Shhhh they still don't know radio free Asia is a CIA project.
Is this real or some kind of joke? I'm just now learning about all of this and am almost traumatized honestly.
Yes, these guys are just giving you the quick overview. The enemy is colonialism, which has transformed into the neocolonial financial system. This includes all the core countries like USA, Israel, Western Europe, Japan, Canada, South Korea, and Australia: together they control the world's banks, international legal bodies, high-tech manufacturing, as well as the academic and journalistic training and distribution systems.
So the problem is actually much deeper than a few bad sources. The most valuable fields of study have been twisted by capitalism or basically just destroyed. Just take a look at how they've been dealing with climate change. Just because dealing with negative externalities on a business or society level is unprofitable or political suicide, we've been treating it like it can't be mitigated by constraints on manufacturing, and new solutions can't be invented. The Guardian has been posting the same stupid crap about spraying sulfur into the atmosphere for decades, and until recently they pretended investing in green energy + vehicles + industry could never be made profitable.
