Right, but why aren’t we aware? Presumably cause we can get away with not being aware? (Same as why people in positions of power lack theory of mind wrt subordinates. Which social psych sees, stupidly, as “explaining” lack of empathy. But both explained by lack of incentive.)

Possible, but is this not short sighted? Historically, most major powers invested heavily into public relations, and into making sure that their vassals were doing well. Perhaps the US was just getting started at this empire thing?
