I feel so bad for people in my industry who are not leaving the USA. Until I talk to them and they dismiss other options haughtily.

It's a pretty serious historical investigation. I'm not an actual historian, I can only gesture to the words of world systems theorists. I just do takes and book reports for now. Not a real Marxist.

It's important to make a distinction between the "imperialism" of the Roman empire and the 20th century imperialist structure which coalesced in the 20s-60s, likewise we must distinguish between the existence of torture throughout history (often tenuously supported by Victorian hobnobbing and the ability to make a shitty little website that shows up on Google and little else) and the trail of forensic evidence we have stretching back from the SBU's detention centers where they electrocuted babushkas thru the kidneys (I'm not kidding) all the way to Malaysia

Why do you guys spend like 10 years having fruitless conversations with Americans we can walk out. We can leave
