Its a bit long but I think its the best explanation of the Russel paradox. Essentially, numbers really aren’t what we think they are.
Just thought it might be interesting to someone at least.
Facsism is just capitalism when you try to say no.
Understandably, workers didn’t like capitalism. So, when they found out about socialism, many of them grouped up and tried to say no. After which, facsism was made to counter this.
So, I mean literally fascism is just capitalism when you try to say no. You only get mercan staal neo classical economics because you say yes.
Outside of small city states, capitalism came from merchantislism.
Specifically, at the intersection where merchantislism and mass dispossession/theft of people’s land meet.
The only meaningful change is that the assets are now, mostly, intangible and you’re allowed to move to a different parish.
They call countries banana republics, from what could be described as oil and banking republics with just a small modification or two, without a hint of irony.
You ran out of rum didn’t you James?
I’m sure I’m thinking of a flack jacket with an extra plate of kevlar or metal ( a bullet proof vest).
Tbf, those things have always been for stopping shrapnel and keeping your insides on the inside, if you do get shot.
They were never made to stop assault rifle rounds, even from the kind of distances intended for assault rifles.
After that, things get more complicated.
Thats certainly one possible explanation for why Americans chose to simplify the spelling of the words they use.
I don’t think I explained it very well.
They dont look to own the country when they overthrow it. Thats old school colonialism. Its expensive to maintain and people will dislike you for it. Neo colonialism has them pay for their colonisation from the start.
It’ll be for access to specific resources. Say they had, oh I dunno, oil. You install a puppet government thats 100% dependent on you, who knows they’ll be killed if they lost US backing, and you force them sell you their oil fields for a fraction of their worth.
Then, any revolution or even democratic vote that tries to take them back, despite how wrong and unlawfully they were obtained, would be seen as breaking international law and have them cut off from the rest of the world. Cuba was and still is meant as a warning to the rest of the Americas.
You don’t need the rest of the country to be prosperous for that. In fact, that would just push up the labour costs.
I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying. However, I think the reason it’s not sitting right with you is your assumption of good faith on their part.
What if they never cared if the country is more profitable generally and they just wanted to rip them off as much as possible before they realise what’s going on?
To me, their actions make far more sense if I presume that was what they really intended to do. More so, any assumption of good faith, as you point out, makes their behaviour seem, at best, bizzare.
100%. People only think them failures or the CIA as incompetent as they presume the CIAs illegal actions, in those instances, to have been done in good faith, despite the contradiction.
As always, the intended outcome was access to that particular country’s resources, for a very small group of wildly wealthy people, at regime-change prices.
When it comes to that, the CIA are amazing at what they do.
Yup, the rules are simple: you serve the empror by killing the alien, the mutant and the heretic.
All else is blasphemy.
The “weak and strong” thing nazis do with Jewish people has always been one of the most ridiculous square circles imo.
They’re, apparently, weak, bad, lower, undesirable etc. As such, they should be killed to allow the master race to take charge of everything.
However, apparently, Jewish people are also in charge of all the banks, all the governments and every institution, other than nazi approved ones, as well as being in charge of everything. Ruling from the shadows.
However, by their own logic, that would make the Jews the master race.
