This is about the Westernization/influence of capitalism and the United States on the world. Numerous references to exploitative Western legacies (Columbus' ships, the fields overseer of the slaves in the American South, my agents of orange - the shit the US military dropped all over Vietnam, the priests of Hiroshima) "There is no other pill to take so swallow the one that makes you ill" (I think the pill is a metaphor for political system/government, and how the U.S. makes other countries switch to their idea off a democracy) |
