    My main point was limited to Europe and vicinity of the USSR. I did not mean for it to come off as dehumanising.

    Deciding to arbitrarily ignore the largest most sophisticated immiseration machine in history to only look at the benefits for the core of the empire is disingenuous at best and very clearly dehumanising to the millions who suffered so the core could enjoy those benefits.

      Aren’t you people here also ignoring the misery people suffered only to look at the benefits of the core?

        Who is you people? I simply pointed out your framing of Europe as an independent entity from the mass immiseration it lead alongside the US for its own massive profit is arbitrary and dehuminising the pretty much the entire global south/periphery. Not to mind it being a bad start that leads to bad analysis and idiotic conclusions which I didn’t bother to mention last time.
