Ham to Andre:
Any number of countries in Africa are vastly richer in baubles and soil than
Switzerland. But they are poor because they are impoverished in what they
value.
Andre:
And you really believe that the African man, woman and child should thank
the colonial powers for having pointed this out to them after having
pillaged, raped, exploited, extorted, murdered and sansacked the place (and,
may I add,continues to do so) in the name of 'civilising the savages' under
the auspices of a Protestant-Capitalist ideology.
This is the worst apology for capitalist practices I have heard: 'they are
too stupid to know what to value, doused over with the religiously inspired:
'Man does not live on bread alone'.
This is supposed to be, as Anthony suggested in an earlier post, a forum to
discuss philosophy and not some propaganda site extolling the virtues and
practices of one of the most divisive and destructive religiously
blessed political/economic ideas in the world today.
Does the Aborigine,does the Native not value his/her land? Fucking whites
still do not understand: they ARE his/ her land and everything it contains.
By raping their land we have raped them. And you, Ham are telling me that
they have themselves to blame. Bloody hell!! Where have I heard this a
million times before? Where have you been the past 100 years?
Ham:
I think reading it may correct some of your misconceptions.
Andre:
I have read enough Ham, and I do wonder who really has misconceptions here.
Shame!
For what it is fucking worth (not flamin' likely).
