    I mentioned the US specifically. As a subsection of the west. Not lumping the west with it. That wasn’t the intention.

    You mean social democracy? Liberalism/capitalisms natural tendencies all trend towards consolidation and oligarchy. And has only been held at bay via social democracy. It’s why they (the US specifically) have overthrown other democracies that wouldn’t side with them. And eventually turned to cannibalizing and erasing their own democracy. As it gets in their way.

    But yes, the US defaultism as you put it was getting at. It causes a lot of misunderstanding and needless drama.
