  • Western Civilization (if you can call it civilized) has been built on years and years of exploitation, which is still taking place today.

  • Many screwball nations have been made by bankers over the years. After WW2 the nation of Cechoslovakia was made combining both Ceck and Slovak tribes.. Two groups that traditionallly didn't get along! Sad.. Africa also has nations whose borders were made by bankers or victorious armies that combine tribes/nations of people who traditionally competed against eachother.. thanks UN/IMF/City of London..

  • @MindofaJedi I pretty much agree with everything you typed here.

  • The problem starts with our use of language . "Free trade" now means corporations are free to do whatever they want to whomever they want without consequence . Democracy by definition cannot be forcibly pushed onto people . Terrorist and foreigner with a different religion are not synonyms . Capitalism does not equal Democracy . Conservative is a desciptive relative term and should be used as an adjective not a noun . Liberal does not mean anyone to the left of yourself .

  • Your analysis of the current patterns of Euro-American colonialism is fucking brilliant!

  • For a second there, I was bothered by your plea against privatization - but quickly realized that when you say "privatization" you mean ownership title transfer by the puppet regime to its owners and friends. There is no problem with pure privatization - in which case the locals would benefit far more than with so-called public ownership - even if the actual private owners were not natives.

  • Takes one to know one....lol.
