[quote=Nepenthe]Quote:People keep saying that they want the same things I want, and I don't think they do. Ultimately, I want the dismantling of Western capitalism and return of full blown autonomy of the Global South to the people who live there so that they can develop their societies on their land how they wish. I fundamentally don't think most people here actually want that. I think they are just fine living in a world of this much inequality, and are only working to ensure that the lucky minorities who live within the borders of the West and are popular enough to galvanize attention and sympathy get access to the spoils of capitalism too.Is it really that much to ask?
Again, what do you specifically want?
I mean, sure, who doesn't want nationstates relegitimising slavery, performing child sacrifice, genocidal ethnostates, feudal shogunates, and caste systems?
Crazy how people offered the proposition posed by western liberal capitalist thought that nobody is inherently better than anyone else, and that you are rewarded for services that benefit your society with transferable credit that you can then spend on whatever you personally want.
