Honestly it’s just funny… the empire that thrives off of, and is built upon erasing and defacing other peoples’ histories, cultures, etc. is also now fumbling with their own (though it’s not like as if their “history” and culture as they try to preserve it isn’t almost entirely made of shameless lies). Self-inflicted “karmic justice,” if not even 1/1,000,000th of what they have done to others- not that anyone else even wants to do to the west what they do to the rest of the world, they are their own worst enemies, and their only true enemies.
The rest of the world, and those suppressed groups within the core whose histories are actually precious to them- those who the US tried to erase- will live on, and the only thing the rest of the world really needs to remember of the empire is its hatefulness and treachery, hopefully even their descendants will disown them and base their identities on rejecting and being better than them.
…perhaps there’s a bit more spite to my usual schtick from just seeing some typical racist/“colonialism was good actually” bullshit. But it’s not like any of what I said is incorrect either, I’d love to be proven wrong in a positive sense but this always works too.
