USianism

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.”

UKianism

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.”
