At what age do Euro kids first learn about the unbelievable disparity between the US military and the rest of the world and does it scare them? I mean as adults we know there are a billion reasons why the US would never go on a campaign of global military domination, but if I was ten and found out a foreign power had more military might than the rest of the world combined I'd be worried.

That detail got communicated only after we were already familiar with the significantly diminished nature of your apemen minds so the impact was considerably softened.

I've noticed something similar with people whose names I've known forever but I didn't actually start seeing on TV until recently. My notion of Frank Luntz and Grover Norquist was lacking a visual component so I had the "oh that's THAT guy?" response way too many times before I finally started recognizing them. I think my brain had just settled on them being made up of opinions/rhetoric and was resistant to categorizing them as human beings. You weren't 100% wrong, brain, but turns out yes they do have faces.

(This is going to be mostly an old person phenomenon of course)

Frank Luntz doesn't look nearly as terrible in real life as I thought he would. I suppose we're better off that people's villainy isn't reflected in their physiques, lest we have even more reason to burn DC to the ground and salt the ashes.
