Which is, of course, why every non-US Western country operates in the "vibe around absorbing corruptionbux and not missiles" mode.
After all, who in a post-scarcity society would want a repeat of the early 1940s?

"I'm declaring your race irredeemably evil for historical crimes"
Or its related cousin, "I'm declaring your sex irredeemably evil for historical crimes", which is what the entire West has been doing for about the last 60 years or so.
about certain noble lies and keeping inconvenient data locked behind extremely secure doors
Or "respect" for short.
Let's think about a recent populist spasm- BLM: the noble lie we tell is that cops are to a degree beyond reproach, that movement sought to refute that, and it did billions of dollars of damage and lead to a 5-digit death toll of the population the populists claimed they were protecting (though indirectly as a result of higher crime rate, but if 'stupid people at the controls' includes Mao's policy of causing a famine due to killing sparrows, this counts too). A clear-cut case of populist stupidity.
The higher death tolls of the 20th century are magnified compared to today in part because the 20th century hadn't solved scarcity like the 21st has.
AIUI, the protestors came first. The US was too slow to respond; by the time the air support showed up their infantry and their command structure were already dead.
If that's the case, this suggests an intelligence failure more than anything else- if they had waited for the US to show up, maybe they'd be in charge now. But they aren't.
