(5,178 posts)I'd like to say you are wrong. Couple of decades ago I may have even argued against you.
But at every juncture along the way Wall St and its conscience lacking investors have stymied attempts at self-determination for struggling people across the globe. They have done an excellent job of funding & helping form exactly the types of governments they desire to increase corporate rape & pillage of the worlds natural resources and the worlds people for short term profits.
There is nothing that causes them to blink. Brutal dictators, mass starvation, death squads, drug cartels, terrorists, ocean acidification and even climate change. They literally couldn't care less.
Now they have taken all they have learned and are using it against us. Quite naturally. We are, after all, just another resource pool in the eyes of multinational corporations and the people who support them.
