In the
first part of this essay, I showed why Western leaders are generally so bad. The one sentence answer is they are almost always suborned to serve the interests of the 1% at the expense of the 99%.
There is a corollary explanation for this. European cultures and their spinoffs in the rest of Eurangloland, including Israel are founded on violence and theft. If you don't believe this goes back to the Jewish Torah/Christian Old Testament, here is a
quick review of Westerners' predilection for killing, destroying, plundering first and asking questions later ( and).
I created a comparative Excel table using Wikipedia's pages on
Conflicts in Europe, United States and China. Europe's list has 760 entries, the US's 250 and China's 315. Europe's long list really starts in 1,100BC and does not include all of the genocidal horrors in the Torah/Old Testament before that. The US's only starts in 1775, which is wishful propaganda. As Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz clearly proves in her book,
A Native Peoples' History of the United States, genocidal wars to exterminate the many millions of First Nations' peoples started Day One with the colonial landing at Jamestown in 1607. And the killing has never stopped. China's goes back to 2,500BC, so is over twice as long as Europe's and, compared to the US, almost ten times longer.
Comment: Yeah, tornadoes never happened in Europe until very recently, when they suddenly started happening all the time!
