Three buddies went on an African trip. Deep in the woods, their journey
took an unexpected turn. A savage cannibal clan apprehended them and dragged
them through the deep bush to their secret camp. Panic raced through the friends
as they witnessed the tribe's disturbing customs, and a sad reality dawned:
they were destined for supper.
When they were presented before the towering tribe leader, a glimmer of hope emerged
within them. To their complete surprise, the chief's face revealed a glimmer of
recognition. It was an old classmate, a glimmer of familiarity amidst the
carnage. Relief flooded over them. Surely their sophisticated college friend
would not go to barbarism?
The chief's smile, however, sent shivers down their spines. It was not a
kind smile, but rather a terrifying affirmation of their fate.
"What's our future?" one of them said, his voice scarcely audible.
"Tonight's feast," the chief said, his tone devoid of sorrow.
Outrage swelled up. "Are you a distinguished graduate of world's top
university??" "How can you be a cannibal?" another buddy
objected. "You were the most civilized person in our class!"
The chief chuckled, sending thrills down their spines. "My education has
not vanished, friends. "While others eat your flesh with their bare hands,
I'll use a fork and knife."
The narrative of modern politics frequently depicts affluent and powerful
nations preying on less developed ones. They utilize complex vocabulary and well-created
narratives to explain their activities, eventually resorting to brutal force to
protect their strategic objectives. Today's international relations appear to
be a struggle between "civilized" and "uncivilized"
cannibals, with the so-called civilized ones frequently winning owing to their
apparent politeness and force.
