Sometimes I think this stuff is an indirect form of bragging. Like "we're so rich and powerful and safe we can afford to indulge in behaviour that would be suicidal to a *stan or African state".
Similar thing with America, like its goading the world that "we can afford to be hipster fags who speak in up-talk and call trannies 'brave' and spend all day in starbucks participating in reddit SJW circlejerks about gender pronouns on my macbook and we're still stronger than all of you!".
