People often voice their grievances but fail to propose viable solutions. Many simply echo Western media narratives and USAID-funded propaganda—over $1 billion was allocated by Congress for China disinformation campaigns through USAID, a fact that’s publicly documented (look it up). Furthermore, it’s crucial to revisit the dictionary and grasp the true meaning of colonization. If what Jamaica is experiencing today is a form of colonization, then its tourism sector—a cornerstone of the economy—can be likened to modern-day slavery. Yet, as Sir P from Politricks Watch often highlights, many are unwilling to question their “Irie Saxon” or “Billy Joe” overlords.

When it comes to loans, the same principles apply, whether it’s car loans, mortgages, or IMF bailouts. What’s the alternative? Should Jamaica remain stagnant, stuck in the Stone Age without essential infrastructure, simply because the government lacks the funds to finance development? Or should we continue borrowing from the IMF, only to see no tangible benefits—just cuts to education, cuts to exports, and a slew of harsh stipulations that leave us worse off than before? Reading is fundamental. The parallel between historical colonization and today’s plantation economy—where Jamaica’s tourism industry, a major economic driver, mirrors the exploitative systems of the past—paints a grim picture.

So, I ask again: what are your solutions? If you cannot propose ideas that inspire collective action and influence government policy, then what’s the point of complaining? Jamaica needs constructive action, not empty rhetoric.
