The world Economy is based on Predatorship

[uche6215]

Predatorship is a kind of feeding system where a predator feed's on its victim known as the prey, that is also the way the world Economy is  been structured to run, somebody will say this is a conspiracy theory.
Looking at how world events has taken place over time I have come to the conclusion that there is a system that is silently working without many noticing that it's Predatorship where a predator with a much greater strength feeds on its prey that is helpless.

From the time of military conquest where stronger nations will attack and capture smaller nation's and take them captives and turn them into slave and start working for them thereby increasing the country military and Economic wealth and allot of nation's or empire emerge such as Egyptian empire, Persian, Greek and finally the Roman empire all of these great nation's came to limelight through Predatorship feeding on the wealth of weaker nation's as the nation's they defeated pay tribute to them and keep there Economies running.
To the Time of the agricultural age which begot the Slave trade stronger nations capture and bought slave to work on their farm so they can feed their population and finally Slave was no longer sustainable and it was collapsed to colonisation where stronger nations use military force to rule and govern smaller nation's and extracted and exploited other nations wealth to increase their economic strength and feed their population

Infact the development of Europe was accelerated during the colonial time as the wealth of the smaller colonies was used in building what is known as the so called developed European society it was as a result of Predatorship. infact till today the results of this deadly association of prey and Predatorship is still visible as the prey which is basically the third world Nation's are basically struggling to stand because of the prey that has fed and injured it very well.
And till today the post colonial Economies too are basically practicing Predatorship as smaller nation's basically live and align with the foreign policies and dictate of bigger nation's.

yep the modern world ""pretends"" to want equality but then doesnt want socialism
the world ""pretends"" veganism is the future but prefers capitalism, carnivorism, and survival of the fittest

we do live our lives by our basic instincts of our cave men origins. self preservation and finding solutions where we win and make our lives better and easier for ourselves. this does mean it incurs a predator mentality whereby our needs mean more than others in all things like life, economics, food and survival

we have not really changed over thousands of years the need for old religions to control greed, glutany and basic morals shows our ancestors had the same problems. we however do things now faster, easier and with newer technologies.. but nothings really changed in thousands of years

[Accardo]

It's everywhere including the jungles and seas, big animals feed on the smaller species. Humans are not far from this mentality, for mere material possessions, nations kill each other to acquire wealth. And the survivors would rule over the losers as masters and treat them as slaves. For centuries the world continuously harbor chaos, with no solution to it, we'd have to adapt and stay stronger against difficulty and hardship.

However, countries whose wealth were taken by the predators, would work so hard to purchase what was her own at a higher rate. Survival ethics is the right term, the cat won't live in a room where there is no rat. Similarly, most big nations depend on the resources of smaller countries to strive economically.

This is nothing new and is the way the world has always worked, you might argue it has got more civilized than a Roman army spreading across Europe or Genghis Khan rampaging through Asia. Borders are generally much better defined these days, but the people with the most economic clout have always been able to bully others. Ingenuity has allowed some smaller nations to wield greater power than you might expect through certain periods of time, but kingdoms rise and fall. Every country would practice "colonialism" if they could, because it means spreading their culture and being able to wield outsize influence over competing nations, we see China conducting it today but it only ever gets associated with European powers or America, simply because they have been most effective at it.. because their cultures are actually quite hospitable in comparison to others.

Some people and even countries have made themselves into easy preys for others who are more confident in their abilities and have put themselves in a position of power to take advantage of other people or country that are not self aware or know their strengths yet. It's a dog it's dog world, and everyone has to be tough end up because where you see predatorship, some other people with higher economic skills see an opportunity to make money, and they never hesitate to take these opportunity. We cannot really blame these people for taking opportunities and acting the way they act because predators and preys bring the balance.

At times I don’t know what to think of these guys either, they aren’t being advised properly and are been encouraged with the idea of a greater suffering to birth the next good or it is the fact that, they aren’t directly impacted by their decisions which brings about these sufferings.
At the very least, they are way above certain levels to suffer with the masses and as such, they benefit off their expense. It’s just terrible what we humans can do to ourselves just to build long lasting wealth.
Until we get to understand that we share this world together, it’s always going to be difficult or impossible taking these predatory prey instinct out of humanity.

[Apocollapse]

Because it's all a zero sum game.

If you can sell something higher, it means the buyer will lose.
If you sell something cheaper, you will lose.

Unfortunately this not only happen on top positions, but it happened in everywhere. In low position we call it rat-race, where a lot people are competing with each other just to get "low" achievement.

While in high position, most of them are predators, you can be scammed even with your closest partner.

