  • “For example, let’s say the new government wants to nationalize a certain natural resources, what happens? You get sanctioned, the exchange rate falls, the debt multiplied, and you end up with an even more unpopular government than the previous right-wing government”

    I don’t get why it works this way.

    “This represented a new and perhaps even more effective means of spreading neoliberal ideology across the world, not by employing right wing paramilitary death squads to coup left wing governments (though it still happens), but through an ideological indoctrination of the overseas students who came to study in Western institutions, who would then bring the seeds back to their home countries and allow it to germinate there.”

    Someone tried telling me about the harm of when the US pretends to be #1 in supporting certain good things. Like LGBTQ rights, despite actually having been extremely against it for all of US history until recent years. They described it as a Trojan horse to sneak in imperialist propaganda into other countries. And then people of those countries see what the Trojan horse is filled with, and deem the the Trojan horse evil that must be banned. So then they’re against things like LGBTQ rights because they’ve seen it used as a vehicle filled with pieces of imperial agenda.

    I didn’t get it, but you describing those pieces as seeds self-spreading and germinating helps it makes much more sense to me.











  • I just began playing Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs. I stopped when I began being in danger of being pursued. It’s my first horror game. I love watching people play horror games, and hate playing them. I’m too scared of the first Amnesia game and Resident Evil games to play them.

    I could use happy pretty games. And ones with easy enemies. I hate fighting enemies, but after playing the Gator Game, I’ve learned it gets boring quick. So good fighting games to learn to stand my ground would help.

    Also, what would help me do tasks while sneaking around those enemies in the Amnesia game I’m playing?
