Reply #14: "we" didn't

[sweetheart]

"we", most of us here, are the ones who did not leave england, the
ones who stayed at home and read about a different life on the internet but did not actually go anywhere.

The huge immigrations to the US were brought about by the policies
of the industrial revolution, shifting people off the land to the
cities by using criminal government policies, like the highland clearances of scotland.

We did not go "to" somewhere, as much as away from somewhere. This
meme of the neoliberal globalism and the white mans justice has been
doing its disenfranchisement and enslavement of people thing for
centuries now, and they still don't get that wherever you go, there
you are, if you carry the white mans burden with you.

Hannah Arendt:

"The fact that the 'white man's burden' is either hypocrisy or racism
has not prevented a few of the best Englishmen from shouldering the
burden in earnest and making themselves the tragic and quixotic fools
of imperialism."
