What does that tweet reference, who was supposedly using people from the global south as rhetorical devices, in what situation and for what end? This seems like a very 'context matters' situation.
this tweet is an answer to the numerous leftists (most of them from the global south) criticizing democrats for being imperialist ghouls
and it’s saying, to those leftists, "stfu 'people from the global south' is just a rhetorical construct, americans matter more than it"
i.e. the tweeter blatantly doesn’t care about the numerous, very real lives from the global south impacted by american imperialists
I still don't get it. But I don't think that's your fault.
congressmen should care about their country, not other countries that have almost no unique benefit to their nation.
murderers should care about their family, not other families whose members they murdered!!!
also, "no unique benefit", my guy the global north was built on the stolen wealth from everywhere else
resource acquisition can be accomplished almost anywhere, each individual nation that gets resources extracted from it is unimportant
Go back to Reddit please
Yeah, this feels like one of those people who say things like, "I'm not gonna vote for Trump or Harris, they both support Israel and as such, support genocide" assholes who ignore the fact that Trump wants to do a hell of a lot more genocide than Harris.
