    We (Europeans) have absolutely no moral high ground to stand on, we colonized half the world, America acting this way is just because they learned it from watching us. I doubt they’ll be able to manage the decline of American empire with anywhere near the stability of the managed decline of the British empire, though…

    At the end of the day, all states are shitty.
