I'm Asian. My country was colonised by Europeans till half a century ago.

Keep going, this is funny. We've gone from 'America is the only nation on earth' to 'oh yeah, Europe exists too'.

Maybe orioler25 will figure out that there's more to the world than only the US and EU :D

I'm Eastern European, my country was exploited by USSR until less than 40 years ago. My bad for getting excited about the prospect of being able to walk in old age, it's all my fault for -checks notes- joining a freedom of trade and movement organisation

my country was exploited by USSR

Do you have a source for that? The inefficiencies of Communism and the lack of cheap third world resources is not the same as being colonised or post-colonised like a third world country.

Not necessarily what you're looking for, but provides some interesting context for others

Why not? It shows that the USSR was doing the opposite.

However, especially by the end, the USSR was effectively paying to keep satellites afloat.

The first comment mentions as exploitation the dismantled production lines from East Germany. Counting war reparations as exploitation is not a honest argument.

The author shifts the tone latet-on.
