You are being extremely charitable if you think the writer did not mean to imply that that is the case in the context of Gabon too. That's why there an "also" in the sentence. Either way it is petty pedantry.

At this point web browsers are essentially operating systems themselves capable of running a wide variety of specialised apps.

I have yet to try them. They look a little bit goofy.

It's because this person is a moron.

They have no understanding of imperialism. The paper they are criticising is about unequal exchange in trade between global north and south countries. They think how anti-imperialists claim imperialism works is something like this: global south country harvests its natural resources to create wealth. This wealth then gets appropriated by the global north through unfair trade dealings.

So they posit that if global south countries just didn't trade with the global north, they could just keep their wealth and prosper. So sanctioned countries would actually get wealthier compared to non-sanctioned countries. Since this is obviously not true, (their strawman of) imperialism has been debunked.

I've been extremely bad with charged weapons. Half the time I notice that I've had the trigger button pressed for like 5 seconds but the weapon had not been charging.

No. Jason Hickle is an economist and anthropologist.

Also I just discovered that Reddit economists have a massive hate boner for Jason Hickel across a variety of subreddits.

I see people who are left-liberal anticommunists getting called Tr*ts sometimes but I don't know what exactly it means.

What characterises a Trotskyist?

The only things I know are that Trotsky:

  • was opposed to Stalin.
  • wanted international revolutions.
  • perished because of an ice-pick attack. (Not sure about this.)