[Hewlet]

And till today the post colonial Economies too are basically practicing Predatorship as smaller nation's basically live and align with the foreign policies and dictate of bigger nation's.

this is not just about how the world economy is structured. It's same with almost every area of life. You always have predators and prey in all sectors who use thier power, influence and previledges to thier advantage while the prey is sapped almost to death.

The good thing is that the system allows the prey to man up and become independent of the excesses of the predator as long as he's ready to gain Independence from such hostile relationship. Even in our modern world, supposed third world country have been trampled upon countless times and her resources taken away from them by countries from the world powers and this represents the height of predator to prey kind of relationship. It's all a thing of game, you show that you're weak, you risk being trampled upon and preyed on to even death but when you decide to become strong for yourself, you could conquer the world and become a predator to the younger nations business and people that where at the state you've been while you were preyed on.

It's a cycle that keeps revolving in different ways and in one way or the other, we just keep moving from being a prey to becoming a predator and vice versa.

And the colonization was accepted as a case of "If you can not beat them then you should join them" all just to survive.
I am not going to conspire with you in this but I know you are right.
It is unfair that even til date, there is still the practices of the advanced countries suppressing the underdog countries because even after being sovereign in meeting with the legal and responses and capacities of governing itself, those colonies would still make them feel lower class as self independent in deciding their responsive rights.
Worse be it that even in the nation, citizens rebels each other were defensive is only for the strong whole the weals are humanity and being enslaved of working for the rich.
Here is why some says "they works like the elephants and eats like the ants".

[NotATether]

I mean, that sounds an awful lot like capitalism.

Someone works for a boss, the boss works for someone else, and so on and so forth, and 10 steps later you have the big boss that runs it all. And money flows (or should I say trickles) downwards.

Obviously it's a problem for people with a lot of expenses (e.g. a family) and not enough means to pull them out of it.

Of course, the idea really pertains to Asia too. There are many countries of the region that share similar historical problems of exploitation and colonialism. For example, India and Indonesia are highly exploited countries during the times of the colonizer. More wealth benefits the colonizers than the local people.

We have also witnessed in Asia that sometimes, economies navigate complicated relationships with major powers, like China and the United States. That can create dynamics that reflect those historical dynamics. For instance, a smaller Southeast Asian country might notice that its policies work well with those of its larger neighbor. That affects its economic independence.

Intra-Asian dynamics, such as trade relations; it may also reflect evolutionary relationships. It can depict the strong economies like China that play an important role in regional trade. This may lead to differences regarding past interests.

To solve these problems, Asian countries need to strengthen cooperation in the region as well as formulate policies that will stress out the need for even development and mutual respect. Organization of mechanisms like ASEAN already aims at promoting cooperation; however, a lot needs to be done so that every country can progress independently.

There is the deep sadness and anger that many people feel over the legacy of colonialism and present inequality. Sadder still is the fact that independence has come without much moving away from or getting rid of the remnants of oppression and inferiority perpetrated by powerful states upon many countries.

This parable of the elephant and the dog reflects how vividly -a servant-and riches do lie in the pockets of a few. It reminds the society of grave social injustices which continue to form the basis of life and community.

Compassion in such a situation means taking cognizance of the historical background and the fierce fight people are going through to protect their rights and dignity. The people's courage in speaking against injustice is commendable. And the international community must support activities leading to equality and dignity for all nations and their citizens.

I mean, that sounds an awful lot like capitalism.

Someone works for a boss, the boss works for someone else, and so on and so forth, and 10 steps later you have the big boss that runs it all. And money flows (or should I say trickles) downwards.

Obviously it's a problem for people with a lot of expenses (e.g. a family) and not enough means to pull them out of it.

One more interestingly related idea has to do with the relationship of capitalism with the "predatory" dynamics we have been discussing. In one respect, capitalism can perpetuate the old system where wealth and power are at the top and the groups below are struggling just to make ends meet.

In looking at the boss versus the employee, it will point out how economic systems can perpetuate inequality. This subsequently sets off a vicious cycle that ensures people with more power and resources continue to garner all those benefits while many others suffer as they have been given too little. For example, opportunities to make more money are often out of sight for people without means. Such a circumstance makes it almost impossible for families to better themselves.

It is a social phenomenon that mirrors the historical legacy of exploitation and, equally so, the current economic practice. In redressing such inequalities, a collaborative effort will be required in rethinking how we ought to organize outcomes and assist others in need.

While it is true to an extent that colonial powers exploited the weaker nations, the contemporary world economics are not that simple. Their former colonies now declare their independence and even excel in other fields like technology and agriculture. In digital innovations, Kenya and India are emerging, or at least venturing into, sustainable development aspects that reshape the economy of those countries.

The sad reality, however, is that even today, the legacy of colonialism contributes to economic inequalities. Exploitation of resources and people rendered many developing countries to lag behind in the process of development, and unfair trade policies are still affecting developing countries. But with global cooperation and reforms, a focus on equitable development and correction of structural imbalances, these inequalities are slowly being reduced.

