Interesting essay but a major criticism : individualism is very, very looked down upon in Indonesia, the champion of 3rd worldism (if we are going by the book).

Obligations (especially to parents and family, but also with neighbors, workplace, and country) are strongly imposed socially here.

People that break from their group's norms and duties are detested by the majority, even if they are not punished legally. The tallest nail gets hammered first. Individualism is despised in Indonesia even if socialism / communism is also despised, and the government, and mega corps are despised... To adhere to individualism, to selfishness, is to exile yourself from society and shut off your social opportunities.

This is a bit less true for exploitive business owners and corrupt government officials, the high caste types, but they are still taking their money primarily for the sake of their families and communities. And then the "dirty" money is primarily spent domestically, if not locally. So it's not like the wealth just disappears from the places where it accumulates.

Xog is a funny term and I think you're doing a good job demonstrate that jew hate is fighting holograms instead of tackling root causes. Just pitching in as a (white, formerly American) third worlder.
