absolutely distorted logic. modern civilisation and its fruit of modernity is not free, you deserve only what you solve and not entitlement and competition is inevitable. the crucial question is are you advancing modern human civilisation with better insights and modern capital or just uttering what you deserve as good intention and ideal vision without contextual circumstances. do you have the mindset and wisdom capacity in your system to create real solution or just all talk.

To understand fully what he is saying, consider these cases I outline below. I am from Pakistan. In the wake of the Gaza conflict, due to the phenomenal bycott of the CocaCola, a locally manufactured beverage "Next" is a hit. Very soon we learn that the owner of the company gets kidnapped. Back in the days, when PEPSI came to Pakistan, there was a popular brand called "RC". Guess what PEPSI did. They bought every single glass bottle out there and so RC faced a situation where they had the drink but no bottle to package and under such conditions, it was meant to close. A few years back, in our local Market, a good chips brand named "Oaye Hoye" came that was giving a competition to the "Lays". Lays cut down the supply line of Oaye Hoye by buying out the entire potato stock for the next few months. When Walls ice cream came to Pakistan, we had an amazingly popular brand called "Yummy". There again we saw how the mega advertising campaign took place and basically every available place for advertisement was bought. If this is what I know from memory and just in one country, imagine what these corporates have done to the world at large ...

Thank you for sharing. I think what we need is to realize the power we have in our choices of purchases. If we can’t stop buying from the big brands than we can’t sit sit here and complain about them. We want politicians and oligarchs to give up their greed but we can’t attain that until we stop feeding the line of mass production. It will be a bit uncomfortable but ultimately that is the power we have direct control over compared to anything else.

If you had a proper Government that could make Anti Trust Laws those situations wouldn't have happened. I've seen multi-nationals try bullshit here in Australia, but it rarely works for them like it says it has in Pakistan. Pepsi bought all the Glass? There's a million places you can buy glass from, and rules against hoarding. That hasn't stopped the fact about 5 enormous Food Brands probably own 80% of the Labels in a local supermarket, but that doesn't prevent people trying New or Alternative Brands. Big Brands do get lazy, and quick thinkers create new things. Then they Cash Out when a Big Brand buys them out - But it's always just a cycle. There are literally trillions of Dollars of Baby Boomer Investment Money floating around in the World's Stock Exchanges looking for the Next Big Thing. Come up with the Next Big Thing and you'll Love the system. Coca Cola never saw Red Bull coming.

We can shut down capitalism, we are the workers. But ... we have not done it in the right way yet. So support Green Party US, with Dr. Jill Stein and Workers Strike Back because the US Empire, specifically, needs to change fundamentally with American working class solidarity. That's the big last brick to fall. Also a mutual aid bottom-up community development platform like One Small Town, based on Contributionism is worth a look for helping along with this.

Adam Smith had to delay publication of Wealth of Nations due to the Credit Crunch in Europe of 1772 when dozens of banks collapsed in days. This was due to the 'loot' [the Hindi word for plunder] from India drying up for a while. This followed the Great Bengal Famine of 1770 which killed up to 10 million [or 1/3 of population in Bengal Province [inc. modern Bihar and Orissa] died 13 years after British takeover. In 1769 Richard Becher had predicted this Ruin of Bengal [which had been the richest province in the world's largest and richest economy, Mughal India] due to British rapacity. At the same time Robert Clive returned home with his loot as the richest nonmonarch in Europe and his EIC mafia men became the new super-rich elite known as the 'nobs' (nawabs). This pattern continued for 190 years with some 3 dozen famines killing tens of millions as the Brits looted some $45 Trillion, systematically destroying Indian textile competition and any other industries etc. - search Jason Hickel India.

Check your history, and you'll find all belief systems based on a God are there to control the masses before a police system was established. Start thinking for yourself rather than being led by the nose like some beast of burden. The bible is full of magic and paganism. Things the church wants to stamp out. What a hypocritical book.

When you understand where the biblical stories come from and why they were written, and only then can you understand how human societies have been manipulated for centuries. There is no God. It was only invented to blame someone out of human control, for the bad weather, failing crops, or small societies stepping out of line with social norms. Jesus only exists as a martar as no such entity ever existed. The Torah is nothing more than a collection of Gilgamesh stories. The Torah, Old Testament, are the Ouoran same book. Christianity and Islam have fought for centuries, and yet they are the same religion. For both Christianity and Islam, jesus is a profit but not for the Jews. Christians around the world support Judaism before Islam. Otherwise, we won't tolerate the genocide of innocent people in the Middle East since the crusades. The more you understand how strongly Christianity and capitalism are linked, the more you will understand why we have so much destruction and poverty in the world, let alone climate change. The sooner we accept socialism as the way forward, the sooner we rid ourselves of the burden of the old Testament. Free from capitalistic domination. And experience a more just society.

