Reminds me of how white Americans say they "don't want to be a minority in their own country." It's guilty projection. They just assume anyone in their position would act as beastly as they have.
that is very interesting, the though that they internalized that though so much thay they are afraid other people are like then.
i saw a person saying once that most west science fiction is about alien invasion, beings from far away with technology beyond our comprehension to massacre us to steal our resources, they project themselves into their stories, the colonizing monster.
while soviet scifi the aliens are communists, they surpassed many contradictions from their society, them they go roaming the universe help other races in surpassing those contradictions.
Yep. The guilt is buried deep but it festers and finds its way back to the surface.
