Unlike most places in Europe, America has never had a revolution where they deposed the ruling class and those with political power. Americans tell themselves they live in a free country with a government run by the people. It is increasingly obvious that that is a lie.

They have never had an actual revolution akin to French revolution and the July revolution.

And the wealthy die or stop participating within around 30 yrs of becoming wealthy normally. And compete themselves across idiology. Soros, Koch, Musk and Moskowitz all have very different packages of political beliefs they advocate vs each other
Half of Albania is butchered like this, beaches and green being destroyed to make resorts for the tourists to come. Go see Dermi or Vuno and then go see Borsh how clean it is, with no excavations at all or resorts being build.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Don't forget that resorts et al typically belong to international capital, and the tourists rarely leave the premises. So what does the local economy get out of it? A few maids salary to clean up the tourist's shit?
what about tax revenue ?
So no tax the locals. During the construction phase there is some legitimate economy uplift (similar to datacenters). But after that nothing.

This kind of talk used to be a lot more common in our grandparents' time. It's sad to see the best and the brightest of our times going back to it.
Criticise a jewish person for something completely unrelated: infinite amount of green accounts created on the spot come in and start vaguely referencing "ThE DaRkEsT TiMe In HiStOrY".
