Its kind of insane like genuinely insane how many people on here have no idea what life is like for average people in the third world / global majority and the Neo-colonialism that creates those conditions to support conditions in the North and how insanely cruel they can be as the absolute baseline and the type of killing and death that maintains the boundaries between the north and the south.

Like tell me you've never met an immigrant or refugee without telling me. Do you genuinely not know what happens to people who get deported, or work in the farms or meatpacking factories that feed the North?? The child deaths in the border crossings? The mines all over the globe? The people that die from lack of baseline vaccinations and sanitation and healthcare trademarked by western companies? The literal MILLIONS of third worlders killed in the wars across the globe defending US economic hegemony? The agent orange, the land mines, the carpet bombing, the drones? What the fuck is wrong with you?

#mine #sorry bitchy posting #idk why I even read discourse on here anymore its mostly just beefing or more motivated by a specific shitty user or whatever.#idk but like we can accept that you can be poor and disabled and still have other privileges why is it not ok to point out the #overwhelmingly oppressive conditions the North holds the South in and the passport and supply chain and linguistic and exchange rate and #labor protections other such things that all citizens of the global North have closer access to than those of the South. What if it didn't #matter who was in charge of your country and no matter what liberatory things they wanted to do the IMF could still have you gutted and #economically force your country to cut your social programs and use national debt to put your entire population to work serving the #producing goods and raw materials that everyone in the global north consumes whether they have a choice or not.#It not like similar conditions don't exist in the north but its crazy to see people posting that imperial core privilege doesn't exist.#It fucking does.#and it grinds up the bodies of the south in million upon millions and it's fucking insane to act like its an imposition on you to even try #to care or understand. Borders are material and they fucking kill people. They fucking kill people #I literally know someone who almost died because of his non-residential status. His life was only saved because he happened to get diagnose #in a country that had a medical system that could treat him. He had to stay sick and dying and away from his family for 4 fucking years #because if he went home he would never be allowed back again. He was only able to stay because he had support from a vouching citizen frien #who could speak the language well. Then after he was cleared he was sent home and because he has a 'preexisting risk factor' he will never #be granted a work visa in the country again. If /when the illness relapses he is going to die without treatment.#It makes me fucking livid that people can discard the violence of borders so quickly. Borders fucking kill. And they kill in the millions.#The north runs of southern blood. That doesnt mean that northerners arent killed too. But its fucking crazy to act like no such axis exists #any american president would kill the same number of southerners without the destruction of the north-south extractive supply chain.#Im sorry about the spam lol. But this just pisses me off. HOW ARE YOU SO BLIND. How can you say these things and think youre a good person.#How can you say these things. How.
