When we know no comparative context in history, when we see history as a grab bag of ideological fancy rather than an empirical comparison, we know not the realistic human alternatives in that macro board game known as power.
Now I am as much a Buddhist as the next guy, I reckon more so than you could ever imagine.
But human power does not operate on such karmic wheels.
It has it's own grinding realities.
And of all those realities, no power has ever liberated more people, or lifted their living standards, ever, in human history, as the US empire.
She is not perfect, because the human condition is flawed. (Something the Far Left has never figured out, even though looking in a mirror would cure that condition.)
No human polity or empire has ever benefitted more people on Earth than the American empire.
Ever.
In human history.
All other empires, polities, have fallen short in this regard.
Fashion may chant other slogans but history knows that.....
....it is this way and no other.
