The problem I have with you my main man in England Rich is that you and I both know you are not an ignorant, uninformed, uneducated foolish person. You are fully informed.
You are not the rich and powerful either in the UK.
But, you believe in what?
A long time ago I had some conservative members of PoFo tell me or try to tell me who I was in terms of my identity. I set them straight.
People who do not know who they are and who they owe their loyalties to because of their entire lifetime's experiences in this world? And their roots and knowing their own histories in the scheme of human history are really fools Rich.
No, Rich, capitalism is an economic system that is a step above slavery times. But it is not equality and about sharing prosperity with all of the ones doing the work and putting in the efforts everyday. No. It is about having a small group own and another group not own and it becomes a power struggle Rich my main man.
Do you think I live with the lie that Puerto Rico and the Puerto Ricans are a powerful Empire that can destroy the world and my ambitions by having Puerto Rico become an independent nation is about creating a world Empire? When all it is a little Caribbean island that is 100 miles by 35 miles long and has about 3.3 million people on it? Boricua empire shit is for deluional fools.
But you got a nation founded on getting the British Empire and King George ousted and talking about some radical constitution and a fledgling democracy and then betraying its own foundational principles by imitating a dead European Empire that used capitalism as a way of living off of other nations via imperialism.
They lose their Empire. They have some bootlicker like Sunak in charge for a while. Truss throws in the towel and Boris is a middle class fool....Prince Harry marries a mixed race woman from Los Angeles...and the beat goes on.
No, capitalism is not about equal rights and human rights, or sharing the wealth via socialism and basics like universal health care and the NHS in the UK...created because paying for health care while London is bombed by the Third Reich is not logical.
Yet, the Yankee government is so attached to making money that they refuse to pass legislation to make it happen even though the vast majority of the American voters are for it.
Why? Money rules and it is corrupt. It has both parties in their pockets. But the American public has been brainwashed that any form of socialize medicine, socialized education, socialized housing and basics are not to be implemented. Because it is against the for profit model. The only one worth a damn as a model.
It is not.
But these events teach more than anything else in the world Rich.
I am not snowed by the rascally stuff you come up with.
Qing dynasty. They were the ones who humilated the Chinese people. Folding to the British Drug Pushers and the Opium Wars.
The Chinese have a very long documented history. They are not Yankees with teflon historic memories. They have memories like Elephants.
Come on Rich....are you going to say those comments are not racist now? Be real.
Amii Stewart said it best. Get Real Rich. My main man in England.
