        “Babylon” in this context refers to the oppressive systems of Western society, particularly those rooted in European colonialism and capitalism. Not the ancient civilization.

            You should listen to more reggae, friend! I borrowed that term from Rastafari. I’m not sure of the history, but I promise I’m not the only one calling Western Civ Babylon.
