    Prince and Serrano either do not know or do not care that previous bouts of European colonialism led to the deaths of millions of people around the world
    Prince is completely blind to his own motivations and where they inevitably lead.

    tbh these writers deserve to be minecrafted as much as the guy himself
    he knows exactly “where his intentions lead”, and it’s not that he “doesn’t care” about African/Latin lives, it’s that he actively wants them dead

    We should expect the crackers to go mask off, and even welcome their rhetoric. We should spit on the verminous refuse who give them the “benefit of the doubt” even after this.

    btw for the on-the-fence Latinos on here: how do you feel about that “Western” inclusiveness?

      Prince self consciously considers himself a christian crusader in the larpiest way possible. Dude ran blackwater back in the day. Pathetic that the writers are “giving him the benefit of the doubt” “don’t assume malice before ignorance” has poisoned people’s brains.

      grill-broke: “Why do those tumblr people say all us white people are racist? We just want to kill everyone who isn’t us and steal their stuff for laughs. Can’t they just let bygones be bygones? Slavery’s in the past!”

            Also do Asians even know that they are considerd Subhumans in the West?

            I was following several pro-PanAsia Asian American accounts on twitter (but then stopped following a few very vocal ones because I discovered they were unfortunately also racist towards literally anyone not Asian) who were upset with Asian Americans who they felt were sellouts for dumping not only on China and North Korea, but in some cases even their own parents of Chinese background and the twitter accounts said it was because these sellouts were just desperate to be accepted into American society.

            There are certainly Asian Americans who can see how they’re viewed and treated in Western countries thankfully; but unfortunately there are certainly sellouts who folks will immediately turn on the moment they say one good thing about China or defend it in any way at all. I’ve seen so many videos of vicious attacks on Asian folks, in addition to them flat out being sucker punched by complete strangers.

    Idk why liberals act like Wagner is some uniquely evil PMC when they don’t even prosecute this guy. He would 100% join the Russians if his assets weren’t at risk from doing so.

    Abe Lincoln once said that whenever he sees someone advocate for slavery, he has a desire to see them subjected to it personally. I feel the same way about colonialism.

    Later in the show Prince also resurrects another old popular favorite, The Enemy Within Is in League With the Enemy Without. “You get the BLM and the Hamas militias of the Democrat Party, very active in the United States this summer,” he says. “When that BLM or Hamas militia shows up to start wrecking things, you show them what law and order looks like, immediately.”

    Apparently every lib is hamas now.

    The great innovation of mid century American imperialism was the realization that direct political control of territory is a costly and unnecessary part of exerting imperial power. American economic imperialists of the mid century, such as Erik’s dad, where genuinely savvy operators who created a world economic system where ties of ownership and political influence guaranteed that they always got their pound of flesh from economic activity happening anywhere on the globe. Unfortunately for the legacy Edgar Prince’s big pile of cash, his kids don’t quite seem to understand that dynamic, and are fucking up what was a good thing for people like them.
