When Westerners do this, it’s called being innovative… This supports my belief that the West has been holding the world back. They want to portray it as the other way around where doing it their way speeds progress ahead but when you really look at it, it’s all about restrictions on everyone else but “them”. AI has been the perfect example of this. Open source is destroying the “rules based” AI Western order or how they sugar-coat it as “their moat”. They don’t have control anymore because people aren’t following their rules. When Westerners do this, it’s seen as a good thing. But everyone else… they see a crime. Europeans can’t see it because they’re the OG that wrote the playbook that the US used on them. They still think they’re in on it.
Look at how being in an alliance, economic or military, with the US who dictates and leads has put its allies in a precarious position in the world when the leader, the US, holds all the power. US allies are floundering in the world where their future well-being is not so bright. It’s not just Trump but look at how Biden dictated trade policies to allies to which led them off an economic cliff. Then Iran shows how vulnerable they all are by someone they thought couldn’t do anything. That’s a result of the dependency on and abandonment by the US. Every single one of them are a rudderless ship in the world right now because of it.
That’s them! What do you think they’re doing to the rest of the world? Look how Venezuela couldn’t even put up a fight when the legacy of what West did to the region essentially has neutered their militaries. MAGA literally thought they can do the same thing to China until Iran gave them a dose of reality.
Look at China not doing it their way as they demand and it’s the second most powerful country in the world surpassing all and threatening the US’s own position on top. They didn’t want China to have its own AI and instead embrace theirs because they thought that’s what was best when it’s only and always been about control over everyone. They wanted China to pay up to make them super rich falling for their scam of how they were the only ones that were ethical and moral to lead the way. Take a look at what’s been happening now and it’s a joke.
Show me a Western influenced country and I’ll point to a country that amounts to being just a lemming who can’t think for themselves always dependent on the West for the most simplest of things which which means being vulnerable and weak and that’s how they designed it.
