitely needs its neighbours to not be US empire agents bent on destabilizing it into civil war.

                  China is not an empire either. It makes foreign investments that are better than any US offers. US is the one that uses extortion and bribery of puppets it installs the most.

              People in the West seem to choose to be as dumb as rocks. My only consolation is that you are only 13% of the world population and declining. Soon enough we won’t have to care what you think, and future generations may not even have to learn your languages to read your horrible takes.

              Reading online posts by benighted Westerners made me wish I never learned English.

                It’ll happen at the same time as the mythical collapse of China, which never comes.

                I’d welcome the end of imperialism as well, mind you.

                they don’t “choose to be dumb”. Same minority of people who are exploiting you, wherever you are, are also exploiting a great majority of people in the parts of the world you call “west”.

                It’s easier to manipulate people when they’re “dumbed” down. Media is bought and controlled to form opinions and spending on education is minimized. Most people aren’t even exposed to ideas that can create a spark in their minds.

                “People in the West” are not your enemy. Their masters are all peoples’ enemies.
