The modern ghoul of Western imperialism seems to be very poorly educated on average and so high on previous propaganda that they genuinely believe they are living in some epic black & white fantasy battle where their wholesome West is the obvious victor in all things, just because it's ontologically "the right side" for them. Nothing is material, it's all vibes and nothing matters except reaction.

I suppose this is not a bad thing, the ruling class sucking in its own class consciousness. It's completely different to the fully self-aware seeming monsters like Kissinger.
