Thank you western capitalists for polluting our air, water and minds and then making our children sick. We are most grateful.
It’s all capitalists. Capitalists in the East aren’t magically beneficent.
Western capitalists are dominant globally. They enjoyed a multi decade head start. Yes, all capitalists are bad but western capitalists have been the most destructive.
China is authoritarian capitalism with communism for their under classes. They are the worlds 2nd largest economy. Their capitalist practices are just as, if not more reckless than Americas. Just because they dress it up different doesn’t mean they aren’t capitalists. They have the 2nd most billionaires in the world. So sick of everyone acting like evil begins and ends with the West because they live there and don’t get exposed to other news enough. The whole world is fucked, it’s not just “the west.”
Nobody is denying how destructive capitalism is as a whole but only a very dishonest person would deny that it was western capitalists who pushed their diseased way of being onto the rest of the world and not the reverse. The Chinese and Indians are not doing anything that western corporations have not spent the past several hundred years doing.
And yet, they don't have to do it. They choose to.
It really wasn't a "choice". Western capitalist interests have spent the past seven decades trying to bully the rest of the world into falling in line with their nefarious aims. And last I checked KFC, McDonald's, Burger King, Dominos' Pizza, Pizza Hut, Kelloggs, et al. were all western interests. I see them in every country I go to, they are a large part of the reason for the global obesity crisis. None of them are known for selling traditional Vietnamese, Kenyan or Mongolian cuisine.
It really is. Their governments could reject Western Capitalism. They don't. Why? Because they're just as greedy as them.
Sure. That's worked out great for Cuba and countless others who have their elected leaders assassinated by Western powers but please tell me more about this supposed "choice"...
