What was this purpose, never to question US hegemony??

This is more blunt than i thought IGC participants would ever get about 
supporting US hegemony. Interesting, very interesting! Havent we so many 
times asked numerous UN agencies to explain themselves to us.. Isnt that 
what a civil society groups is all about... Seeking accountability, and 
asking the powerful to explain themselves. And here someone is making 
jokes about an effort to seek accountability, yes, asking a powerful 
entity to 'explain itself' to us, mere people/ public;... You used the 
right term.

  Well, we asked the Indians at the IGF to explain themselves to us on 
their CIRP proposal. And they did, thoroughly..... and many other such 
things.... But never the US, not even in its expressly global governance 
role... Only those developing countries, and their organisations. They 
can be asked to explain themselves, never the US.

I dont even understand it, what to oppose it.
