    "The Volunteer appears to be someone with nothing to do; his skills are not utilized and the community doesn’t know what he has to offer in the way of help.”

      Sorry, so you have one quote from somewhere on a libertarian thinkintank and that’s…a demonstration of bias? What are you trying to say wit this very out of context, zero evidence missive?

      It’s neo-colonialsm in as much as letting people who know about American only through Tik Tok or facebook meet a real one and ask about things.

      I had to talk to a lot of people about why “George Bush, strong man!” and why that was not true. Then he bombed Iraq and when they then asked “Does…George Bush hate muslims? But…we’re Muslim! Is he going to bomb us?” I also eventually left and educated a lot of people in the US about how all those “evl, terrible muslims” are, in fact, not evil or terrible."

      One third of the goals are to share the experiences you have with the US. I’d love to hear how that’s neocolonialsm.
