Reply #44: Mainstream Imperialistic Assumptions [View All]

[jimlup]

Most of the mainstream media and the elite politicians take the concept of American hegemony over the whole world for granted. Most of the arguments within the political mainstream of the US are about tactics in this pursuit. It is actually odd, when I stop to think about it, that this has happened in our country. Curious because the American people don't share this view (or even really comprehend it) only the politicians and the dominant media. I guess empire is good for business, that is the only explanation that I can conceive of that explains the pervasiveness of this ideal within the elite power structure.
