VICE TAKING LS IRL (Lotus Eaters)




Here's a question for the Vice panel on supposedly intrinsically biased Western government and economic systems. How is this system oppressing anyone in countries like Africa or Asia when there are no/few minorities? On can argue that the system itself, based upon rational enlightenment principles, is not biased towards anyone. However, one might also agree that in countries where the majority population has long been established they would be more entrenched in the existing system/power structure. This makes sense. It does not mean it was set up to oppress any other groups. It seems there is no inherent bias in the system itself which is what a lot of people may think.

Note: The Vice Panel has one right winger vs a bunch of leftists where the leftists don't seem to be making any good arguments.
