@FreedomMMC @im_vensor Europeans extract resources from South America (1500 - 1800) for 300 years. Scramble for Africa starts around 1880 until after WW2, before it was only trading ports. Colonization starts in Africa when they lost control of South America.
Overall, why is South America better?
English

Remember there has been a MASSIVE investment in asia for manufacturing while the extraction of African resources persists.
Trust im FBA i criticize Africans all day but this is a huge distinction between Africa and Asia. African "leaders" continue to sign sell out deals like Ghana meanwhile Asian leaders sign deals to manufacture products.
English

@Lovecangive1 South America was colonize too, their culture wiped off the earth, 90% died due to smallpox, resources extracted back to Europe... yet, here we are...
English

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.

I don't think colonialism explains why Africa has such low growth. Asia had colonialism too.

@PaulTassi you could have gotten an inktank system, way much cheaper to just refill the ink. also, printer as in printing, for 2D yes - stagnant, now, we have 3D printers. but for commercial printers, some can staple the paper, rotate it and print both sides...
English

@ThomMhlotshana @MorEdge_Insight South Korea was literally carpet bombed into ashes, you can check it out, both sides went back and forth, bombing each other until there is literally nothing... nothing. Yet, South is so prosperous and ironically, North has a better train system than SA... think about it...
English

@MorEdge_Insight He is saying BS
Whites took more than a century to build South Africa
Blacks still need to learn. Why expect blacks to get it right in 30 years
Everyone has a learning curve. Even whites had theirs but just a lot earlier
This guy is talking BS
English

@FiFrontierX @HyperAICapital What are you talking about? China land mass is 9.7km sq, USA is 9.3km sq. China is bigger.
English

@HyperAICapital China's land mass is smaller than ours so it makes sense for them. Plus we have Space moves and plays now.
English

China is commercializing the data center concept the US abandoned
China just launched the world’s first commercial underwater data center off the coast of Hainan, with seawater cooling, AI training workloads, and 10 paying customers already on board.
Microsoft ran Project Natick, spent years proving the concept was viable, pulled the pods out of the water in 2018, then shelved the whole thing. China looked at the same idea and turned it into a business.

English

James Gunn on why he only race swaps white characters:
"That’s pretty simple. Because 95% of all superheroes have historically been white it makes sense as we start adapting them to film in the modern era that some characters who were originally white become another ethnicity to more accurately reflect our world. In most cases, it would not make sense to take a character originally another ethnicity and make them white because there are already so many white superheroes.”
Should this have disqualified him from running DC?

@KrepelkaJim @CarlZha Arab/Persian have no beef with China, oil still flowing into China. They are building an oil pipe line from Russia to China now. China is 60-80% self sufficient in food, if remove luxury food, it is 100%. No need lobsters during war time.
English

@CarlZha This is a retarded take
China only does this as globalism allows it
Middle east turns off oil tap to China what then. Iran crisis shows that massive Crack in your logic
Can China domestically feed it s own population without food imports.
No oil no manufacturing no food
English

@CarlZha Never understood people that create graph using similar colors. Is it a crime to use green, blue, yellow... etc?
English

@Rainmaker1973 aren't most farm integrated in one way or the other? most chicken farm sell the poop as ferterlizer.
English

@NightSkyToday we have dinosaur bones but not a single bones or metal or craft of this so called advanced ancient civilization?
English

@folkhemmet37 @mandate2049 I live in Malaysia, our neighbour - Singapore's GDP per capita is among the highest, should be number 1 in the world or 2. I can tell you those notebook dont cost that much and I can assure you everyone is educated and consumption is high too.
English

@mandate2049 I'm not arguing that China is a weak economy in total, I think the opposite. I'm arguing that the per person PERSONAL consumption in China is low, which is why that notebook costs 50 cent in China.
English

@parv1008 @JoshuaBarzon Was there ever an India? Didnt the British created India by merging various kingdoms? China was there thousand of years ago under 1 ruler and culture, fragmented and unified multiple times. Egypt sort of evolve, losing their language and culture like the Romans.
English

@JoshuaBarzon Continuous civilization is India. Everything else is labeled as old bt they r not older than India.
English

@OgbeniDemola You know China under Mao was extremely poor, they play the blame game, the hate game. When did their fortune change? When Deng took over and said, stop blaming and start working.
I got all A(s) in school, how? I blame my teacher, parents and friends for my bad grades.
English

@Fx1Jonny I believe Iran tried but Israel stopped them many times, via bombing and hacking their computers. NK on the other hand dont have such problem, Japan and SK dont agree but doesnt go all out to sabotage. Also, NK is literally closed to the outside world.
English

@Tablesalt13 scripted.... imagine a smooth journey... how to make money with no drama?
English

and he brought THREE spare tires with him
and they ALL popped like 400kms in....and then his car caught on fire..... and they almost died due to dehydration after only 2 days in the heat. Crickey. at least I can melt snow.

@ILiketoCope @kroketrendang I asked, Muhammad from Paris agrees with you.
English

@kroketrendang Ask a French person if Quebecois is French...
Especially a Parisian
When they talk to someone from Quebec, they always quickly mention it's not French
English

@meinmokhtar sebab duit raya (ang pow) ini ikut tradisi cina, mungkin dulu dulu tak ada adat ini. tak ada peraturan yang clear siapa perlu bagi, siapa tak perlu bagi. Untuk cina, rule dia simple, you mesti bagi selepas kahwin, tak khawin tak perlu bagi. Yang umur besar bagi umur kecil.

@baypinar35 they all talk like blacks... and nobody is black... why?
