The rise? … I think this more like ‘taking off the mask’
America has always been like this, they just used to make a good show of it before … now they’re just acting like they always did, they just aren’t self conscious or apologetic about it any more.
I think that’s part of the feeling of injustice and betrayal. Europeans put up with all US shit for decades because hey, they’re imperialist that only act in their own interest but at least they’re somewhat tactful about it. They made the entire world revolve around them, but at least they pretended we were on the same side so we didn’t protest too loudly.
And now they’re suddenly acting like they’re the fucking victim of this system they created themselves to benefit them? That basically broke the illusion the West reluctantly chose to believe in, and all that remains is the bad and the ugly

I’ve always been feeling that 4chan is most American thing, now it’s just took off its anon mask and let the world see.
