What a disgusting :smuglord:, holy shit.
"Yeah ok, so I maybe broke your legs, poked your right eye out, cut off a few of your fingers and robbed you blind…
I’d like to apologize, and look! You’re still alive, so go ahead and pull yourself up by the bootstraps! You’ll do just fine, and maybe one day you’ll have a nice house like me. Hard work makes a person rich after all haha!"
I just freedom’d all over myself
If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there’s no progress. If you pull it all the way out that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made.

“why don’t you resist the coup government we forcibly installed in your puppet country?”
It’s not even just coups and direct or indirect control. Even if we have a fully independent government in, let’s say African country, it wouldn’t be able to compete with Western countries on free market terms because, as the videogame quote goes, “the game was rigged from the start”.
Colonial countries put the plundered resources to good use to strengthen their power, so for every depleted mine, for every empoverished family etc. in a third world country there is a factory or an office or a research facility in the first world.
The only way to win a rigged game is not to play it at all, and leading capitalist powers do everything they can to make this not an option.
additionally, IMF debts remain when governments change, and they will do everything to destroy countries that refuse to pay or implement their neoliberal economic policies
Dutch liberals on their way to vote for Adoolf Hijtleer for the 6th time in a row
How do they go about their lives thinking economies are magic like that? I don’t understand how these people function
Its the “poor people are just lazy” argument with a racist twist.
Centuries ago?
What a grand and intoxicating arrogance
This would be a good emoji
it’s already one on lemmygrad!
I thought you were Yogthos bc of your pfp lol
We should do a bit where we all change to that profile picture to confuse you
I’m not very original lol
It’s true though, but not in the way this racist POS thinks. Those colonized nations do have to develop themselves, but it will be by breaking those imperialist shackles first. It’s becoming more and more clear that despite their rhetoric, liberal westerners won’t do the right thing voluntarily. They will shout “land back” but won’t actually give it back in places like South Africa. So the alternative for the oppressed is clear.
I like how they think nothing’s changing. What a nice surprise they’re in for when their empires can no longer sustain the illusion!
Also quite telling is their use of a collective ‘us’ and ‘you (plural)’. Most libs try/claim to distance themselves from the actions of their ancestors, but the mask slips when their language shows where they draw lines and which side they picture themselves on.
Honestly the best thing about federation is the accelerated radicalization among fencesitters cause by liberals showing their whole imperialist ass.
I was reading that thread and wondering why they hadn’t been down voted to oblivion, then remembered Hexbear doesn’t have them.
It’s how people are taught to think. Just cause Jim Crowe laws are not around anymore doesn’t mean the impact they had isn’t still in effect.
There are deadass rexxitors who’ll tell you to your face that none of that matters anymore lmfao
I’m anticipating just living the rest of my life in a constant state of Reverend Wright. God damn Amerika is all I got for that energy anymore.
Ah yes, enjoyed many decades of independence. Colonial taxes and merc wars in Africa over who gets to exploit the locals, anyone?