[Sticky Bomb]

You're entirely correct buddy, that's the way the world runs and somehow, it's a good feat because it stirs a kind of competition and determination to be great and do more in the minds of both the weaker and the stronger entities involved, else nations would be lazy since there's a neutral balance and there's no special reward in being exceptional in their dealings.

Citing the workspace, seeing the higher ranking officers and the goodies they enjoy is an endless motivation and drive for you to strive to be there too. You burn all bridges and make your way to the top and you're glad you did.

I've seen countries who were colonized by others rise up and regain their independence, get their military more equipped and operate on their own, such things they wouldn't have done if they were not colonized.

So the predatory and capitalistic approach is an encouragement for all entities to rise up and be better versions of themselves and funny enough without these competitions, then life would actually be very boring and there would be less motivation and drive to actually do anything spectacular.

I will agree with you at some point concerning the pre-colonial era and how most colonial masters were able to extract vital minerals to their own country for development. I understand that over time we've had what people like kwame Nkrumah has described as neo colonialism the last stage of imperialism, where colonial masters still have influence on the current rule in those countries they colonized.
But I take exception to some of these ideas because most of the countries from the third world Nations have leaders  that are very selfish and lack the vision to develop their country, a lot them enjoys sovereignty without external influence or distractions from anywhere, but yet they cannot put up policies that will better the lives of their country men.

 It's been over 60 years since most colonial masters left the countries they've colonized, so the current underdevelopment most of the third world countries are facing are caused by the current leaders they've had for the last 20 to 30 years.

It is the nature of animals to be predators over the weak ones and that is why you see that it is also in the nature of humans because we are high level animals. Greed, oppression, discrimination and power is a big problem because that is what leads to such behavior.

The world is like a jungle where only the strong survives and if you want to survive you need to be with a pack otherwise, you become the prey to the strong. Wars are here and there, and what some people are doing is to make money from the war in disguise of helping. There is a high rate of inflation in the country but some people are stealing what belonga to other for themselves and you cannot say anything in order not to get mop.

[cabron]

It's like you finally figured out the Matrix.
When you are a person who comes from a slum you are already aware of this predetorship since the time you walk going to your school and back to your house. There is a predator at every turn and sometimes they don't just bully, they take your lunch money as well.

The world economy is different because the strong ones can create a new economy which we all are still part of. The Roman Empire became a church that still lives today and still manages to make a colonized country worship.

I just replied to one of your threads about the economic situation in Nigeria and what you said here is exactly what I wanted to say. Not only your country Nigeria but my country and many other third world countries will have a very difficult time improving their economy when our world is running like a predatory regime like what you are saying.

That is why I believe and support: a multipolar world would be much better than a unipolar world like today. Of course, a multipolar world will not completely solve this problem, but it will open up more opportunities for countries like ours to have more choices and opportunities to develop instead of being oppressed and suppressed as it is today.

The government has been created for the good of the people and they are taking it as another way of getting from people and enriching themselves this money is for the people and is supposed to be used for their interests so why is everything looking very different, they are initiating with action and they are always feeding on people and they always try to get peoples attention when it comes election and their to bribe their way out in getting their self the desired position and this thing is not happening in Nigeria but all over the world this shows that the system is corrupt and there is no way that every country do not have what they are battling with the exhortation from the government and that is why the protest that happened in Kenya I was happy because we can not continue this way.

I was reading something but I don't even know how true it is that whenever any country wants to carry a loan they don't have a choice then to sign some policies for every African country and if that is true then there is a big problem because we can not be living under the obligation of a foreign law that is very bad, just because you want to grant them loan.

The world, yes, needs balancing, but not on the ground of oppression. What happened to equal trade? nations giving what they've got in exchange for their needs is better than capitalizing on a smaller nation's resources by force. A lot of families in developing countries have lost properties to war and conflicts, and no place to go.

These are humans who enjoyed a free world, but now undergo trauma for selfish interest of another nation seeking superiority. However, rising and falling is the nature of the world, those who were oppressed could become the oppressors if they've got the chance. So, it's like a natural human behavior.

[uneng]

The difference between nowadays and the ancient days, is that in the present time, predators don't need to use strength in order to catch the prey anymore. Rather, the prey fall for the predator by free will.

We can exemplify this through the "rat race", where 90% of the global population is inserted, pursuing empty goals or just surviving, instead of living. However, it's our duty to at least try getting out of this race, to refuse playing this game and following its rules.

But in order to do so, you need to give a big NO to most offers the world tries persuading you to accept. On this game mode, you are by yourself in this world, not playing by the side of the predators, neither by the side of the prey.
