Either you make money, or you make peace, but you can't make both. Not in the insane quantities we're talking about here. Doesn't mean that it's impossible to make neither, obviously...You also may chose money over people and relationships without being rich at all
I'm not trying to paint a false "evil rich - noble poor" dichotomy here. I've worked with poverty stricken people for too long to have any illusions about that whatsoever (and I've done it far less long than others have. You learn very quickly in that business...).
Of course. That's because it's always the majority doing it to the minority (it's more of a power distribution thing than a numbers thing, though), and guess who the majority is in the west. You go to other places where the majority has a different skin color, you hear the same tune from some other bloke. You just have to spend some effort to notice it, because language keeps getting in the way.But it's noticeable that most political utter nonsense from individuals or certain marginalized groups we see in the West comes from white people.
And when you get to a place where there's no significant imbalance of power, that's where things tend to get real nasty.
