I regularly watch AA but missed that particular episode. I hadn’t heard of Boomer Truth Regime before, but one thing in the video caught my attention: the idea of 'seeing the world as good and evil,' which I’ve noticed is deeply embedded in the American mindset. I’m not sure though if this comes from WW2 or has even older roots. The pattern seems to be that they first create an enemy, then equate that enemy to the ultimate symbol of evil (e.g., Saddam is the new Hitler, Putin is the new Hitler), and launch a propaganda campaign promising that everything will be wonderful once this 'evil' is defeated. Remember when they declared it the 'end of history' after the Soviet Union fell? Liberal democracies were supposed to reign forever, and all conflicts would vanish.
I’m not sure if Europeans’ inability to grasp reality is tied to being influenced by this propaganda—leading them to genuinely believe they represent 'the good' and therefore cannot admit being wrong—or if it’s a result of Europe having shaped global narratives for the past 500 years which has perhaps fostered a sense of arrogance, leading many Europeans to believe they know best, to the point where they struggle to accept being wrong, even when reality proves otherwise.
Whatever the case, it’s certainly worth analyzing more deeply.
