Huh? Colonial looting is often disguised as the natives voluntarily overpaying for a frivolous luxury, so this doesn't seem like a great counterargument.

Looking who pushed for it. It's not hard to see.

Our politicians are bribed, bullied and intimated to enrich a few at the expensive of us all.

Every single election is completely corrupt, do you really think all those billions that they pay to ALL parties are for nothing in return.

And if you don't toe the line you will be punished.

When you realise that this is the case all the insanity makes sense. Where BLM supporters will gladly provide awards for individuals with actual swastikas on their skin. Where states will move to completely deindustrialisation without consultation of the citizens. Where countries won't grow their own food. Where they buy the debt of the those that are oppressing them.

It's all madness until you realise we are all without sovereignty.
