Plundering Quotes

“How humans love plundering a forest, like spoiled children with their parents' ATM cards and no concept of moderation”
― Paul Rosolie, Mother of God: An Extraordinary Journey into the Uncharted Tributaries of the Western Amazon ― A Vivid Memoir

“We make the evil monsters spending billions money of the people, to get nothing and then remain engaged to destroy them plundering the resources, double of that. We still claim ourselves to be the wise and civilised characters.”
― Ehsan Sehgal

“For example, the colonized people have ‘regimes’ and ‘dictators’, whereas the West has ‘democracies’; the people in the ‘first world’ ‘tolerate’ cancer chemotherapy and ‘tolerate’ refugees or other religions and beliefs; if you go to work and settle in the West, you are an ‘immigrant’, but when Westerners come to plunder your country and get overpaid jobs (often despite mediocre qualifications), they are ‘expats’; and on goes the list of how we devalue ourselves and glorify our killers and plunderers without even realizing it simply through the language we use daily.”

“(Donor Countries)
When are we going to understand that donor countries never give anything for free?

When are we going to realize that only those with the largest role in destruction offer themselves as benefactors?

They donate merely to reshape societies and ravaged lands according to their whims and desires…

Their sole aim is to keep the defeated, the marginalized, the disempowered, and the impoverished in that state for as long as possible…

When are we going to see that the quickest way to name the world’s greatest criminals is simply to scan the list of donor countries?

“[They Say My People Are Generous]

They say my people are generous.
Strangers and foreigners agree.
But ask my people
about my people,
and they will tell you
how many hypocrites
and flatterers
would sell
and burn
the entire homeland
for money.
Ask my people
about my people,
and they will tell you
how generous they were
to strangers
on the day those strangers
lit the fires
of war,
sectarianism,
and hatred.
Ask my people
about my people,
and they will tell you
how freely strangers move
through our country
and its riches,
while its own people,
deliberately impoverished
and exiled,
live either
with the humiliation of exile
or the humiliation
of home,
waiting for the first chance
to flee
with the first smuggler
who offers them passage
to the first
of the death boats.
