It really wasn’t a “choice”. Western capitalist interests have spent the past seven decades trying to bully the rest of the world into falling in line with their nefarious aims. And last I checked KFC, McDonald’s, Burger King, Dominos’ Pizza, Pizza Hut, Kelloggs, et al. were all western interests. I see them in every country I go to, they are a large part of the reason for the global obesity crisis. Last I checked none of them are known for selling traditional Vietnamese, Kenyan or Mongolian cuisine.
Nobody is denying how destructive capitalism is as a whole but only a very dishonest person would deny that it was western capitalists who pushed their diseased way of being onto the rest of the world and not the reverse. The Chinese and Indians are not doing anything that western corporations have not spent the past several hundred years doing.
Western capitalists are dominant globally. They enjoyed a multi decade head start. Yes, all capitalists are bad but western capitalists have been the most destructive.
Thank you western capitalists for polluting our air, water and minds and then making our children sick. We are most grateful.
It’s not bleak, it’s naive to assume that there has been no communication or back room deals between the politicians and the cartels.
She is not an independent candidate, she did not come to power via a coup. She is a veteran politician who played by the rules established before her and emerged the victor of a blatantly crooked game. People simply do not want to accept it because she is a woman.
I’m sure the political elite have zero ties to the cartels that have ravaged Mexico for decades and never assist them in their endeavors. /s
Why would she? She’s part and parcel of the political furniture.
Replacing slaves with “indentured servants” sourced from places blighted by poverty and starvation caused by European meddling does not give Europeans the moral high ground.
I don’t think you have any idea how insidious colonialism is, or more specifically European style colonialism. You speak of slavery which is the theft of labor, colonialism is the theft of labor AND resources on a grand scale whilst lying to the world about benevolence.
I’m guessing you missed the whole colonial era and what happened in far off places at the hands of Europeans, well into the 20th century (and arguably still in the case of France). But you go off.
No. If I do not like either group then your point is invalid.
I really have no affinity for either group but I do find it odd how quick Europeans are to point at American racism while ignoring or denying the existence of their own racist tendencies.
Isn’t that what they all do?
OK, how about I put it another way - you are as vile as each other.
You happy now?
A healthy reminder of the state of affairs for all the Europeans who like to point fingers at white Americans. They got it from y’all.
There’s a book by the same title that’s very good.
I would if I had them.
It’s always advisable that you teach people how to use anything safely.
This really seems like a non-question. What is there to debate?
I hope you keep that same energy when natural disasters happen in the West…
And policing individual gardens, greenhouses and homes isn’t difficult to enforce?
I can believe that. The last time I lived in London one of the neighboring flats had 4 young women living in a 2 bedroom apartment with a small living area and tiny kitchen.
Sure. That’s worked out great for Cuba and countless others who have their elected leaders assassinated by Western powers but please tell me more about this supposed “choice”…
