Because I recently had to crumple up a cracKKKa who wandered into this community, uhh, let me be clear:

EM POC ONLY

Thank you. With that aside, welcome to this week’s featured EM POC thread.

How are all my comrades doing?

    The global south experience: the “civilized” world subjugates and enslaves you and steals natural resources from you for hundreds of years, after independence fought or not your nation is still going to get screwed over by neo-colonialism or western sponsored fascist coups or sanctions, all the resources used by the north were used to make funko pops that cost your pay to produce and your life to buy, also those funko pops are made so inefficiently that they destroy the Earth, with the earth getting less liveable your nation is unable to do anything to stop it because it didn’t have the time to develop, a lot of the times people can’t even afford AC units, and if you try to go a global north country legally you’ll get denied, and you’ll get shot if you do it illegally.
    Anyhow I got a miswak last week, lowkey didn’t know they were this good damn.

      I think neocolonialism happening today is also considerably more efficient at stealing wealth

      Our results show that in 2015 the North net appropriated from the South 12 billion tons of embodied raw material equivalents, 822 million hectares of embodied land, 21 exajoules of embodied energy, and 188 million person-years of embodied labour, worth $10.8 trillion in Northern prices

      For instance, 21 exajoules of energy would be enough to cover the annual energy requirements of building out necessary infrastructure to ensure that all 6.5 billion people in the global South have access to decent housing, public transport, healthcare, education, sanitation, communication, etc. (Kikstra et al., 2021a). Eight hundred and twenty-two million hectares of land, which is twice the size of India, would in theory be enough to provide nutritious food for up to 6 billion people, depending on land productivity and diet composition (Poore and Nemecek, 2018).

      On a personal level part of the global south experience for me has been being told by USAmericans that I must have solidarity with the people who supported and were part of the invasion of my country because they are also oppressed minorities

        Yeah no fuck that. It’s our job in the US to have solidarity with the global south, not the other way around. Plenty of minorities get by without taking part in white supremacy. Signing up for the military is an active choice a person makes. It’s a conscious choice to kill people you don’t know for your own personal gain.

        Like there are hitmen in the US with a higher code of ethics.

      And said nations are the main cause of the planet getting destroyed. And we’re the ones that get hit first. Oh and these guys get to define who are humanised and not. Yes the people responsible for the greatest genocides in human history and the greatest ones to come along with the annihilation of most life on earth get to define who is to be dehumanised. Humanity is a massive joke

        I simply didn’t know how much I needed it, because I can’t stay in one place and I don’t like the feeling of toothpaste in my mouth, but I can walk around while using a miswak, I can even use it in bed before I sleep