If Palestinians were able to form a state it would only devolve into another failed middle eastern country run by Muslim theocrats or a military dictatorship. They have nothing the world wants but a small number of agricultural products. Their economy would collapse and eventually become another country dependent on foreign aid. Muslim extremists would seize power and there would be constant warfare and terrorism directed at Israel and their neighbors. Palestinians are not interested in peaceful coexistence or a two state solution. They want a one state solution with Israel gone and all the Jews expelled from the entire region. They lost every war they have ever started and still think they can dictate unilateral terms. Some people really love the role of Martyr. Muslim countries are happy to sell oil to India, China and whomever is willing to pay. If we stopped buying oil from them do you think the global demand for oil would suddenly dry up. Would Japan, China and South Korea stop manufacturing goods. The “global south” loves oil and would continue to use oil even if the rest of the world were able to switch to renewables or some other system. The Saudis and all the oil producing gulf states have grown incredibly wealthy from the oil trade. They are equally responsible for climate change. All this phony outrage is nothing but posturing and intellectual showmanship. We certainly have our share of responsibility but the entire world and all the players are culpable as well. Things are much more complex than we would like to believe. It is so much simpler to make one side bad and the other side good.

People in North America and Western Europe are delusional. We are very spoiled. We are not ready to give up our modern conveniences and anything short of that will not save the planet.

If we are serious about restoring the earth’s ecosystems we would all have to live in small organic ecological farming communities spread out across the landscape. Everything would be made by hand and would be natural and biodegradable. Technology would only be used for very limited purposes. Yes the wealthy have all the power and they control the means of production and the flow of capital. They are taking the lions share of the wealth produced for themselves. However we do still enjoy a very high standard of living because of the systems they’ve created. If they were to share more of their wealth with their own citizens (which they should) we would still face an ecological crisis due to consumption. We want inexpensive cars, cheap oil, cheap energy, computers, mobile phones, affordable housing etc. All these things require cheap labor, low cost materials and resources, manufacturing and military power.

What needs to happen is that neoliberalism needs to end and a be replaced by a more equitable system of wealth distribution so that the exploited countries can lift themselves out of poverty. *Currently* there is no green manufacturing and with your pie in the sky attitude there never will be, and maybe we would have to expect less but it would at least be workable until a much more environmentally friendly manufacturing sector is created, if you want to do your part and revert to the stone age, be my guest.

I had a policy proposal to a former fed economist which attempts to solve a problem in highly identical description to this piece. My description was a lot broader involving at least seven other parameters, including national security. Initially, they accepted it with open arms. Then over a day they suddenly shut the doors to my face. I knew from the beginning that the policy proposal involved a large part of bond markets going through concurrent deflation and reflation adjustments, which I didnt mention - they must have noticed this. The adjustment was to the benefit of labor and away from acute control of capital over labor but in a way that boosts productivity with a minor caveat of appropriations. The amount of fight and pushback was mind numbing at such a win win adjustment. The point is, those people who own the means of securitized production will never yield. Never, ever - no matter how small the inconvenience.

