  • ok but have you considered chinese imperialism!!! they’re invading the world with cheaper, better and faster smartphones and ethically made synthetic diamonds that are materially indistinguishable from the diamonds mined by slaves owned by the west and various renewable energy tech that will absolutely be used to steal solar energy from countries investing in it and definitely not help countries divert away from broken-down non-renewable energy infrastructure depedent on Western private companies to “maintain”!!

    don’t you get me started on russian imperialism… You don’t wanna get me started!




  • More word-salad that basically amount to patronizing “it’s nuanced” ageism is all I’m reading here, fucking racist age-chauvinist.

    The others in other threads have clearly expressed their points in great detail as to why Western regimes, currently committing genocide and adding multiple war crimes under their belt, are not “liberating”, “civilized” states upholding “civil liberties”. Applying jurisprudence to regime changes, land-grabbing, enslavement, disappearance, murders and torture and going through court circus to justify their actions doesn’t make them “civilized” or much better than their client states, European settler.






  • I had thought and interpreted that the UN or US flag being used in the first panel wouldn’t have made a difference but then I remembered someone could absolutely try to diminish the US’s (and really the collective West’s) role in perpetually balkanizing and destabilizing the Global South by dispersing the blame equally to each member state of the UN (both-sidesing/all-sidesing/whatever-the-fuck-it’s-called)…

    Thanks for the sources, I’ve learned a lot more new material from this than I care to admit…

    im guessing the starting point would be 73 opec oil embargo… So 80s would be the Iranian revolution (oil production nationalization = West big sad), then idk what happened in the 90s (fall of the USSR? Someone else could chime in here). Late 2000s was the Great Recession and of course COVID19 happened after what seems like a time skip.
