Colonialism is when a country I don't like does a thing I don't like somewhere else. Imperialism is when any country attacks any other.
There, who needs books when it's that simple, tankies?
The fact that he can do all of this and face zero opposition within government and didn't even get punished once he was out of office (despite popular demand) kind of proves you didn't have a democracy to begin with.
Where was democracy when Bush's brother stole the election for him?
And Gandhi didn't do jack shit.
Only once violent resistance had forced the Brits away they went "oh by the way it was totally the guy who would have laid down in the street to be flattened by our tanks, in case anyone else wants to try it"
They need to fear more, clearly.
Y'all tried tens of thousands of protests but are giving up at one CEO? That's a shitty sample size.
Well that's settled then, politicians would never lie to provide cover for companies. Nothing else that happened that week could have explained it, the government has done this so often (without even announcing it to the people they want votes from) that this is for sure the only explanation.
Nah thanks for mentioning it, I wasn't privvy to it and now I know what kind of doctorate my old Uni's department heads probably had
I might be high on copiun but I think the level of imperialist infighting we're currently seeing might be a product of the weakening of imperial hegemony. The rate of profit of imperial extraction no longer provides sufficient growth to stave off bigger and bigger crises more and more often, which is why the bourgeoisie of the metropole has become so shamelessly exploitative even if everyone can see it's killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
The political momentum that this horrible genocidal structure gained is so huge that even very influential capitalists like Buffet and Soros can't pull enough political capital to halt, much less reverse. They've been talking about Keynesian measures for god knows how long and yet the big steamroller keeps chugging along.
I think revolution is no longer hopeless, it's looking inevitable. Hardly a week goes by without some shit happening that would have sparked a wave of riots a decade ago.
The world owes Dan Brown/Robert Ludlum an apology if reality itself is this ham fisted

What the fuck is a doctorate in leadership? No wonder the US has such an enormous research output, they give a Ph.D. with your happy meal
The gringo years of lead are gonna be full of old, pasty, bargain bin Rambos aren't they

The CIA as Organized Crime by Douglas Valentine (not about the mexican cartels specifically but about how they utilized the very same blueprint down to a t in Operation Phoenix in Vietnam and exported that model pretty much everywhere the US had its hands in)
That's not what it says. Your refusal to engage with evidence has you pretending you found a gotcha because you assume anything that disagrees with you has to be based on a flawed premise.
You're literally ignoring the facts he presented (maidan was a coup, Donbas collectively decided to secede in a referendum). The people of the Donbas were resisting an attempted genocide as much as Gazans, you can listen to Poroshenko's statements about bombing their hospitals, having their women and children hiding in basements, you can see the indiscriminate shelling of civilian centers. Both of them were propped up by your government (the lapdog of the only empire on earth rn), and by you personally, from your stupid refusal to acknowledge actual imperialism and pretending the enemies of the State Department must be the enemies of all of us everywhere.
