What makes him think that America didn't subjugate the rest of the world? What does he think is going on right now?

Rebuilding an area you conquered and annexed so that you can use them as auxiliaries and proxies is an age old tactic of empires. The USA wasn’t rebuilding Germany or Japan out of charity, they were being built into war machines to fight the communists

Yeah, Japan was a client state of the USA until the Plaza accords where the west tanked the yen on purpose. Same thing with South Korea.

Now we're watching the plaza accord sequel with the eurozone

Frogs and krauts deserve it though

What was the Korean version? How did the US make it tank?

Was the Asian Tigers burst also orchestrated?

[-] axont@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

I just meant that South Korea used to be an American client state. I guess it still is.

Are the free people in the room with us right now?

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

No no, the free people are in the secret room below Omelas having a wonderful time not alienated or tortured.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
