The "average American", when polled time and time again routinely profess to have viewpoints waaaaaay to the left of mainstream discourse

for domestic issues, sure, especially because most of those would favor them in the end

but when it comes to the expansion and maintenance of the empire (in territorial, military or even ideological terms, as in believing and/or helping spread the belief that these actions are commendable or in any way fair, deserved or justifiable) i have never seen this

If you view everyone who isn't actively radicalized as evil

i only see them that way if they live in the 1st world

and i do believe evil people can become good or even just, i don't know, better, but i can't see them as anything but evil until they realize how the modern western mindset - their mindset - is built upon a supremacist worldview. how is a person whose worldview is built off supremacism not evil? until they start dialing back on that shit, which i can't see happening before radicalization, i can't think of them as good
