The geopolitical analysis of the western “anti-imperialist”, similar to the imperialist, is muddled in a superiority complex. It comes from a place of subconscious arrogance, extending their “benevolence” to the struggling faraway world. They celebrate the fall of the empire they’re in, where they can freely tweet criticisms at the political class and go on protests just for the thrill, while urging you to hold onto the crumbles of the pharaonic empire you are in, because they are all aware of the intricacies, the bigger picture, of which you are not aware. They water down your lived experiences, that of your father and grandfather, into mere geopolitical analyses, and then, with all good intention, they shove it down your throat.
