There's a perversity to the "moral logic" of modern imperialism, in the sense that it's willing, to an extent, to criticise itself. It will admit to bombing, ruining, killing, raping, and destabilising countries insofar as some distant and oppositional Other remains worse. We bombed Libya, Iraq, etc., but Russia is worse! Our transnational corporations and financial institutions may be exploiting Africa and the developing world, but China is worse! We may repress people, but North Korea is worse!

They don't need to be morally pure, just kings of the shitheap of their own design. And it doesn't even need to be true. They simply need to make this moral asymmetry appear true because they own the media, dominate international institutions, and write the cheques of academics who produce the knowledge that reassures them that, no matter how shit-stained and blood-encrusted their faces are, they'll always be cleaner than the enemy. Then they convince most people of that too.

what if we admitted to each other that it's not always really romance that we want. What if we admitted that what we're really craving is intimacy and society taught us romance is the only way to get it.
