The more you read about modern history the more you realize the Western world has essentially been the world's mafia for the past 500 years. Colonialism is essentially showing up on peoples shores and demanding a shake down. Followed by embedding yourself within a community and demanding a cut of every transaction while providing little of meaningful value. What an extractionary legacy.
