However, I never thought that people from the developed countries can stand up for the poor and the weak, critizing their own government and bank system

I think it is the duty of all who recognise these ways that big business, banking groups and governments keep 3rd world debt slavery going.

I think it is a bit different in China as sadly it is mainly your own government keeping such a wide poverty gap between different classes of people (I think). I only say this because China has such a closed system that I think they keep a strong hold on their natural resources.

E.g. China has a massive proportion of Silicon

China is by far the world's largest producer of silicon, including silicon content for ferrosilicon and silicon metal. Around 5.4 million metric tons of silicon was produced in China in 2020, which accounted for about two-thirds of the global silicon production that year.

This is one thing that puts China in a position of economic power, as silicon wafers are a primary component in the smartphones most people have, or aspire to have.

The worst places for our western banks backed by their governments to pull their Machiavellian double bluffs creating debt slavery are usually in African countries.

Anyway, yeah it is something that makes me angry, and especially it makes me angry when I meet people who don't care about these truths and say "that's just the way our governments and banks exercise power."

To which I respond...

"If it was you and your family living in poverty, watching your children die of cholera and other diseases that can be easily cured if the right medication is available, then you'd have a different opinion. But it isn't, the same reasons why those other people have to live in such poverty is the same reason why the country you live in has such a high standard of living and diseases like cholera don't even exist because the food and water supply is sterilized... because you live in a rich nation, which keeps it that way in a large part through 3rd world debt slavery."

At which point they either have nothing to say or try to fight me. When you confront a moron with an undeniable truth that shatters their world view they very often resort to violence.

Lol, I don't have this conversation that often as I'm a lover not a fighter... but I have had to defend myself once or twice when I was younger over this issue and others.

People are crazy, and I guess I'd include myself in that, to be honest but as I've got older I've become more settled and more at peace in my mind.

But still, sometimes the truth needs telling (in poetic form) even if it annoys some people 😂 I performed this poem in a night in Liverpool and one woman was crying, and I asked her why she was so upset and she said "I'm sad that you think that is the way the world is" and I said "I don't believe the world is that way, I know that a small portion of people in this world make poverty happen to enrich themselves and the economies they represent, and that is sad and something worth anyone's tears."

Anyway, it is one of those subjects. I haven't presented all the evidence that is out there both on the internet and at 'companies house' in London (where you can request company reports and tax returns under freedom of information laws) that prove what I've expressed in poetic form about 3rd world debt slavery. I have seen most of this evidence though, when I was younger and an activist who was part of a group of University-educated researchers who followed the money trails to prove who (from UK and European companies) owned which resource mines in countries they had no business being in, and why they had received the contract to buy these resource-rich pieces of land.

The money trail always led back to a bank-brokered sale to satisfy a debt that hadn't been paid on time.

= the 3rd world debt slavery process.

Not all anarchists want to burn everything down, some (like me) want people to see the evidence and wake up to what banking and government do hand-in-hand and not vote on mass as that would shatter their finely crafted veneer of democracy. In my view, when there isn't a political party that provides a choice for everyone (crazy peace-loving hippies like me included) then it isn't a true democracy as atrocities, such as 3rd world debt slavery, will continue to happen in everyone's name, if they vote.

At the moment I deface my voting card by drawing a picture of Darth Vader and writing "I'm not voting for the empire."
