Most current conflicts, whether they involve wars and invasions in Sudan and Congo, gross human rights abuses in Afghanistan and Tibet, gang warfare in Haiti and Colombia, mass starvation in Yemen and Somalia, or political repression in Nicaragua, Belarus and Serbia, are under-reported, forgotten or ignored.

Empire (aka the “west”) isn’t ignoring these situations. Empire is directly responsible for them. If people inside the imperial core are unaware, that’s by design. The imperial narrative always obscures and inverts its own culpability. Afghanistan is an amazing example. Tibet is a great example for the alt-empire. These places would be far better off if they were actually ignored.
