It’s the same colonial model, with the same type of results - exploitation of humans and natural resources in a country that can’t fight back due to governmental capture or the collaboration of its bourgeoisie. It’s pretty well documented, even wikipedia has artciles that didn’t get liberalwashed on it.
I’m replying to myself I know but I had to post my two favorite name of canadian mining corporation which are currently destroying the global south:
Conquistador Mines Ltd
Da Capo Resources (today Vista Gold Corporation)
On. The. Nose.
Also this : The Corporate Accountability of Mining, Oil and Gas Corporations in Developing Countries Act, also known as Bill C-300, was defeated in a vote of 140 to 134 in the House of Commons of Canada in October 2010.[56] The Summary of the bill states:
The purpose of this enactment is to promote environmental best practices and to ensure the protection and promotion of international human rights standards in respect of the mining, oil or gas activities of Canadian corporations in developing countries. It also gives the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of International Trade the responsibility to issue guidelines that articulate corporate accountability standards for mining, oil or gas activities and it requires the Ministers to submit an annual report to both Houses of Parliament on the provisions and operation of this Act."[57]
I know Canada is not in any way a social democracy but it’s close enough and would still do this if it became one.
This person is delusional and need mental health care.
Seriously, this looks like the start of psychosis…
To me these are just not real concerns. I’m not trying to invalidate yours but I write a lot of code per day and I just run a cleanup tool after to match the teams style - I do a lot of consulation work in big teams and fighting for code-style issue does nothing I feel.
I prefer to adopt the current guideline and fix real problems and fight real battles like making sure the code is testable from the get go and that OpSec is respected.
Honestly, I just dislike his writing style. I don’t think the pages sings with his words like other authors do. I feel that it’s wordy for the sake of using words and has absolutely no sense of rhythm.
I know a lot of people like it but it just does nothing for me. I’d rather read anything by pascal quignard than jordans.
I also dislike Tolkien’s writing style… I know, I know… To be fair it’s mostly a me problem
You might be right! In fact that’s a good point. But they still did not do anything for me… But ai get your point, we got several very good moments amputated, and tbey decided to cut a lot of fun characters too…
I think their choice was mostly pragmatic… They needed to make 8 episodes that would convince the studio to produce a fourth season.
In a non capitalistic art world, your vision would have been the right answer I think…
I feel like we didn’t read the same book. I never felt that the character had any depth in the books. I never felt that actions were a thing in the books. I never felt that the books were adaptable also, because they are so full of … nothing? most of the time.
To be fair, i dislike how Jordan wrote. I know it’s very vivid and full of details for some peoples but it feel very flat to me… And I did read and loved Malazan Book of the Fallen…
So to say, I prefer the TV version to the books, mostly because the books are written in a way that do nothing for me…
Where was I going with all of this ?
Nowhere, like book 4-5-6 … I kid, I kid!
