Prince and Serrano either do not know or do not care that previous bouts of European colonialism led to the deaths of millions of people around the world
Prince is completely blind to his own motivations and where they inevitably lead.

tbh these writers deserve to be minecrafted as much as the guy himself
he knows exactly "where his intentions lead", and it's not that he "doesn't care" about African/Latin lives, it's that he actively wants them dead

We should expect the crackers to go mask off, and even welcome their rhetoric. We should spit on the verminous refuse who give them the "benefit of the doubt" even after this.

btw for the on-the-fence Latinos on here: how do you feel about that "Western" inclusiveness?

Prince self consciously considers himself a christian crusader in the larpiest way possible. Dude ran blackwater back in the day. Pathetic that the writers are "giving him the benefit of the doubt" "don't assume malice before ignorance" has poisoned people's brains.

The entire human race owes tumblr a huge apology. They were fucking right about everything.

It’s hilarious how correct Shit Reddit Says was too and how hated they were

grill-broke: "Why do those tumblr people say all us white people are racist? We just want to kill everyone who isn't us and steal their stuff for laughs. Can't they just let bygones be bygones? Slavery's in the past!"

doubt youre gonna find any on the fence latinos here

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lots of Latino people want to be included in the “western” umbrella for some cucked reason

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

There was a giant thread about a month ago on whether Latinos are "Western" or not.

I'm not looking to stir that pot again, but just providing context on what Hello Kitty's probably referring to.

Idk why liberals act like Wagner is some uniquely evil PMC when they don’t even prosecute this guy. He would 100% join the Russians if his assets weren’t at risk from doing so.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

They all forgot how much they hated blackwater i guess.

Prince’s co-host Mark Serrano then warned him that listeners might hear his words and believe he means them: “People on the left are going to watch this,” said Serrano, “and they’re going to say, wait a minute, Erik Prince is talking about being a colonialist again.”

Prince responded: “Absolutely, yes.” He then added that he thought this was a great concept not just for Africa but also for Latin America.

The fuck?

Prince is an evil warlord who was in charge of the blackwater PMC back in the day. His sister is the heir to some fortune and a very important republican. He is a christian fascist wannabe crusader. Just the absolute worst scum you could imagine.

Death is too kind a fate, but I'm a nice guy so I'll wish it upon him anyway.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

Prince himself was the nepo baby of Edgar Prince, formally of the car parts manufacturer Prince Corporation. Daddy gave half the family fortune away to his workers when he died. The kids wanted nothing to do with the company and sold it to Johnson Controls.

He married into the the DeVos fortune. The DeVos' were huge Trump supporters. Betsy DeVos was Trump's Secretary of Education.

So one could conclude this is the out loud part of Trump's foreign policy if he wins. Doubt anyone would ask Trump about Erik or the DeVos family influence directly.

Why are these racist fuck heads in charge of my private military murder squads??

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I think they literally just have a fantasy that they're gonna eventually get to unleash their death squads to massacre all their political enemies. It's the whole "we got all the guns, just try it" mentality

KKKrackers can't stop being evil imperialists

Abe Lincoln once said that whenever he sees someone advocate for slavery, he has a desire to see them subjected to it personally. I feel the same way about colonialism.

This man would be running the Force Publique for King Leopold if he had lived in the 1880s.

Political assassination is a sign of a healthy and virtuous society

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, more or less. Can't keep a system running if you don't prune the warlords, reactionaries, and fascists occaisionally.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

no more half measures walter

Later in the show Prince also resurrects another old popular favorite, The Enemy Within Is in League With the Enemy Without. “You get the BLM and the Hamas militias of the Democrat Party, very active in the United States this summer,” he says. “When that BLM or Hamas militia shows up to start wrecking things, you show them what law and order looks like, immediately.”

Apparently every lib is hamas now.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They’re going to prove to republicans that they’re good boys and not Hamas by oppressing Muslims and Arabs

Him and his family would’ve been [redacted] in literally any other period in history. We live in such bland times.

Utterly remarkable that a guy like this can go outside every day and not end up being buried in a lunchbox

The great innovation of mid century American imperialism was the realization that direct political control of territory is a costly and unnecessary part of exerting imperial power. American economic imperialists of the mid century, such as Erik's dad, where genuinely savvy operators who created a world economic system where ties of ownership and political influence guaranteed that they always got their pound of flesh from economic activity happening anywhere on the globe. Unfortunately for the legacy Edgar Prince's big pile of cash, his kids don't quite seem to understand that dynamic, and are fucking up what was a good thing for people like them.

We've had colonialism, yes, but what about second colonialism?

YOUVE HAD SECOND COLONIALISM TOO.

Ahh, but what about second neocolonialism?
