There’s more. What if it’s capitalism that brings this on? Think. Colonialism took raw materials from the 3rd world. Left alone those European nations would not have advanced. Whether it’s the raw materials or slaves the world gets disrupted in the biggest way. Think Commodore Perry threatening Japan to open up when all they wanted was to be left alone. Captain Cook saying Hawaiians would be better off ‘if we never came’. An upper class is created in the tribal kingdom where the medicine man is cast aside for a western medicine and a resentment builds. It’s inevitable. One big reason is that a capitalist will sell the rope to his enemy who will in turn use it to hang the seller with. Bingo.
Let’s see. Japan wouldn’t leave Korea alone. Polynesians raided other islands and captured people to sacrifice to their gods. So colonialism is part of the human condition.
Wanna know what’s next? It’s American companies moving their manufacturing overseas to lower labor costs. Colonialism in reverse? Service industries can be run cheaper by importing undocumented labor and undercutting locals. The only difference between no and then is weapons systems. They’re a lot deadlier now.
Would the US follow Milei and the other countries that are seeing the light? We have to stay united first and my previous post suggests otherwise. Too many poor in the world and it’s becoming unworkable.
