- Igelau 5y ago> the temerity not only to rise up in rebellion, amidst grand declarations of universal rights and freedoms See, I read that in a sarcastic "how dare they" tone. Maybe that's why I don't think it's controversial. > But debt is not just victor's justice; it can also be a way of punishing winners who weren't supposed to win. Are you saying the debt/embargoes weren't meant to be punitive? "Weren't supposed to win" being the prevailing attitude of global economic powers of the time.
