Any American schoolchild will hear echos of “manifest destiny”, the ideology that justified westward expansion — with and without force.

I am old enough to remember that the Bush administration (possibly Karl Rove) told reporter Ron Suskind exactly this: empires make their own reality & attribute it to an interpretation of whatever text they fancy, then leave us to read and puzzle out meaning where there is none.
![The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3ypcijohrisg6prkgfs4hi6v/bafkreigle4w76t2dymur54skii2icsqchhqv55k4qnagnauuxiptokya6i@jpeg)

Claude Malhuret is a proper role model for European politicians in these chaotic and existential times for Europe.
Take 8 minutes of your time and listen carefully. It is worth it.

This is the problem in the US that has enabled the extreme polarisation and Trump’s power. Once a society does not agree on a shared reality and the principles of the system anymore, its game over.
European countries must be really careful not to lose the shared reality too
European countries must be really careful not to lose the shared reality too
We’re living through a fundamental shift in how discourse is created. Institutions once shaped a shared reality through discourse - imperfectly, but with structure. Now, that reality has splintered. In its place, engagement-driven ecosystems amplify whatever resonates, truth optional.
