WHAT WESTERN HEGEMONY?
What hegemony? The USA insures all PEOPLE (not governments) have the right to free trade, secure borders, and human rights, and natural rights, in order to prevent the reconstruction of empires that abused all of the above. That was the ‘trade’ the USA/UK offered after the world wars: “We will sacrifice our modern economies to pay for policing the world until the age of agrarian empires is over and the age of federations of sovereign nations and people with natural rights has completed the transformation to states and federations under free trade and the internaltional-rules-order (reciprocity), creating a condition where world wars made necessary by empires is never created again.”
Where has the USA or NATO interfered where it was not to preserve this promise for all human beings?
Why should any group of people in any government have the right or ability to deprive other people of self-determination, by self-determined means, by the natural law of reciprocity, and the human rights and obligations necessary to create and preserve that reciprocity?
You can’t make an argument against it that doesn’t justify the extermination of you and yours (or anyone) for doing so. It’s not possible.
The only complaint that’s possible is that the west’s experiment with ‘liberalism’ meaning placing the individual’s wants above those of the family’s needs, has been a failure because it creates decadence that destroys countries from within. That doesn’t change anything other than a few constitutional rules, and you get everything the rest of the world wants, EXCEPT the ability to rule those who do not want to be ruled by you. And the right to call upon the world for rescue if any group tries to rule you against your will.
There is no possible moral argument against this policy.
The fact that the USG and EUROPE don’t state it as clearly as I did, and instead harp on liberty and democracy is merely internal propaganda whereby our own governments try to implement policies we don’t want.
Go ahead and argue with me. All you can say is that as the world’s police, we have made mistakes because we have too optimistic an opinion of less developed people’s abilities, development, and behavior.
