@me Well, for one, plastics screwed over the notoriously evil Belgian king who butchered zillions of Congo people in the pursuit of rubber, so they're not all bad.

Or they would have, had the world community not gotten its act together and very politely told the rich perpetrator of genocide to please consider doing it a little bit less, and not get caught anymore, lest Belgian Congo get nationalised.

(Spoiler: they had to nationalise Belgian Congo.)
