Why do redditors get so defensive when told the west can occupy people too
Same reason they get bent out of shape when you tell them they have privilege. It starts to crack their idealistic worldview and they aren’t ready to cope with reality.
They think that liberal democracy is the the most virtuous system to ever exist, which means they can do no wrong, as opposed to those backwards “authoritarians”. They also believe in an updated version of the ‘white man’s burden’, which they use to justify foreign intervention. They don’t think of it as an occupation, but as a means to “spread democracy” to the third world “savages”.
The joke is that they still continued their white men’s burden after the Nazi Holocaust with the Indian Residential fake schools that served as a templete for the Nazi death camps and that continued after 1998 in secret. Like the Holocaust deniers, the Birtish diaspora still fabricate false information to reduce the severity of the fake school Holocaust with the lies that it was only ‘cultural’ genocide, that it was not funded from conned Indigenous parents, or that reparation was ‘paid’ (although they conceal that the conditions of reparation is that the fake school survivors need to live in federal reserve concentration camps in dangerous barran wasteland with planned starvation and planned chemical attacks).
