Re: [OT] Nation bashing
Andres, I don’t know how well traveled you are, but a lot of the problems you are talking about are present here in America. We have unemployment, poverty, homeless, starving, and etc. I don’t want to sound leftist, rightist, or communist, but a lot of that has to do with class struggle. In my opinion, A corporation is only concerned with it’s stockholder’s not country so they could give a damn if people are poor in Argentina or America. It just so happens that other factors are involved. Someone has to be blamed if people are starving, right.
Hypothetically, maybe Argentina blames the U.S., we blame someone else. For example Japan. This keeps allows some to maintain power, gives rise to Nationalism, racism, and host of other isms. Keeps the focus off the real problems and solutions. Certain books by George Bernard Shaw capture these ideals.
A key to a happy successful country/people is the businesses and governments doing things that will make the country stronger in the long run vs. short term goals. The next thing is to set up a situation where the government is forced to be selfless and look out for the interests of the people.
In short, we are all being had by the MAN. You fill in the blanks
