When you want to be part of a violent settler colonial project but not actually do the dirty work

Done. I’ve changed the title in line with the English Wikipedia. I know it’s still BS but that’s probably the best I can do and actually have it stick.

I haven’t really changed the article as I’m not that familiar with Simple English’s requirements (you’re supposed to use only some of the most common words?) but y’all feel free. Unlike the English Wikipedia article this one isn’t yet protected.

La imagen nacional que los Estados Unidos tienen de sí mismos, como protectores y defensores de la legalidad, la libertad y la democracia, se funda en la creencia de que poseen una superioridad moral (porque son el “pueblo elegido”). Esta suposición les ha permitido justificar su intromisión en los asuntos internos de otros pueblos (que no son “elegidos de Dios”) o de plano la violencia contra ellos. La primera actitud intervencionista inspirada por el espíritu del “Destino Manifiesto” fue la obsesión de los colonos ingleses por desplazar de sus tierras (o bien exterminar) a los indígenas norteamericanos

“The national image that Americans have of themselves, of protectors and defenders of law, freedom, and democracy, is founded in the belief that they have moral superiority (because they’re the “chosen country”(?)). This supposition has allowed them to justify their intervention in the internal affairs of other countries (who aren’t “chosen by God”) or to deploy violence against them. The first interventionist attitude inspired by the spirit of “Manifest Destiny” was the obsession of the English colonists to displace from their lands (or better said, exterminate) the indigenous North Americans.”

I can generously interpret this as “The bourgeoisie promote the topic in such a way to cause division” a la “transgender boxer” and “oh no, trans people might use the restroom you should be scared”, but really it seems like a stretch.
