I think it is a very good example of how ideology drives decision making. The free-market-for-us religion was dominant then, and it is coming back now. <br />The 1840s had also seen the First Opium War, which was a similar example of ruthlessness unto another (supposedly inferior!) people, justified by The Right Christian Faith and Free-market-for-us religion. <br />I guess the de-humanization of the other is necessary, if you want to build an empire.<br /><br />Every group that claims some kind of "exceptionalism" is prone to this myopia. I think that's why most kings who were called "The Great" throughout history led the largest genocides. And we all know what the "American Exceptionalism" has led to during the last fifty years...<br /><br />I think that what is happening in Gaza the last 20 years is another example of the same mindset. And Xinjiang. <br /> <br />Famine based on otherness and dehumanization is never far away, and it can come back and hit us hard. <br /><br />Regarding the foolishness of relying on one crop - now we rely on Diesel for probably 99% of the harvest and processing. <br /><br />GoranGöranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375637941166085188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585995614037680457.post-46386165014088827942021-11-01T20:13:51.202+01:002021-11-01T20:13:51.202+01:00I know.
