I'm a smart dumb niqqa who recently started admitting some harsh truths.

The Atlantic Slave Trade was perpetrated by Africans, and Arabs as well as Europeans. This makes it impossible to cast Europeans as THE villian. Basically, whoever could profit from it was drawn in. Money is kind of the boogeyman here.

Old school Imperialism is one thing, but in 2014 we are facing an economic Imperialism that is so enticing that the subjects sign up for it. The Imperial powers will bring war to those who resist but for every war there are 5473 "leaders" who get with the Imperial program. We jumped on Iraq and Afghanistan and the Arab Spring developed seemingly spontaneously. A string of new democracies ready to participate in the Global Economy. Almost sounds like a good investment from a purely economic standpoint. In essence: the raw material is harnessed by totally destitute people in "developing" countries and processed by Imperial powers.. And sold back to the workers in the countries where the raw material was extracted.

Although the Imperial powers will use any means to promote their enterprises, the will absolutely use violence when it is the most cost effective option. Including motherfukcing nuclear bombs if that's what it would take. This point is critical.

It seems like it would be impossible to unseat them at this point. Laws only apply to those UNDER THE THUMB of the Imperialists. One with power over you can enforce a law on you. You can only beg them to obey their own law.

I done heard all the one sentence self help bullsh't. SOHH I am talking about some kind of actual plan. Seems like a long shot.

Japan, but from the 989
There is only one plan in existence that would work and is working. Democracy and population shift. "Majority to Minority" Shift. Then after that we become the Imperialists. Then the cycle begins again.

But Obama dropping bombs on motherfukcers is no better than Bush bombing motherfukcers. Making non white people part of the ruling class isn't really what I could consider solving the problem.

Aiight. I do have an idea.

We gotta somehow develop a "we" and "they" model. "We" will be the people who think that the people who generate the wealth should benefit from it. Even though a coffee picker migt not be able to ship it around the world, they should have some basic minimum standard of living that is pegged to the profit of the company. Likewise the guy at the top should make some multiple of the entry level salary. I am talking 100x not 6643728x. Companies have to peg their prices to the cost of the product not the maximum they can get for, let's say your grandma's life saving meds.

"They" are the azzholes who believe that killing off natives is an economic necessity. The ones who start war for profit.

Somehow "we" gotta stop doing what "they"say. Obama can't wahe war on Iran. Obama and every politician in the country couldn't even run up on West Virginia... Without hordes of "us" to get "our" azzes shot off on the ground. Fly the jets. Scuba dive. Parachute. Wal Mart can't be anything without legions of "us" working through holidays and sh't. Sugar. Diamonds. All of it. Grunts digging in dirt worldwide.

SOHH basically: "we" make the companies prove that they are sharing (see above) and then "we" agree to work for them. "They" will still be out there but they would atrophy as "we" leave their ranks and join with the rest of "us".

The trick is indeed starting the ball rolling but it's quite like the elephant with a rope tied around his leg who is convinced he can't snap it like we snap a thread. His mind is conquered from having a chain around his leg as a baby. Maybe "we" can't, but if "we" can't - then "they" are right about "us". And we kind of deserve what we get.
