    Direct US intervention is only part of the puzzle. The constant extraction of resources and funding of the people who keep the populace down through less obvious means is the main thing putting down a lot of the nations who are not US and EU, particularly in the global south.

    I don’t think it’s unrelated at all to point out that it just so happens that (most of) the rich nations have or had a colonial history, and the poor ones were colonized.

    Finally, this is a meme, you’re looking for too much nuance.

      On that last part we can agree. Although maybe the next good question is whether we should be pushing political ideas via memes.

      We’re collectively maybe a quarter of a century late to that conversation, though.

        Memes can be imperfect but in the current landscape they’re still very effective in agitation.

          You want agitation… without nuance? What use are you? There’s enough shit sticks. Have the backbone to say you didn’t think the meme through.

      lemmy commenters when a meme post on a meme channel doesn’t have the rhetorical nuance of a three hour video essay: 😡😡😡
