Countries getting IMF loans. Used to buy into the premise that poor countries needed "development" and that we were gracious enough to provide it to them so they could join us in the wonders of the 21st century. Then I became a communist and learned that actually the IMF was used to reverse decolonization by razing the economy and burying the recipient under mountains of debt so they'd always be subservient to the first world.

I fell for the "micro loan in poor countries" propaganda. :deeper-sadness:
