@BigTLarrity@matty After all my time spent in third world countries I never cease to be amazed by the seemingly divine power they possess to find and pull at the threads composing the very fabric of civilization.

@Squadalah_Man@racs@BigTLarrity@matty there is a pretty interesting video talking about why they are like that (mainly Africa). It boils down to "slave trade was so profitable that they spent 300+ years capturing each other to sell as slaves, so they not only got stuck in time as far as cultural advancement goes (because any kind of scholar who was not a warrior was captured and sold as slave), but they also regressed, as they killed/captured and sold all the 'useless' people who couldn't fend for themselves but knew how stuff like 'farming' worked".
Africa is poor because the creatures that live there are 50,000 years behind Earth in terms of evolution. When the White man arrived in great ships of the line in Africa they hadn't domesticated animals, invented the wheel or managed a single civilization. They are the last link in a dead end branch of evolution. Africa needed blockaded not exported to the planet en masse. Killing these poor creatures is an act of pity, not malice.
@Zerglingman@BigTLarrity@matty I had a similar experience. Islam is unironically good for African countries in that it seems to impose some warped sense of morality in comparison to the various tribal religions I've been exposed to. Another thing they'll do is take a religion, such as Christianity, and combine it with tribal spirituality which breeds it's own oddities.
Either way, it beats out the ritual child mutilation/murder witchdoctor nonsense.
@racs@Zerglingman@BigTLarrity@matty except there is ritual child mutilation (genetic mutilation, but still mutilation) in islam and africans just carry it over and fuse it into whatever creolized mess of an interpretation of islam the average bantu muslim believes in.
@racs@Zerglingman@BigTLarrity@matty that and historically african muslim nations with exception for arab or arab-dominated african nations were extremely lenient on enforcing islamic law until very recently (late 1970s-80s) with wahhabic/salafist evangelism starting to be more widespread and influencing islamic societies in africa to be more in line with sharia law.
@ferrarilegends@Zerglingman@BigTLarrity@matty I agree, but even so, it's nothing compared to finding beheaded children with their dicks missing in construction sites because some guy wanted to close a business deal. Between the two, I'll take negroid Islam retardism.
In reality, if we just let Africa sort itself out, it doesn't matter what flavour bleach they decide to drink - as long as they keep it over there.
@racs@Zerglingman@BigTLarrity@matty its been several thousands of years, and if Africans still haven't managed to sort themselves out, idk what will at this rate, even if we just create a giant continent-wide containment zone
That's my interpretation of sorting themselves out. No more aid money. No refugees.
They can live their "peaceful" decolonized lives and we can stop funnelling trillions into the human equivalent of trying to get termites to stop eating wood.
