If you want to live in a uni-polar world, you should support companies like Palantir which bolster American hegemony over global security. If you would prefer to live in a multi-polar world, with multiple superpowers vying for supremacy, then you should support Chinese espionage operations and invest in Indian oil refineries.

If you think wanting to live in a unipolar world is "evil", then there's no helping you.

That dichotomy is absurd, there are many more possible stances than that.

this is a wild mindset. either the US rules the world with an iron fist or there's complete anarchy? how much do you have to hate humanity to believe this?

this is to oversimplify world to binary options, and presenting false choices.

we should be able to imagine something better than China/US/Russia govt, and put work to implement it.

This is the sort of black and white, American supremacy thinking that produces the state of the world we are in. What a false dichotomy.

It is evil because you presume too much.

Your unipolar world is devoid of any meaning. Your democracy is an opiate for the masses with no meaningful choice. Your neo liberalism has destroyed any sense of togetherness and has robbed us of our sovereign resources. And your only answer to descent is to kill millions and bomb countries and people into the stone age.

Sorry if your moralising is now falling on death ears.
