This is vile. Andrew, you should delete this article.
White Europeans negotiate? Implying non-white non-Europeans are incapable? Even if we memory hole the hundreds of years of colonialism and deny the existence of its current formation, neocolonialism, we would still need to forget how the CIA carried out regime change throughout the world. You objectively have no idea what you're talking about.
For God's sake, read Kwame Nkrumah's "Neocolonialism" and seriously consider Edward Seyed's "Orientalism".
Doubt you'll heed any of my advice, but man... this is bad.
And I didn't get into mail-order Rabbi, and professional shit-stirrer Shmuley. He's gross and shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone on the left or the right. I didn't think a worse " influencer" than Alex Jones existed but somehow Israel found him.
Andrew, either you missed the point of my critique or you're trying to gish gallop away from it.
I'll say it bluntly. Your article is so oozing with an enormous amount of Orientalism (the view that other nations, cultures & ethnicities are not as advanced/enlightened/developed as the western white cultures). Not only is this completely false, it demonstrates how normalized white supremacist ideology has become within your consciousness.
Wake up brother. It's never too late to enlighten yourself. I would add Freires "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" to your study list on top of my other suggestions.
Who dropped the bomb on Hiroshima? Who napalmed Vietnam? Who carpet bombed Cambodia & Yugoslavia? Who overthrows governments that dare to nationalize an industry all around the globe? Who refuses to negotiate with Russia? Who refuses to disarm Israel?
You only know of such things because you live in a free country. Other countries wipe out the people they oppose. Japan, Vietnam etc thrive. To add to this, you are still looking for perfection among humans which is not possible. The difference to seek is who fosters prosperity vs those who promote genocide for power.

Go look who brought down slavery. The British.

Good luck comrade.
And whose people actually stood on the moon and looked back at Earth?

Who's responsible for 2 million Korean deaths and the destruction of 90% of civilian infrastructure in the Korean War?
