i get it

The illusion of moral prestige is what keeps the masses docile while the machinery of imperialism grinds on. The state’s cohesion—across propaganda, arms, and policy—ensures the continuance of this brutal reality that capitalism has created.

The U.S. state is a cohesive entity, with its arms and ideological apparatuses maintaining narratives that legitimize its actions. It’s not just about PR—it’s about securing capitalist control over resources and people globally

The military-industrial complex also benefits. Defense contractors, who fund politicians, profit immensely as bombs fall on Gaza. Arms sales and military aid aren't anomalies; they’re key features of how the state supports capital through conflict.

This would destabilize the superstructure that props up the ruling class. The mechanisms of consent manufacturing involve every aspect of the superstructure: schools sanitize colonial history, avoid critiquing Zionism, and present U.S. imperialism as justified.

The idea of U.S. prestige is partially tied to its interventions being morally justified. Acknowledging their role in genocide would help shatter this facade, exposing the state as a tool of imperialism, not a "beacon of democracy and freedom".
