    Until the crushing realization that much of our relative advantage and comfort is due to the outright exploitation of much of the disadvantaged.

      If it also makes you feel better, most countries in the world continue to exploit their, and other countries populations. In that aspect, the US exploits fewer than many other countries.

        I’m sorry to disappoint you but the US is the driving force of the destabilisation of many countries in order to more easily exploit their resources.

          A huge quiet player in neo colonialism is France. You can watch the new real life lore about it. It’s honestly on par with both the UK and US.

            I agree, but to say that there are countries that are worse than the US in that aspect is just false. There is no other country in the world that causes as much damage to the lives of normal people than the US.

        Extremely doubtful, I’ve seen what we’re used to paying for wages. Every company you’ve ever interacted with has a foreign team that they’re paying $2 a day for, whether that be for tech support, customer support, materials gathering/construction, or shipping.

      Bullshit, our insane technological advancement in the last few generations gives us comfort. Imagine the good we could do with this tech if we lived in a equitable and sustainable way. Instead, the vast majority of this benefit is captured by the respective 1%ers of various nations.
