I mean, it IS the assumption of unquestionable moral and cultural superiority that drives people to commit the most heinous immoral atrocities, isn't it? Always has been.

Tell me that the USA, Israel, and Iran are not each utterly assured of their moral and cultural superiority? They teach it to their children. It reeks in their every self-justifying statement. It is their implicit assumption, their psychological foundation, so taken for granted that it hardly needs to be said. Do they not all imagine themselves to be the noblest nation on Earth, the bearer of the torch of Truth? They do.

Such people are extremely dangerous.
