[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think liberal democracies are favored around the world but malevolent people with enough money and power have pushed false or misleading narratives in a way that support the rest of your narrative.[/quote]

No.  What is favored around the world is power and that means dictatorships or similar.  The exception to that has been the US.  We have been the beacon of freedom.  After WWII we imposed the world order on most of the globe and confronted those that did not agree.

The norm is to injustice, war, and the like.  We are not the norm or at least we have not been.  [/quote]
The United States has been a beacon of freedom.  There’s a lot hypocrisy in that statement.  Usually the Americans claim this while bombing innocents then reimpose dictators.  Oh and then when the natives fight back, the Americans abandon those who worked with them and they retreat.[/quote]

As opposed to what?

The English, Belgians, French and others did the same
The Soviets and before them, the Russian Empire, and now the Russian Federation did the same
The CCP did the same (Korea, Vietnam, etc)
The Ottomans did the same
The Muslim caliphates that spread Islam did the same
And so many others did the same

But only America is to be condemned... And many of the people condemning the US the harshest at the same time glorify Russia or China or others, while nattering on about "anti-colonialism" - talk about hypocrisy.[/quote]
All those examples you site are bad as well.  However your weak whataboutism doesn’t excuse the Americans from bloviating on and on about democracy while at the same time engaging in neo-imperialism.[/quote]
