Why was the British empire so evil? What about imperial Japan? Or the French or Roman empires? Why are citizens of empires self-centered and evil and supportive of their nation? Surely, it must be because of lead poisoning…
That’s the nature of empire. It requires the dehumanization of its victims.
Sorry, comrade, but I don’t understand your comment. I was just being sarcastic towards a few users who now apparently believe the US is ideologically stubborn because of mass lead poisoning or for some weird biological reason.
I see. I thought you were being serious.
Shit. I thought the silliness of pointing out lead poisoning as the source of the problem was like a “tone indicator.” I apologize for the confusion.
