It’s all prosperity gospel shit. They see being successful as a moral good, so inversely, being poor is a moral failing that requires punishment.

Name a more iconic pair than bananas and fascist death squads
Hamas attacks Israel, Israel retaliates. "Israel has the right to defend itself!
Israel attack Iran, Iran retaliates. “Nope, that’s sanctions”
If that’s not a double standard I don’t know what is.
It didn’t use to, the b was added back in cause the Latin word has one and making words look like Latin was all the rage at one point.

Truth is a little different. They didn’t chop off your hands for failing to meat a quota. You can’t work without hands, see, so that wouldn’t really help. Naw, they just fucking killed ya. The hands were supposed to be what the soldiers brought back to count how many they killed, to prove they hadn’t wasted ammo. Seriously. The photos of people with just hands cut off were from soldiers cheating the system and just cutting off hands of random people so they could shoot more later. It was fucking barbaric.