*A long history of divide-and-rule/conquer.* The people of the Greater Middle East, including the Levant (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. Strategically ambiguous rulers make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule". Today, their leaders are ALL tools. Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Endless wars, constant dissent. Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book... Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? Same types of people and systems. Different times. Same games. ------------------------------------- The people of the Africa have been "divided and ruled" over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. Strategically ambiguous rulers make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the "playground" during the Cold War. Moscow was taking on the role of arming the resistance. Once the dividers have reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) so the own systems of gain can siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to "rule" over the dissent which is classical "divide and rule". Today, all African dissenters, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent. *Give a weak mind money, and they will dance for the dividers...* Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book... Four corners of the globe. Different rules. Same games. -------------------------------------- The people of the Americas (most of whom are Christians), including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide and rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), then after 1900 as European colonial powers' influence decreased, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. _Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide and rule games on their neighbours._ *Forget "nukes". The "divide and rule/conquer"-strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be used invisibly in times of peace, AND in times of crisis and war equaly.* Ever since the two-faced "snake" slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), human beings have fruitlessly warned and have continuously been warned, against "divisions" within a peaceful status quo. Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a "system" divided by lies and deceit). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide and rule. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror", constant dissent with everything's a war war war... Insert levers of lies, mistrust... Create favourites: favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER, to those who volunteer to act as proxies... Point the systemic finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power... Divide and Rule. Oldest trick in the book... *In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity."* [Critical question: Who is "we"?] And that is what they did. And that is what you are fighting for. America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Europe are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues, with a "pattern" of alignments which are beneficial to the own rule. Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the MENA region) against each other. It is how divide and rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the template. Who wields the POWER? Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? That is what empires have always done. Create the default rival/enemy on their own marching routes. It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the default rival/enemy. Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it immediately becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances... The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people, locked in the eternal struggle for wealth and personal gain which they have been deceived into thinking is "good", but which WILL be exploited by the snakes who deceive them in the divide and rule technique of power. Because ..."most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams *War is a great "divider." It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through families, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with themselves.*

We have to be able to see world from the perspective of geopolitical framework also, because these interests are not private moral questions and are not related to identities or any other concrete ideological questions...

It's explained within the very same speech. The ME is often ruled by governments the western world has put in place. This fact is something you *have* to know. They are also a major source of essential resources and production for a large portion of the world economy. Think, and you would understand instead of simply being able to parrot. You're too used to being told exactly what to believe, instead of being given the information to see the picture.

Actually, Jason Hickel is one of the world's top experts on the exploitation of the countries of the global south (mostly people of color) by the countries of the global north. So, can you disprove anything he said?

Is it not a little oversimplified to say that a liberated Palestine would mean a liberated Midfle East. ?

@mah5298 23 күн бұрын

Yes. But it means keeping the Middle East weak and submissive will be wayyyyy harder to do. Israel is a Western colonial state. The British created it. But they planned to create it with the agreement of other European nations even before WW1. The idea is to place a Western state in the heart of the Arab/Islamic world. This meant the Western powers had easy access to their African and Asian colonies. The US inherited the British Empire as a superpower. Today Israel ensures that the Middle East remains under dictators loyal to the US to serve US interests. Nobody is saying if Palestine is free and there is no more Israel, there will be no wars. But it does mean it will be more difficult to keep the Middle East weak and fractured. Don't take my word. Biden himself said it "Were there no Israel we would have to invent an Israel to protect our interests in the region. Imagine if there were no Israel. How many ships and troops do you think we need to have stationed in the Middle East (to project power)". Trump said something similar. The point here is that if the Western colonial state is no more, then the chance of a liberated middle east drastically increases because maintaining colonial rule by propping up dictators becomes a whole lot more difficult.

Salam peace thank you for the excellent breakdown of the mind of the emperor. I come from an Asian British imperial background. We have studied at school about colonial history however when I came to school in the west I had no idea what history they were talking about because entire colonial history was summerised in concepts of they built schools hospital and they brought modernism and democracy to all the colonised territories! Only at university level and even there perhaps if one dies in depth research one can perhaps find in the archives what they actually did to the colonies and what they're still doing and perhaps if you're lucky what their future plans are! Meanwhile they still culturally, intellectually and spiritually control us because they have sold us capitalism and it's virtues. And like the obedient colonial slaves/addicts that we are, we still believe this to be the ultimate truth. Palestine revealed all these hypocracies and double standards. The cruelty of occupation and of the ongoing suffering of our people is heartbreaking. Their moral compass is faith and the Quran. The Quran tells us the past present and gives us glimpses towards the future. So the only positive thing is that by the faith and the courage of the Palestinians, we all are taken out of our comfort zones and are brutally facing the truth. What will you choose now? Truth over falshood or just busk in your intellectual laziness and shout out zio slogans? I pray and hope that you will finally understand your role in the world and humanity and see the larger picture than limit yourself in your Netflix, PS, YT & fb world. Palestine should shake your conscious and make you believe in humanity again 🤲🏼🇵🇸♥️

@usernameryan5982 The middle east has been bled for resources for ages, and exports those resources instead of havinf any chance to self develop. ME countries often have leaders qppointed by western nation intervention, and this is a fact that is openlt fucking known. Can you connect the dots?

It's not automatic. But it is a step in that direction, which makes it a threat.
