Here is imperial psychology, laid flat: Violence flowing outward from America is "policy." Violence flowing inward toward America is "evil."

Here is imperial psychology, laid flat:
Violence flowing outward from America is "policy."
Violence flowing inward toward America is "evil."
American poverty is "individual failure."
Other countries' poverty is their "culture," their "corruption," their "institutional weakness," never the centuries of extraction and the eighty years of postwar economic arrangements that kept transferring their wealth somewhere else.
American military presence in 80 countries is "stability."
Any other country's military base near American soil is "aggression."
This framework is not argued for.
It is simply assumed.
Built into the grammar of how they discuss the world.
You absorb it before you are old enough to question it.
By the time you could question it, it feels like "common sense."
Breaking that framework doesn't feel like learning.
It feels like losing something.
That is exactly why so many refuse to do it.
