That’s true, I meant that Haiti was historically actively sabotaged—rather than simply neglected—by the West. In hindsight I should’ve worded that differently.

Oh, that part isn’t directly the West’s fault beyond historical responsibility. I meant to say that Western sabotage, not just neglect, is what led to Haiti’s present state, not that they’re being sabotaged right now. I should’ve worded that better.

So… Americans. My dude if you see “ICE arrests man for thoughtcrime” and aren’t immediately up in arms you, yes you personally, are part of the problem.

Nobody in a position to enforce the constitution cares about it anymore. If you want to keep your habeas corpus, you will need to do something about it.

Well we all know that Fascism experts are the least important people to have around when Fascism takes over a country.

Historically nobody fucking listens to fascism experts so yeah that’s true. Looking at the pace Trump is democracy at and the state of “resistance” to his regime, I’d bail too, and I didn’t spend my whole career studying the horrors of fascism.

Took them long enough.

Oh shit this does not bode well for Syria.

The problem is that the human trash in the Democratic Party want to sit on their fat asses and take bribes while doing nothing for the people.

Wow, he really managed to outdo the war on terror. That’s fair, but I don’t know of any indication that he had the capability or willingness to do anything that flashy again, so America overthrew him after he’d been mostly pacified.

Yes geopolitics is about selling out to the evil capitalism scary spooky west!

When that geopolitics comes at the cost of ignoring an ongoing genocide on your doorstep (and a litany of other, less flashy manifestations of Western tyranny), yes that’s true.

Without help with active sabotage from the West.

Edit: To everyone asking what I’m talking about: Aside from France bleeding the country dry, the US occupied it until 1934 and controlled its budget until 1947 when it finally paid off its “debt” to France. Whatever chance Haitians might’ve had at a decent life before 2050 was crushed by France and America, leaving it in a worse position than even African post-colonial states. And yes, the effects of colonialism do last that long; just look at Africa. America and France have a responsibility to fix the mess they created in Haiti.

Everybody forgets the Nazis first plan was to toss all the undesirables into their own country, and that the European countries created Israel to get rid of their own Jewish populations after WW2.

Hell, the Zionist militias that fought the Palestine civil war and then the Arab-Israeli war in 1947-1949 were Polish-trained and armed explicitly so Poland could toss their own Jewish population in Israel, and while Poland (and most of Eastern Europe) wasn’t exactly far-right they shared similar views on Jews. This shit goes deep.

Correction: He is going to go after you. I’m not trying to be callous, but that’s the cold, hard truth; Jews never fare well when rightwing reactionaries are in power.

Oh, the environment thing is true, fair enough.

I know he literally committed genocide against Iraqi Kurds that one time, but that still doesn’t come close to the sheer amount of death and destruction the West caused by violently overthrowing him. Just read the link in my reply and compare the numbers.

First of all no, that’d be the UAE, but more importantly you don’t need competence to build relationships with the West; you need to be a fucking sellout. Which most of the region is, but still, it’s not a matter of competence.

I personally have no problem with AI (all your problems with AI can be solved by overthrowing capitalism), but I don’t want to hear anything from these guys.
