Who’s the Bully?

… Colonial laws and systems still punish and restrict indigenous people everywhere from Canada to Mizoram…

The West talks about multiculturalism and the preservation of culture, but the cultural genocide caused passive-aggressively by just one single thing, like Coca-Cola, is worse than all the years of the Cultural Revolution of China. Some have lost forever their language, values, history, and culture to the extent that they will never return.

… The West manufactures reasons to bash other nations for violating human rights, while Congress gives Netanyahu fifty-eight standing ovations and 18 billion dollars.

…They open their arms very wide when oligarchs from Russia and China come to London, Vancouver, or Los Angeles. But when a million destitute people come — whose destitution has often been caused by the West, either in the past or in the present — they make it nearly impossible for them to enter Western countries…

In my heart, I love democracy, but I want global democracy, not just partial democracy. Until America and her cronies fall, the rest of the countries in the world will be under her dictatorial thumb. The bully must fall.
