We do not need to trade with countries that do not share our values to be successful.

"values" is the key programming point. A key problem with democracy is that divisive speech and disinformation are free too, and oligarchism and CIA evil funds much more lies than the humanist truth that democracy was supposed to attain. Our elections are hateful identity based on preventing the opposition shit form winning. Proof that our values are empty CIA sycophancy is that "our values" say that the rightful election winner in Venezuela is a narco traficker who will give away the country's oil industry to US companies.

Values of pluralism and freedom are awesome. Values supremacism as a basis for US empire warmongering support is not any real humanist value you should have any pride in. You either have values or you are a piece of shit for provoking/supporting a Ukraine proxy war to diminish Russia.

True values are the ones that are best for our society. We can recommend gay marriage for Russia and human/climate sustainability assistance, and the right motivation to do so is to make world/Russia happier. Values supremacism on the other hand is just an excuse for hate. Your programming for hate simply can't be deprogrammed by facts and metrics on improvement towards your/our values/humanism. Your programmers will never let you see their side.

I should also note that there is a wide (divisive) gap between CPC and LPC values, that has gotten wider with social media algorithms. Maybe our only shared values is that we will thank the CIA for praising/blessing whatever election outcome we get. A world order where the only governments we praise are CIA blessed democracies where all parties that are allowed to present a chance are forever in favour of US led military alliances/colonization should be a red flag on what our values actually are.

There are 2 nazi apartheid ethnostates in the world that the CIA-aligned praises as great democracies. The identity of values supremacism is never threatened by the shift/emptiness and moral bankruptcy of a lack in values. The identity is all that matters/remains.
