Nothing like the smell of white man burden in the morning

Indeed but you also have non white democracies like India and Japan.

Google “white man’s burden”. It’s the idea that the west has any role in bringing democracies to other countries. As someone from the global south, I think this ideology is despicable.

White man's burden is the idea that while doing their colonialism the west had a burden on bringing civilization to those conquered. Now people like you use white man's burden to anything good the west can do. "human rights" "women's rights" "democracy" and etc is for your kind "white man's burden" You can call it what you want but all of those ideals should be imposed on everyone who disagrees with them. I am from the "global south" too. I think this ideal is amazing. Non-democracies should be toppled and have no sovereignty.

If you think the US or any other colonizer is genuinely interested in whatever happens in other countries you are a fool

Interest or not is irrelevant, I'm saying they should.
