I assure you, no one of any color from anywhere in the world is paying for anything I have. You should know by now what to do with your virtue signaling ..

@Captain_Feelgood Your access to cheap gas comes at the expense of the invasions and regime change in Arab countries that creates misery and refugees.
Your access to cheap tropical fruit comes at the expense of peasants dispossessed from their land throughout Latin America and killed by death squads when they resist.
Etc, etc...
Your denial doesn't make it untrue. It's just the current equivalent of Holocaust Denial…

@Krish55 I guess I should have posted this for you as well..

@Krish55 Seriously though,, what does my white privilege have to do with this post? It's just mocking his silly claim that his family HAD TO move here,,, home of the very people he claims ruined the life of his ancestors... It's really not that hard a concept to grasp.

@Captain_Feelgood Hard? It's only hard because your White Privilege places it out of your experience. I'm here for the same reason: US regime change in the 50s and 60s that replaced democracy with dictatorship.

@Krish55 MMmm,,,you do know Indonesia was a Communist country before we got there,,,yes? And I'm HOPING you know the abuse of the people was there before the US got there to try and save them?? Just curious..

@Captain_Feelgood The Sukarno gov't of 1965 was not communist. You are merely engaging in the same close-minded, dichotomous thinking that Islamic fanatics engage in: "If you are not with us, you are an evil infidel."

@Krish55 You are simply wrong... Sukarno was known for how his balancing act of "Nasakom" (nationalism, religion and communism) had unravelled. His most significant pillar of support, the PKI, was effectively eliminated by the other two pillars—the army and political Islam; and the army was on the way to unchallenged power. In March 1967, Sukarno was stripped of his remaining power by Indonesia's provisional Parliament, and Suharto was named Acting President. In March 1968, Suharto was formally elected president. It really is easy to look it up.

@Captain_Feelgood The content of your last post contradicts that of the previous one.

I'm trying to cash in on my "White Privilege" but have been unable to do so. Can you help?

@Alienbeing You have already reaped that privilege:

1. By the fact that you are alive and haven't been shot like so many black folks.
2. By the fact that you haven't had your country invaded and destroyed by the US on pretexts, unlike countries in Latin America and the Middle East.
3. By the fact that you're able to enjoy a decent life here based on products originating from other parts of the world for which the natives have lost their land and their lives.

• And of course the privilege of pretending to be innocent in all this and clueless about it - as if you are an Alienbeing who just landed on Earth!
