    Man, if you don’t think we’ve made significant progress since the 1880s, I don’t know what to tell you.

    And again, to the extent any progress was made, it was within the imperial core.

    Oh no, you’re one of those.

        No, the kind of idiot who says “Both sides” in the Ukrainian War are bad because the Imperial Core is Exploiting the Helpless Foreign Countries. It’s reverse White Man’s Burden, and ethnocentric as fuck.

          So are we just supposed to be ok with all the people who died in wars or coups because the US wanted to make sure no country could successfully do communism or even just decide not to give away all their resources for cheap?
