| >Overly dramatic sensationalism - ripped straight from a first year college pamphlet on how to be angry at the man - at its best. No, actually pretty much pragmatic and casual. That's how the work works (at least as it is). Unlike your ad-hominen attack, which was childish ("oh, a stereotypical fake college revolutionary", etc). >And all it warrants is a simple: prove it. Such an extraordinary claim, you should do it the justice of demonstrating it as fact. Nothing extraordinary about it. And you even missed the example I gave. Here are a few other examples, barely scratching the most obvious facts: (1) Large part of the Southern US GDP was for centuries based on slave labour. Today's fortunes, nicely paved streets, etc. (2) The wealth of European societies has been subsidized from 1500 to 1950 from colonies and occupated land all over the third world. (3) If you have a home anywhere in the US, is because some people back in the day took the land of previous inhabitants. (4) Cheap oil in the West depends on military and political pressure (instead of open market exchange) from toppling Iran's elected government back in the day to invading Iraq et al. |
