A viewpoint that has been in the mainstream mix since the 1960s is not "edgy", calling out the USA for coupling the rhetoric of freedom with the reality of oppression and self-interest is old news kept relevant. I certainly prefer American hegemony to the realistic alternative hegemonies, but what I'd really like is a multi-polar world with no hegemon at all.
