> what is right and wrong in politics is determined only by the power that is able to be leveraged by other people
Not sure I understand this part @Demosthenes . On superficial reading it sounds like "Might is what makes right in practice" - but I think you're saying something more naunced than that?

@digital_carver I'm 100% saying might makes right. We see it in absolutely every country. In china, they can successfully suppress everyday people and minorities, but because they are investing in infrastructure globally, most nonwestern countries ignore it while praising China.
The only reason we are so against nationalism and racial discrimination is because we won WW2. Propaganda during and after the war has worked to completely suppress the mentalities that led to it.(that and nuclear weapons has made national expansion through wars too risky) If the Axis had won, the story would have been completely different.
