There is no greater form of euro centrism/American centrism than those who front as being anti-imperialist and anti-American influence but have come to decide this as the narrative of a region through lazy investigation & only because it serves their personal political interests more than it actually serves Middle Eastern people. People who care are curious, and those who flatten Middle Eastern conflicts into reductive buzz words instead of taking the time to investigate the complex and diffuse stories of the land are not genuinely curious. They only express interest to the extent that it fulfills their political agenda. The irony is that they build their brand on being anti-American, but there is quite literally nothing more American-centric than upholding sloppily underresearched narratives of foreign lands based on how it benefits your American politics.
