> cruelty isn’t inherently profitable
agreed. But it takes tremendous amounts of stupidity to not be profitable while cruelly exploiting millions of people and their resources.
Sure. But we're discussing Victorians here.
I don't know man.
The great famine of Ireland, The great famine of India, and even The late Victorian Holocaust is a thing.
It is also well documented where other empire wanted to help the starving people, but denied because it would make them looked bad.
I really can not see that they are not lack of morality.
other than the fact that success is mostly just luck (and lack of morality), not hard work.
And also millions of poor and suffering people from the colonized countries. Millions of them died of famine. I'm not sure how much we can learn from those elites.
which one you called terrorist?
surely the one creating such destructions and deaths no?
Are you 11 or something?
Their other opponents, namely the US & Israel, killing thousands innocent of people every year, yet you don't really mind.
The problem is, Indonesia is so diverse. Bajau people and the Javanese (the ones discussed in the article) have nothing in similar in their way of life.
Asking Javanese to learn from Bajau people is like asking ordinary Americans to learn from the Inuit, just because they happen to be citizen of same nation state.
It's relevant for all humanity.
Not relevant only for those that have lost theirs.
Nice try Zionist drone.
it does not care. it just want to make more money.
I hope we can, since it's most likely related and have overlapping perpetrators.
It's clear as day how evil this country is, even from their inception.
There are lots of them in this very site. That's why most posts about ongoing genocide voted down immediately.
This post is ranked very low, most likely it's getting lots of down vote.
As others have pointed out about the movement, it's for people who think they are smart and doing good things. It's just fitting that he is a Zionist who think he is a good person.
Well, I can't even comprehend how mind like yours works.

Royal protocol meant that nobody should contribute more than the Queen. It was suggested
that he gave half the sum contributed by Victoria.
As they say, you can not make a blind man see
After some discussion with some friends from the former "colonizer", it just occurred to me that apparently it's very hard for people from those countries to appreciate their countries' role for a lot of massacre, genocide or any man made disaster like this kind of famine.
They always find ways to deflect their countries responsibilities with some "reasons", although they generally agree that any kind of genocide is wrong.
I think this is what we witness today too, with some massacres and genocides going on. People from those colonizer countries just can't relate to the victims.
Maybe deep down they acknowledge that those genocides are good, or at least necessary, because those things are what brings them prosperity they enjoy today.
There was a time when I was this naive, but it's surely a very long time ago
Why this kind of news can popup here regularly, while any news about other massacres always get banned?
As a long time rubyist, I know that Andy's Glimmer preceded Yehuda's.
every ruling class loves this paper
maybe stop living inside your cave and travel more?
I've visited many muslim countries and know a lot of muslims from different regions, so believe me: most muslims just don't care if you're gay or straight.
Just don't flaunt it in front of people's face, you're gold.
Of course it's easier to call people with different opinion "retarded" than to really think.
Btw, did you happen to also watch countless videos where israel bombed the whole city, hospitals, schools and all, and kills tens of thousands of people?
Did you watch videos about countless crimes israeli soldiers and settlers do before and after 7 Oct?
Did you read somewhere that today millions of people starving and israeli soldiers are actively blocking aids for them?
Yeah, I see that you live in a western-media bubble.
The israeli genocide and countless crimes are well documented for anyone care enough to see.
But if you want to live inside your comfortable bubble, that's fine too I guess.
It's not even leftist, let alone extreme.
It's our industy that's so zionist centric, that even a neutral and humane point of view seems leftist.
Indeed, the usage of generous application of excessive violence tends to be effective to solve a lot of problems.
Once, the Romans has Gaul problems. They used a generous application of excessive violence, and it was effective.
Once, the US has native-Americans problems. They used a generous application of excessive violence, and it was effective.
Once, the Nazis has Jews problems. They used a generous application of excessive violence, and it was effective.
Once, Israel has Palestinian problems. They use a generous application of excessive violence, and it IS effective.
I don't know about the best path, but I know an obviously wrong path: which is to reduce other people's resistance and struggle as mere terrorism and extremist.
US and western world clearly have the power to rule the world, but the way they act right now will ensure many more resistance and pain for everyone.
