You sound like you are trying to trick people into getting their skin rasped off by sharks.

The malevolence of US foriegn policy is woven like a tapestry throughout modern history.

I’m not sure that anyone has been mean-spirited enough to write a single source detailing all of it in one place, but perhaps someone else can suggest one.

If you want to know how it gets hidden from you, Manufacturing Consent is old but a good place to start.

I haven’t heard it myself but the Behind the Bastards podcast about Henry Kissinger is often recommended and probably covers a significant amount of US involvement in foriegn genocides.

Wait, really?

Unfortunately this meme is only part of it. Things like covering up Unit 731 didn’t even get mentioned.

Real.

A lot of this is really old so it’s the kind of thing my parents casually mentioned when I was growing up.

But then we learn the details at University, either in history classes or more broadly in any kind of discussion of colonialism, neoimperialism, etc.

None of us can stand up to its military power. It is the class bully.

In case they need a massive public distraction from something else.

This part’s interesting

Mary Dietz, in her essay “Trapping The Prince”, writes that Machiavelli’s agenda was not to be satirical, as Rousseau had argued, but instead was “offering carefully crafted advice (such as arming the people) designed to undo the ruler if taken seriously and followed.”[83] By this account, the aim was to reestablish the republic in Florence. She focuses on three categories in which Machiavelli gives paradoxical advice:

He discourages liberality and favors deceit to guarantee support from the people. Yet Machiavelli is keenly aware of the fact that an earlier pro-republican coup had been thwarted by the people’s inaction that itself stemmed from the prince’s liberality.

He supports arming the people despite the fact that he knows the Florentines are decidedly pro-democratic and would oppose the prince.

He encourages the prince to live in the city he conquers. This opposes the Medici’s habitual policy of living outside the city. It also makes it easier for rebels or a civilian militia to attack and overthrow the prince.

Machiavelli wanted a Republic, another inyerpretation is he put in a bunch of bad advice in the hopes of them taking it and being overthrown.

This is like someone with a micropenis criticizing the genitals of a kitten.

There are two endings. In both, the brainwashing treatment temporarily prevents the main character from committing violence.

In the movie after he tries to commit suicide he wakes up in hospital and the effect of the brainwashing has worn off so he goes back to violence.

In the book the government undo the brainwashing in a bid to get him to support them but he later loses the urges all on his own.

Maybe if you didn’t invade neighbouring countries ECCAS could see you as a viable leader.

At leat in A Clockwork Orange the point of the footage wasn’t to try to persuade them that violence is good.

The UK countries and parts of Russia are both wrong.

They = keeps speaking their own language to you, but automatically make it 10x louder.

Its only the Parisians. If you start in English they rightly see that as rude.

But if you start in French they also hate it and are at pains to let you know how much your French sucks and how they couldn’t understand it.

Which, would be fair enough, but seems suspicious when the rest of France can.

The one for England is wrong anyway.

If you come to England and attempt to speak to them in bad English, you don’t get “no reaction” you get them shouting at you in the mistaken belief that raising their voices makes it easier to understand.

I was always taught that it’s disrespectful to begin in English. The idea is I should be able to use basic phrases, to clearly apoloize for not speaking their language, and then hopefully we switch to my language.

Launching straight into English in someone else’s country seems arrogant.

Sounds like France should be light blue but leave Paris as it is, many of them get so angry if you try French.

The map is only for if you try to speak their language.
