    Wait, are you telling me outside of the west that it’s a veritable cornucopia of equality, egalitarianism, and liberty where the elites don’t run the country?

    Oh no, wait it’s actually like 20x worse than the west.

      I get what you’re saying when it comes to most Western countries, but the US really IS that bad. Billionaires are pampered more in the US than royalty is in Saudi Arabia.

      Because the west coup’d every state that wanted to do better for its people lmfao. Never heard of the countless wars the US waged against communism? The neoliberal state of the world was imposed by force through imperialism and subsequently financial domination. The world bank is one of its very tools.
