Western Europe, America… everybody sucks here. Both places have positives, sure, but they also definitely have huge dark components in their pasts (and present). Most (all?) places in the world do. The difference is that Western Europe and America are the Western powers and they have more in common than they think. Both have superiority complexes that they try to excuse by pointing their fingers at each other. I’ve seen even huge “leftists” from both places fall back on some sort of superiority when they’re losing an argument or starting to feel inferior.
