Its not trump that is pushing to destroy latin american countries but Rubio. Factionalism inside the GOP is a bit forgotten when it comes to analysis.


Its Guatemala not Nicaragua. The Collapse of the Federal Republic of Central America continues to doom the region however.


Isnt he part of the government that came into power after coup by the us against Khan?


The Haiti treatment does prove adequate in hindsight. Regardless, the strategy has been winning over hearts in the west, which isnt always the best course of action.


Yeah a lot of “greening the desert” headlines are actually about regreening former areas that used to be green like 100-400 years ago. Like large parts of the Sahel were lost to the Sahara, even in like 17th century there were european reports about kingdoms that are now lost to the sands. The Kingdom of Yam is an famous example from ancient egyptian times.


Honestly it depends on the country. Many european kingdoms like Germany, Poland or Great Moravia were more like consolidated tribal confederations at first, so the King was more closer to “first among equals” and only firmly controlled “his” tribal base. In cases like England or Castile where there was massive land redistribution (Reconquista & Norman Conquest) it was closer to what you said. Carolingian Feudalism also worked that way, where aristocrats where more like viceroys or mangers with their lands being “easily” revoked if run afoul of the King - back then most peasants were also free farmers and not serfs.
Absolutism was then the transitional state towards modern capitalist nation states. It saw the rise of like the principles of “the states does things” and territorialization with things like border patrol or the idea of a closed space constituting a country.


“taking resources isn’t a colonial endeavor”
I said only part of it. You know I would have loved to engage in your argument if you did not immediately created a strawman to tear down by yourself.


Yes they did in their brexit episode years back, I think it was something along the lines about the EU “beating greece up” which scared the UK into leaving or something.


People kinda forgot that medieval people couldnt just constantly rely on the lactate-carnist duploly and had several alternatives now considered “trendy” “chemical” products.


Its common in a lot of media. One or two figures become the face of “the game” or “who wrote bestelling show” or “made x movie”.


Edward S. Herman, who isn’t in the files
The files arent even everyone who potentially had any ties to Epstein.


popularity among non-socialist figures
It says a LOT about that thing, when leftist/socialist media/personalities/literature/theory becomes popular in such circles.


Just dont treat it like “media literacy”


There were Iranian gusanso claiming that 90%! of Iran was atheist and thats why they should use a pre-islamic flag of iran.


AKSHUALLY feudalism would be dynasties renting (defacto owning) land from the king. Kings historically didnt control a lot of land directly. Absolutism which laid the foundation for the modern nation state, was the consoldation of most land in the hand of the king.


Tbf people still call indigenous picts, germanics and illyrians “barbarians” and whine endless about how great rome was. Another related anecdote is that in english they translated medieval german polities as “stem duchies” -> while the original word means just tribal duchies and is the same word used as to describe native polities (tribes). Because they couldnt fathom calling white people tribal.
But yeah, the erasure of indigenous people is very real. I too often see people in the wild talking as if native americans died out and dont exist anymore or that they arent relevant in the us because its “only” 4 milion people.
They probably think the matrix is aspirational. The AI-run virtual reality human cattle farming immortal-led enclave of Greater Israhell is their end goal after all.
