If global wealth was distributed equally most Americans would be wealthier than they are
I remember reading this as well and it's insane. Most EU citizens would, obviously, be poorer than they are if that happened, and rightly so.
US citizens live in the imperial core, exist in a society that rests solely on genocide and a global network of exploitation, torture, and general horror on a planetary scale, and they don't even benefit from it. And the most amazing thing is, they don't even revolt. They might be the most pathetic of all in the :lmayo: world, while simultaneously being personally and deeply convinced they're the most rugged and hard to subdue people of the world.
Capitalists used to get this. The new deal was funded by empire and was done to stave off communist revolution. But still it was done. Now they can't even understand why they would do anything but rip the copper wire out of the walls of this country
