cynicism? enough with your puerile, shallow pop psychology, bro. maybe you didn't get what I mean by "your term". I meant this comment by NicoJuicy, the parent comment that I replied to: >US is becoming a banana republic and the term that I meant was, Banana republic. possibly you have not read the details of what a Banana republic really means, and how horrible it is, of both parties involved in that injustice, or rather those injustices, because it happened many times, with many countries, south of the US, in Central and/or South America. here you go: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_republic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_republic short partial summary: the US and some US business companies (in a nexus, of course) was usually involved in the creation of those Banana republics, to the financial advantage of both them and the concerned countries' rulers aka dictators, and to the huge detriment of the general public in these countries, including huge scheming, violence and looting against them, etc. and guess just who coined the term Banana republic? I bet this will surprise you. it was an American author, with pen name O. Henry: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._Henry https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._Henry he was not innocent himself, he embezzled money from a bank, and fled south. I have read a short story by him: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Leaf https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Leaf it may be even manipulative by him, to make money, by tugging at heart strings, but I found it good nonetheless. we had it in English literature class in High School, IIRC. wrong use of caps not by me, but by voice typing errors, can't be bothered to correct them. also, wherever you are from, maybe you should read the following articles before pronouncing judgement on things you seem to know very little about: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Indigenous_Peoples%27_History_of_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Indigenous_Peoples%27_His... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bury_My_Heart_at_Wounded_Knee https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bury_My_Heart_at_Wounded_Kne... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dee_Brown_(writer) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dee_Brown_(writer) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_women_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_women_in_the_Unit... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_foreign_policy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_imperialism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_imperialism and maybe most of all, because it is kind of a summary and an indictment: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism
