I mean, there was that one time when they were treated like a Global South nation.
"The exploited browns act all uppity, hence our
CIA basesNGOs shoulddrop all the charity facades and focus entirely in regime change and well poisoningfocus on teaching democracy to the poors.Next time you took a picture with a poor child in your exotic vacations, make sure to lecture them about their ignoracy"

Am I so out of touch?
No, it's half of humanity who are wrong.
