great use of underutilized English terminologies throughout.

I only found one typo, and I'm only pointing it out because you might want to repair it, not as a criticism (typos are my second language so I can empathize.)

"The liberal treatment of independence as a primarily aesthetic reality instead of a culturally and historically grounded one is now it is blowing up in America’s face."

could use "is now it is" cleaned up.

good content, too.

keep on keeping on!

"Human rights are relative to the culture within which they are defined." I really like this. I don't think it's ethical to try and "fix" the whole world. Why can't we just let people navigate social interactions in their own ways with their own cultural norms? Maybe they hate colonialism because it hits too close to home for them? ;) Because, that's ultimately what they want, a world where they dominate and have control over others, destroying cultures and demoralizing them.
