but as long as the world police is western i think we can maintain a reasonably peaceful world

Why do you thing lefties keep slandering the British empire?

if usa were to go into an isolationist mode and chinese or russian world power were to take over things would be interesting for sure

i imagine there are a variety of reasons ranging from legitimate concerns over peoples' right to self govern to irrational self hatred

but imho it is quite clear not everyone is capable of self governance 😂

> Why do you thing lefties keep slandering the British empire?

Because it was our zenith, and therefore dont want nostalgia for it or even ideas of resurrecting it

If the US were to go isolationist it would make Europe the centre of most of the world's geopolitics again

China is only as powerful as much as the world let's them

When Britannia ruled the waves, the world was relatively peaceful and there was a global order characterized by British morals and ethics. People today hate on the great powers of the past because they dont understand them.

The people in charge of the 'lefty' narrative do understand them.

I used to think they did. But they believe in social constructivism rather than the organic origin of nations.

They dont understand what an empire is

They just want to destroy that

Let alone what a nation really is

Indeed they do

They understand what empire is - they have their own in the form of internationalism/globalism

But you see

Internationalism and globalism are not imperial

In an act of supreme irony

They 'deconstruct' organic forms of government while creating the greatest social constructs they can think up

A global federation of liberal states is not actually possible

So instead they create this contrived façade

A world they would like would be a global version of Brazil

Indeed

Or something like that

Liberalism isn't their end-game

It's a tool they use

That is not to say that a Global State is impossible, just that it could never exist in such a fashion

And absolutely

Liberalism, now morphed into Neo-Liberalism is simply the means to an end

Yes

For most of these clowns, that end is Market Fundamentalism

And neo-conservatism (if there is much difference)

I dont make distinctions between those anymore

most of the left doesn't seem to be liberal in any sense of the word

Well, it is more that they "sanitized" liberalism of its origins. Liberalism historically evolved from municipalism and was influenced by many old ideologies that were tried and true. Neo-Liberalism was (not literally but spiritually) founded in 1947 with the establishment of the United Nations.

The neo-liberals opposed the Soviet Union, less because of its human rights abuses and atrocities which they made liberal arguments against, and more because of the loss in capital gains that was occurring due to a lack of trade between the 1st and 2nd world.

They support "rights" for transgender children and unrestricted abortion, not because of liberal arguments put forth about individual liberties, but because both can be made into industries and are potential to make a buck.

Women who abort their children stay at work

Children who transition pay for pharmaceutical drugs and cosmetic surgeries to destroy their reproductive capacity

Had John Locke seen what 'liberalism' meant today, it would be a foreign concept
