The fact that people running the empire are completely unhinged is really disturbing to think about.
i think it stems from popular american exceptionalism that says china and russia are the closest things to despotic, dystopian hellholes that exist in the present day; leading to the belief that death is preferable to life under such conditions.
generations long propaganda this effective effects everyone, ruling class or not.
very much agree
