@SheldonCooperNG @inter_nautico @Lovecangive1 Fair but my point was they had only unified for 30 years or less and the whole of Europe was afraid If u have to then fragment but it won’t change the fact that unqualified people are in charge

Asia wasn’t “less colonized” than Africa. The difference is how colonialism was structured. In much of Africa, colonial rule was built around extraction: steal labor, minerals, and land, and leave weak institutions behind. Borders were drawn with zero regard for nations or stability. In parts of Asia, colonialism was also brutal, but some regions inherited stronger state systems, larger industrial bases, higher population density, and earlier centralized institutions that could be rebuilt after independence. Several Asian countries also received Cold War investment because the West wanted them as anti-communist showcases. So no, Africa isn’t “behind” because Africans are worse. It’s because colonialism didn’t damage every region in the exact same way—and Africa was carved up for maximum extraction, not development.

@SheldonCooperNG @Lovecangive1 Pre-colonial African ethnicity operated on fluid networks of assimilation, trade, and economic mobility. If you gained wealth or moved to a new kingdom, your identity adapted. The 'fractionalization' we measure today is kind of the measurement of amount of colonial bureaucracy.

@SheldonCooperNG @Lovecangive1 We are talking diferent definitions of ethnicity, the ones created by elites was the political ethnicity, that made hardened categories of them all to fight over institutions (and stopped the nation building that happened in Europe), that what can be seen in the map

@SheldonCooperNG @Lovecangive1 This is not incorrect of course , it's a feedback loop, but you cannot forget that extractive institutions foster elites that are very much incentivized to polarize societies to keep power highly fractionalized societies that did not had them are likely to be ok!

@inter_nautico @Lovecangive1 Quality of institutions is shown to be a inversely correlated to ethnic fractionalization. Countries with high ethnic fractionalization often are too fragmented to develop or maintain strong institutions! Quality of institutions is a mediator impacted by ethnic fractionalization!

@TimTim2091215 @Lovecangive1 @SheldonCooperNG When I say homogenization I meant nation building, in the case of Africa, most states there imposed to them with no regards to the creation of stabilizing national myths and other factors, worse yet, they purposefully endeavored to heighten internal tensions to divide and rule

@inter_nautico @Lovecangive1 @SheldonCooperNG So africans were too stupid or too violent to homogenize?

@SheldonCooperNG @Lovecangive1 One paper that states the institutional argument plainly Acemoglu, D., Johnson, S., & Robinson, J. A. (2005). "The Rise of Europe: Atlantic Trade, Institutional Change, and Economic Growth."

@SheldonCooperNG @Lovecangive1 I'm not arguing that the correlation exists! I'm saying that correlation is not causation , try controlling by quality of institutions and rule of law

@mello980996991 @SheldonCooperNG @Lovecangive1 German nationalism was an extremely bloody process of cultural homogenization whose conflict created the institutions to manage whatever internal diversity ended up existing after the process

@SheldonCooperNG @Lovecangive1 Germany was split into 100s of little cities and bishoprics when they unified it took them 20-30 years to get to uks level

@SheldonCooperNG @Lovecangive1 This is very old , the current consensus is that ethnic fractionalization can be managed, hell made a national resource of innovation , by inclusive institutions. Like the ones not developed by colonial powers

@Lovecangive1 This is the reason! The ethnic heterogeneity of African countries is too high for it to achieve meaningful development. Ethnic heterogeneity is inversely correlated to Human Development Index, GDP per Capital, Governance Index, etc. As u can see on this map, Africa is an outlier!

@TimTim2091215 @Lovecangive1 @SheldonCooperNG The USA led , like all nations, a homogenezation campaign that we call cutely "nation buildingx"

@Lovecangive1 @SheldonCooperNG Why dont those tribes get along? I thought black people are all goodness and love. How come they cant work together like USA?

me acabo de enterar de que en latinoamerica no pueden ni beber agua del grifo, luego se ríen de un apagón, dan mucha pena jajajaja

@metaIcats Blanco es anglosajón primero, todos los europeos segundos. Los del sur de Europa terceros, los asiáticos pálidos cuarto, y de allí solo sigues con el color de piel

genuinamente me gustaria entender este concepto q tienen los gringos de quien es blanco y quien no nisiquiera estoy siendo sarcastico tal vez soy muy latinoamerichango para esto

Conventional economic theory never accounted for a mechanised power loom that can perform the equivalent of weeks of cottage-weaver work in days or hours.

@the_hoch @Vibutler_ We just found a part of what is sad then

@Vibutler_ The American voters want term limits. The American politicians do not want term limits. Bicameral legislative system basically doubles term limits.

The federal constitution only requires that states “have a republican form of government” what exactly that means is largely up for interpretation. The fact that 49 states have decided on near carbon copy bicameralism is sad

@latkedelrey If the principle is not universal it is not a principle, just personalized advice

“you don’t owe anyone anything” is for, like, trauma survivors learning to care about themselves for the first time or whatever. it’s not for you when you’re an Awful Friend

@LinaVegaAbad @KarinArcus_ok las personas que le dirian eso no hacen esa distincion

@KarinArcus_ok El socialismo democrático, la social democracia y demàs, nada tiene que ver con el comunismo autoritario de Cuba. Es cosa de informarse un poco

Nueva York tiene un alcalde de izquierda y París eligió un alcalde socialista. Por lo tanto, quienes suelen escribir: "Andate a vivir a Cuba", pueden también decirme "Andate a vivir a New York" o "Andate a vivir a París". 😆
