I hate how a benchmark of success in our perceptions of other countries seems to be artificial benchmarks of capitalism, Wal-marts and McDonald’s, Starbucks, etc.
It’s like we’re homogenising the world and stripping out the culture and soul of everything.
Maybe people in the middle East don’t want to have to be clean shaven, wear a tie, work at a cubicle, drive a saturn to a job they hate, be a replaceable cog in a faceless machine that doesn’t give a damn about them. We’re stealing their culture and replacing it with what we think is right.
This is exactly what got us in this predicament.
Well that and ALLEGEDLY sponsoring death squads.
Central and South America should be really pissed off at us right now.
Sorry for the ‘80s guys.
This makes no sense, but I’m tired and it’s super late at night.
I might clean up this post later.
