    Today:

    Why won’t the US police the world better!?

    Tomorrow:

    The US is not the world police.

    If there is something to whine about with no context and self serving purposes, Lemmy is the place to do it.

      Context: The US sends American taxpayer money all over the world through the International Monetary Fund and USAID, as well as weapons. Most of the instability in the world is due to this support system that we created and maintain to ensure capitalist hegemony. It is a monster of our own creation. This is the contradiction. Do we maintain this system that is increasingly becoming untenable, only serving Western interests, or let it go and risk further global instability?

      There is no easy answer, and I’d be lying if I said there was.
