Only if you don't see the people outside the US empire as people.

As an outsider, I'm curious about this. So, the red train is fast for both the people inside the empire and outside the empire. The blue train is fast only for the people outside the empire, where it's just as fast as the red train. To me, it sounds like the blue train is still preferable.

While probably true on a technicality (although I'd frame it as accelerating slightly slower for Americans rather than not being fast). You also don't seem to take into account that it's the blue train setting the foundation that allows the red train to accelerate as fast as it does, or the fact that through slowing the acceleration for Americans slightly and their general better pr they sustain the system allowing it to continue immiserating hundreds of millions for longer.

Also it's not 2 trains per say but one train implementing a 2 part strategy. (The ratchet effect as people call it).

I agree that a revolution is probably the solution there. But until then, would you rather vote for blue or red?

i think it's quid pro quo now. Seppos stopped being people down here when they started being fascists.
