It’s honestly hilarious to me that they’re going with this instead of making up a bullshit story about Yemeni pirates playing kickball with a puppy’s head. Not even anything about “freedom and democracy”. Just naked imperialism and prioritization of le market over human lives. Of course, they very deliberately omit why they started a blockade to begin with.
Can’t tell if it’s a net good to see the empire rip its mask off like this.
Actually kind of, imperialism relies on the flow of resources from the periphery to the core after all, but I don’t think this person understands that.
