(8,146 posts)notice one percenters aka '1st world athletes' do so much better then 3rd, 4th world or 'failed states....i recall 40 years ago, h kissinger said the 1st world had to 'nurture' chaos in the rest of the world to assure 1st world hegemony (not exact quote, but you get the idea)...i recall lance armstrong was doped up year after year (meanwhile usa/1st world was murdering iraq, destroying effective govs in middle east) while stealing bike championship... not to mention carl lewis. Why is 1st world shenanigans downplayed while those poor people KNOW darn well the reason we're better is cuz we have tech ability to hide our cheating until it too late, and don't matter! We destroyed the 'Workers' (Soviet) Union a long time ago and have basically made 'socialism' the same thing as belief in flat earth, tooth ferries and the idea of 'public interest'! That cost taxpayers billions (unless you think the koch bro's etc actually did anything for their vast wealth)...so please WE WON the war versus the worlds' poor and powerless, and we're gonna keep on winning until the planet rids itself of the cancer.
