Yes, these guys are just giving you the quick overview. The enemy is colonialism, which has transformed into the neocolonial financial system. This includes all the core countries like USA, Israel, Western Europe, Japan, Canada, South Korea, and Australia: together they control the world’s banks, international legal bodies, high-tech manufacturing, as well as the academic and journalistic training and distribution systems.
So the problem is actually much deeper than a few bad sources. The most valuable fields of study have been twisted by capitalism or basically just destroyed. Just take a look at how they’ve been dealing with climate change. Just because dealing with negative externalities on a business or society level is unprofitable or political suicide, we’ve been treating it like it can’t be mitigated by constraints on manufacturing, and new solutions can’t be invented. The Guardian has been posting the same stupid crap about spraying sulfur into the atmosphere for decades, and until recently they pretended investing in green energy + vehicles + industry could never be made profitable.
“Radio Free X” news outlets are generally all US State Department propaganda designed to discredit and de-legitimize their geopolitical adversaries, famously the USSR and PRC, but also Cuba, etc. It’s all very real.
Do other countries not condemn us ultimately for this stuff? Like Russia invaded another nation and the whole world ‘sanctioned’ them economically, why has no one sanctioned US for these mass injustices?
countries? not really, wed get sanctioned to hell and back and we mostly are not strong enough (like china, russia) to withstand it without collapsing. we can’t do that just yet.
people though? yeah a lot of us are really mad at the empire. its nicer to be blissfully ignorant.
The US has held hegemonic dominance over at least the western world economicly, culturally, and militarily for the past few decades. It’s really hard to go against that so a lot of countries got on board. Some got really rich because of it.
I think of it this way. When your ready about Roman history, you usually see a map that shows the reach of their empire, but not really the boundaries of what you’d consider the core of the empire. Those maps show the extent of their political and military reach.
So just imagine how history books will show the American Empire. The US has hundreds of military bases, everywhere. Its a global empire. It’d be impressive if it weren’t so awful. I mean, can you imagine what life would be like if you lived in a country that has a resource the US wants? It must be a nightmare.
Some countries do call out the US Empire for what it is. Palestine, the former USSR, the PRC, Cuba, DPRK, South Africa, Iran, the Russian Federation, all countries the US Empire thoroughly demonizes and propagandizes against as much as it can.
The good news is that the Empire is crumbling, so hopefully we can overthrow it and replace it with a Socialist system.
Is this real or some kind of joke? I’m just now learning about all of this and am almost traumatized honestly.
Real.
All of the “radio free X” are CIA outlets.

All but Radio Free America.
Excellent bit.
Oh dude the CIA has their fingers in soooooooooo much shit in the era between WWII and… now? It’s all published on their web site.

You see, the countries that have stood up against the US are the ones that suffer the sanctions because the US dominates the world financial system.
None of us can stand up to its military power. It is the class bully.

The US has hundreds more millitary bases around the world than any other country. It dominates the world financially via Imperialism, it intentionally underdevelops countries in the global south in order to have them reliant on US food exports so the US gets cheap imports.

No joke. Same goes for Radio Free Europe and Voice of America, among others. They’re US state propaganda outlets.
