  • my standard for imperialism is countries fucking us over and downplaying it as “just business”

    or like how you just come to say shit you know nothing about countries you know nothing about instead of asking the actual people living there.

    enel owns brazilian infrastructure and charges exorbitant rates for cheap energy. they can’t get rid of if because their politicians were bribed by you and it doesn’t matter that i explain it over and over to you as someone literally born and living in these countries that literally sees this shit happen daily. FUCK ENEL, if they are so great how about YOU give them total control over your energy grid.

    it’s no wonder the empire leader you guys elected is literally 21st century hitler. i’m tired of talking to fascists in this thread, bye.



  • most of the countries you mentioned as western are part of the global south. brazil, argentina, mexico and some of eastern europe to a lesser extent.

    argentina currently has an us-aligned fascist in power deregulating their markets for foreign extraction, the situation in the majority of latin america is not very different rn. mexico has us-backed cartels fucking shit up to pressure sheinbaum after a pathetic attempt for a coup. brazil might get another openly fascist president soon, mostly because of us social media bombarding them with propaganda.

    finland norway germany and italy are very much engaging in the unequal trade enabled by imperialism i mentioned. eg. how italy owns the electrical grid in some places in south america and charge high prices for their actually cheap energy.

    i’m not well versed in canadian imperialism but i hear really bad things about them.

    oh and imperialism wasn’t invented by fascists, but very much adopted by them as one of their defining traits.
