I’m from the “global south” and things have always been very split here. I remember in school and college there were always people who would talk about the US as the “great Satan”. But just as many people were ameriboos. I don’t feel things have changed much. The ameriboos are just more outwardly fascistic now.

I think that the world will not always remember, unless it makes it its rightful duty to always remember.

The US should be known as similar to Nazi Germany; in fact, far, far worse when considering scale, longevity, and its global genocidal reach. But that won't come easily. Especially as its influence dies down- and hopefully, if it dissolves altogether in due time- I see that as a global responsibility.

Do people of the world always remember nazis were bad guys? No. They quite often so not.

We have the US to thank for that though

Most of the world outside of international-community-1international-community-2 has known them as the bad guy for decades.

You can add the Eastern/Balkan EU countries to the list unfortunately. Plenty of people here looked up to the US as some shining city on a hill even before the fall of the Eastern Bloc

That’s been the status quo for a while now
