      This is funny timing for me. I mentioned something related to my wife yesterday. When I was a kid, my perception of other countries was completely ridiculous. Low tech, uncivilized, impoverished, etc. compared to the USA. It took way too long for me to achieve a more realistic perspective of foreign countries at large. I’m not sure who to blame for this but the they surely belong to the previous generation or two.

        This is the standard colonial/imperial gaze 1, 2. Blame the racist colonizers who genocided people and stole all this land. It’s no different today. Just look at Palestine.
