      The author Domenico Losurdo uses the term mutual demystification a lot, especially in Liberalism - a counter history. When two parties accuse each other of being hypocrites, it often ends up showing that they both are.

        I’d like to point out that I’m european, not american - this is the opposite of calling each other hypocrites.

          When people are not brain dead by media, both in the US and EU we know all of our problems comes from our own government and fat CEOs.

          Foreigners are just one of the many scapegoats they put the blame on.

          What it reminds me of is Greeks and then Romans calling them barbarian, from barbar meaning foreigners. This isn’t new…

          The problem always was power and the unfit nature of human beings to possess it.
