    Don’t worry. At this rate, we’ll be as relevant as The Internet Yellopages book (yes, it was a thing) before the decade is over.

    We were created by a bunch of fanatics that y’all didn’t want on the continent anymore because they constantly wanted to ruin other people’s lives, can you really be that surprised?

    Normality is not the issue here. It cost a lot of institutional sanity to maintain the neo-colonial aparatus of “the west” and now the “we should not be ashamed of the nazi’s actions” party is a third of Germany’s parliament. You guys are only a few small steps behind us in this process and “normal” is how we ended up here.

      The US was already doing regime change long before that, it just wasn’t using the CIA to do it (because the CIA didn’t exist). I’d personally give them a pass for kicking Maximilian I out of Mexico because that was effectively just undoing France’s earlier regime change, but they got involved in Samoa and Hawai’i before the 19th century was done.

      Britain is, of course, not innocent here. We’re absolutely responsible for fucking Iran up, amongst many other things. We just weren’t the ones that got the US started on the same habits
