Why is everyone on this website actually stupid. Yes even the most marginalised US-American benefits from the privileges afforded to them by living in the Imperial Core. Why do you think Indigenous US-Americans live, on average, in better conditions than Indigenous Americans in Latin America? Why is it that Indigenous US-Americans living on the poorest most isolated and neglected reservations have a better quality of life then the worst off Indigenous Latin American tribe? I’ll answer for you: It’s Imperialism
Indigenous and mestizos. We all in Latam are mestizos of Indigenous cultures and black and brown people and whatever other category, and every time I see "recommendations" of how to survive being empoverisher by western capitalism, its a westerner (not just a yanki) eating our food bought in cans at cheap prices. Even the marginalised westerner have access to everything that is stolen every day from us while we die hearing them whine about why one does nothing to stop imperialism with their mouths full of my ancestral vegetables, fruits and grains, sitting in a place made with the wood covered in our blood, holding a phone made with our minerals and metals and lives.
But this is a truth that they will never accept bc they really think their lives are above ours and they can't and will never stop being an imperialists. That's why every time a global southerners speaks of this ALWAYS shows up marginalised ppl from all identities from the empire or wannabe to tell us to shut up.
Ppl here have told me to buy expensive ass vegan foods and canned food bc "is cheaper" and gave me a price in dollars when I asked about nutrition under western caused famine. I felt disgust bc the food named was my native foods, yet they can buy it bc they take it from me. Canned food is not accessible to survive a fucking famine. I can't even buy fucking potatoes nor have a safe place to put them. We created the fucking potatoes and where in all the territories.
That's the privilege and ignorance of the west.
third worlders complaining about global trade like us pausing our imports wouldn't send their economy into a decade long recession. say thank you for us funding your employment
The second a third worlder is too uppity the average yankee turns into Hitler
