If there was an equal distribution of resources everyone I know would have their lives get significantly worse; basically anyone who owns a car has their opinion on literally anything invalidated, the working class in america is so complicit with all the bad things happening in the global south I do think they all are class traitors. Thats not to say everyone in america is exclusively bad, largely bipoc and lgbt groups are pretty much innocent in all this. I think the west owes an unpayable debt to the global south and the only way the global south will be able to cash in on it is if they engage in the same colonial behavior that was done to them against the imperial core, maybe colonial is not the right word for it; reverse colonialism? I just think that the direction of treats should be reversed and theres no way for the west and global south to make peace for the centuries of colonial violence. I dont even view it as a returning the wealth stolen during colonialism, I think it should go on far beyond that, far beyond the repatriation of museum artifacts, the seizure of machinery needed, the seizure of basically any property the global south needs to develop, I think the global south should strip the west far more than the west stripped it, I see it as a necessary bit of revenge.

-haha I mean hows your day going?

      Worldwide GDP per capita for the last decade has been around $11k. Given that purchasing power tends to be higher in peripheral countries, I would say that at least 10% of Americans have a worse QoL than the global average.
