Apparently the one I just had on /politics trying to get liberals to understand that USAID is literally colonialism.

’Where is imperialism?” Look at your plates when you eat. These imported grains of rice, corn, and millet – that is imperialism.
“The root of the disease was political. The treatment could only be political. Of course, we encourage aid that aids us in doing away with aid. But in general, welfare and aid policies have only ended up disorganizing us, subjugating us, and robbing us of a sense of responsibility for our own economic, political, and cultural affairs. We chose to risk new paths to achieve greater well-being.”

Takes like this really are weird because it's not even hidden. Was it this kind of thing: https://connectusfund.org/20-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-foreign-aid-to-developing-countries. Where the writer doesn't unpack the contradictions like claiming that giving aid increases the independence of the receiving state while requiring it to export a high percentage of it's produce to the giver state?
Doesn't sound very independent to my if you give me $100 but then I have to work for you for two days a week at less than minimum wage. In fact, it sounds very much like you're only giving me the $100 so that you can control me. On a country scale, one might call that (neo)colonialism but the author in the link doesn't follow it through.
Funny how they can identify all the facts but refuse to rely on those facts when coming to a conclusion. It's an uphill struggle, for sure!
Actually sweaty, it's called US-AID Aid means to help people? Obviously it's a good thing, like the patriot act! Patriots are great and so is aid you evil tankie!
You’re filled with hate. Why?
Because unlike you awful tankies, I'm a special free thinker, it's my freezepeach right to be hateful!
Yes, you can hate. Does it make your life better? No judgements, we’ve all been there. When you’re ready, I’ll listen!
(I'm not actually being serious at all, just tossing out cliche lib statements. I'm not really filled with hate. I don't have the time or the energy to be as hateful as these guys can get.)
That was spot on! I don’t even think of myself as a Tankie, I just ask questions and seek answers. It’s not my fault capitalism doesn’t give me the answers.
I had found dozens of replies on /pol/ seriously advocating for the extermination of women, suggesting replacing them with artificial wombs and ‘sex robots’ (for some reason ‘sex robots’ were always suggested along with artificial wombs).
Anglin removed Goldberg’s posts from Daily Stormer after the FBI arrested one of the Internet’s most infamous chameleons. Anglin introduced Goldberg in his “Slay” personae as “a National Socialist” said to “advocate for the extermination of all non-Whites.” Extermination of all non-Whites! Now that may be the most ambitious genocidal project ever announced.
To be fair, both of those opinions are very unpopular and extremely unlikely to catch on, so I almost feel like I’m cheating when I share these. I have long had visceral reactions to misogyny, though.
/pol/acks and their stupidity never cease to amaze me.
How in the fuck would a sex robot with an artificial womb work? /pol/ users deserve the deepest place in the pit.
I feel like I’ve stumbled upon the sunken place in Get Out today. Are we doomed to echo chambers?
