A lot of people care, for example all the
US people celebrating* (video from Jescri's post), and their president saying "We can do any bullshit we put our minds into - we got the moneh, the powah and we are the United States of America, fuck yeah."
*Also, have you noticed this?
Proud American doesn't realize he's not holding the flag the way he should to make it look correct from the camera point of view. But well, why would proud Americans care about relativism?
I don't understand how USA could be fighting for "balance". They decide who is terrorist and who is not, who is a tyrant and who is not, who is corrupt and who is not, who is a drug addict and who is not, who is a murderer and who is not, etc. In other words, they decide what is right and what is not, without caring about the culture, laws and independence of other countries. Sure, I too think what they do with/to women is not right in the Middle East. However 1) there are already women's movements which are independent from the USA, so no need to have the USA shooting around for that, and 2) they have a different culture, so who the fuck are the Americans anyway to say it's wrong and shoot because of that? The Middle East is not the only place where women are not treated right, you can find sexism in Western cultures as well, a different form of sexism, would that not make it ok for the Arabs to invade Western countries? USA just like to say "lol they is barbarians, it is our duty to keel".
The USA do have colonies, they are just called "unincorporated territories".
"Would you rather have another European world war?"
Heh, Europe is not the world, man! So you think it's better to have a war in the Middle East than in Europe so Arabs die instead of Europeans? Sounds almost like racism to me.
If the US police the world, who will police the US so they stop their atrocities? Like in Guantanamo to give an example. So the US gotta dictate who's a terrorist and who's not, while they kill and torture just because they are "being rough at keeping balance"? How can that be seen as balance?
Argentina (my country) and Latin America in general don't need USA to keep any bullshit "balance". Come on, people, get real, they just freak out when a country has a government that doesn't want to suck USA's dick.
It is a lie to say USA fights for balance instead of political and economic domination. Heck, even cultural (we are fucking tired of your cliche Hollywood films) and ideological (American Dream? Yeah right). It's even funny how they call themselves "Americans". Hello USA people! we are Americans too!
This is different from
this! Not all the continent belongs to you, no matter how much you'd like it!
"USA fighting for balance" is a complete bullshit. I am from Argentina, a country that has been taking shit from the USA for decades, like many others. Thanks to the USA, our economy was ruined (thank you for all the deidustrialization, unemployement and poverty!). A lot of Argentineans were killed or kidnapped, because, "zomg! there are commies in Argentina!", during our military dictatorships (but especially in the late 70's), which wanted to open my county's arms to USA domination. And they killed people because they were "evil subversives" when they were just people that decided to grab weapons because they could not do politics democratically. Why not? because if the left won the elections, the military would bring them down with a coup just like they had done six times before with other governments they didn't like. What was their excuse? just like Nice_boat said, "ZOMG USSR PUPPETS! lets shoot them and impose an ETERNAL FRIENDSHIP WITH THE US!" (but not in our Constituion, cause they didn't even care about the Constitution
) So thanks USA for "defending democracy"!
And nowadays Argentina, along with other Latin American countries, just wants independence and to make a solid alliance with our Latin neighbours, but guess what! USA has to be there calling our politicians corrupt and even drug addicts, or trying to show how "awesome and powerful" they are by not giving a fuck about local regulation and laws (trying to smuggle undeclared military equipment and drugs into my country) and even bitching about our "disturbing attitude" when we are just defending our laws.
What the fuck are we even doing to the USA!? We never bombed any American nice looking building, or anything. We don't cause any problem and just want to be left alone. So please, USA, get on your nice boats and sail back home.
