The British variant of Ruscism: an ideology that wraps itself in the Union Jack, nostalgia for empire, and a conviction that British exceptionalism justifies exceptional treatment. UKianism champions Brexit as liberation, dismisses European human rights courts as interference, and lionizes imperial figures while downplaying colonial atrocities. It shares with Ruscism a victimhood narrative (the EU, immigrants, “woke” culture), a cult of military history, and a desire to restore a lost greatness. It often manifests in tabloid headlines about “taking back control” and in nostalgia for a Britain that never quite existed.
Example: “He insisted that the British Empire had brought ‘civilization’ to half the world—textbook UKianism, where imperial nostalgia serves as a license for present-day arrogance.”

The American version of Ruscism: a hyper-patriotic, exceptionalist ideology that holds the United States to be the unique beacon of freedom, whose global dominance is both natural and benevolent. USianism dismisses criticism as anti-American, glorifies military intervention, erases histories of colonialism and slavery, and demands cultural conformity around a mythical “middle America.” It is less explicitly fascist than Ruscism but shares its contempt for international law, its embrace of “might makes right,” and its framing of other nations as either vassals or enemies. USianism is the soft power arm of American empire.
Example: “He argued that the US had never committed war crimes, only ‘mistakes’—USianism in a nutshell: the belief that the flag sanitizes whatever it covers.”

A critical term for the ultranationalist, expansionist, imperialist ideology of the United States, analogous to “Ruscism.” USianism is characterized by: American exceptionalism (“chosen nation,” “city upon a hill”), unilateral right to invade countries (Iraq, Vietnam, Panama, Grenada), the doctrine of pre‑emptive war, global expansion of military bases (over 800 worldwide), interventionism via the CIA and USAID, and dehumanisation of adversaries as an “axis of evil.” Critics argue that USianism operates as a revolving‑door fascism: it alternates between liberal democracy and torture (Abu Ghraib, Guantánamo), between human rights rhetoric and civilian bombing. The term is used by Global South analysts, anti‑imperialist leftists, and realist geopolitics currents.
Example: “A Palestinian activist said: ‘USianism is Ruscism in English: the same UN vetoes, the same “spheres of influence” in blood and fire – only the T‑72 is replaced by the Predator drone and the annexation of Crimea by the coup in Ukraine.’”
