(20,582 posts)We prop up the worst dictators - until they become too powerful, then they're cut down. Any secular 'dictator'/leader that is honestly using their own resources to help their own people - we cut them down using radical religious freaks that take any progress made back decades/centuries. Over and over and over. The millions of people are our pawns in a disgusting horrible game - we use and abuse them; women's rights fought for and gotten - gone. The right to education in nations we need resources from - gone. We unleash our monsters upon them and then accuse them of being 'unsuitable' for the modern world - when it's we who've turned back progress they've died for - over and over and fucking over. What would the ME and Africa look like without our 'meddling'/atrocities? We've seen the pictures here of Afghanistan women dressed in modern clothing going out and about studying, working - the same with Iraq, Libya - now where are they? Not 'modern' enough. We're a sick culture. We have no room to criticize millions while at the same time destroying every chance they have to live in peace and work for their own futures and progress.
