Colonialism isn't the reason why your country is poor in 2022.

[Wallenberg]

Colonialism happened a long time ago. If your country still is poor, it's not because of colonialism. It's time to start taking responsibility for your own actions. Yeah, colonialism was bad, but it's not the reason why your country is poor today.

South Korea was as poor as African nations in the 1960s. Now it's much richer.

China was poorer than many African countries in the 1960s. Now it's way wealthier.

Botswana was a colony, but it has developed in recent decades because it adopted good policies.

Singapore and Hong Kong were colonies yet now they are among the world's most prosperous countries.

Japan and Germany were bombed to ashes in WW2, yet they are still developed and rich countries.

One could say the Soviet Union colonized Eastern European countries. Yet Eastern European countries are getting wealthier now with the right policies.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Ever heard about the Marshall Plan?

 

[Chadeep]

Africa and other countries are poor because of corrupt government. People at the top taking 80% of funds meanwhile giving 20% for development.

@Wallenberg

All the threads about muh colonialism are giga annoying what tf has that shit got to do with looksmaxxing.

 

[Wallenberg]

Ever heard about the Marshall Plan?

Marshall Plan was an aid program to some Western European countries. And it on its own wasn't enough to make countries rich.

And there is a lot of aid given to developing countries. Some of it goes to corrupt elites, but that's not colonialism's fault.

It's all down to genetics at this point. Homogenous nations just perform better. Japan great example.

Colonialism did exploit those nations but it also gave back in return...improving infrastructure as an example


If a nation once thrived that means they have the capability of picking themselves up again. If a nation is thriving and something happens and for some reason can't establish equilibrium it just means they were never suppose to reach that economic level in the first place.

Yes it wasnt enough to make them rich but it was enough to get them started. Also the US invested in Japan, Korea and China for it's profit. How is the middle east supposed to progress when the US and Israel destabilize their countries just to exploit some oil reserves?

I don't think it's only because of genetics. I think countries can develop if they adopt the right policies and fix their culture. For example, I can see India having a bright future with the right policies.

China and Korea received trillions in loans and foreign investment into industry though, meanwhile African countries are still fighting over water rights against European corporations

That comes back to brain power. Germany was so inflated after WW1 they literally elected Hitler and came back thriving so hard despite all the odds against them. All they needed was a proper leader despite international gangsters doing everything in their power to keep them under debt slavery.


India has so much shit going on it's unreal. Too much racial differences that live with one another,

We'll see what happens to them but I don't think they will ever become properly developed as a western country could unless there was some kind of intervention by whites. They have a high GDP but that doesn't correlate to higher standards of living.

 

[Kroker]

@GypsyEyes, what do you think about this?

 

[Wallenberg]

Proof of corrupt elites stealing part of the development aid:

This paper documents that aid disbursements to highly aid-dependent countries coincide with sharp increases in bank deposits in offshore financial centers known for bank secrecy and private wealth management, but not in other financial centers.

India has a very low GDP per capita. Of course India has a high GDP because there are 1.4 billion Indians. When measuring living standards we should measure GDP per person, not the total GDP. Average Swiss is way wealthier than average Russian despite Russia having higher GDP (because GDP per person is higher in Switzerland).

 

[looksmaxxed]

the very fact that these countries were colonized indicates an inherent inferiority to the colonizer. is it really surprising that the people who were the beneficiaries of much harsher evolutionary pressures would develop the the ability to create great civilizations, build ships and sophisticated weapons, travel the world, and subjugate anybody they come across much faster than everyone else? and it wouldn't be a uniquely european thing to do. any equally advanced civilization would have done the same. it just so happens no one else was even close. to say if these primitive civilizations had been left alone they'd have become just as successful as europe is really delusional and low iq. most likely by delaying colonization, it would have just delayed the development of their society that much longer. if we waited only until now in 2022 to go into africa, it'll still be mud huts and naked people hunting wild boars living in abject ignorance and squalor. it's no coincidence that the people who were never able to leave their continent because they haven't even invented the wheel much less the ship, like the native americans/amerindians, africans, and australian aboriginals, would have the lowest iqs in the world.

Foreign aid = high interest rate loans by jews that you have to repay and will stunt your economy even more, and if you don't take them you are raped by even more sanctions

Also Ireland was colonised had famines, giga mass emmigration, unindustrialised, rural, religious and ethnic tensions the whole third world experience and now has a successful economy and country.
The Celtic Tiger period has also been called "The Boom" or "Ireland's Economic Miracle". During that time, the country experienced a period of economic growth that transformed it from one of Western Europe's poorer countries into one of its wealthiest.

How is Thailand poor? Thailand has the 20th largest economy as measured by total GDP (PPP) / average per capita income of $16000.

It has the second largest economy in SE Asia after Indonesia. There is poverty and crime in Thailand but nowhere close to other south east asian countries

Lol, just lol.

Foreign aid is not a loan. It is aimed to alleviate human suffering and help communities recover from crises. Countries that receive international aid do not have to pay it back. Foreign aid is given voluntarily by donor countries and they do not expect it to be repaid.

Is Foreign Aid a Loan? We Explain - Humanitarian Careers

Foreign aid is financial, or material assistance given by donor countries to help nations facing conflicts, disasters or poverty. Some countries, such as the US, UK, France and Germany give millions of dollars each year in foreign aid. This raises the question, what do they expect in return? Do...

Yeah, Thailand isn't very poor, but neither it is rich. It's quite an average country globally.

Antisemitism is a low IQ coping mechanism. Jews are successful and rich, maybe that's why ethnics hate them. They are high IQ too.

But if poor countries want to stop getting foreign aid (which aren't loans), then let's stop giving aid to them.

Ireland got away with having a very favourable business tax/regulation environment inside the EU, which made them a compelling site of operations for multinationals wanting to access the EU market and labour pool.

It's a recent phenomenon and has little to do with 150 years of history. As late as the 90s, Ireland had a GDP/capita about 70% of the UK. By the turn of the millennium they were on the same level and today Ireland's is some 80% higher.

Yeah and Ireland's GDP isn't comparable due to being a tax haven for corporations. That is why Ireland's central bank has developed a modified GDP that is better for comparing Ireland's economy to other economies. But Ireland still is an affluent 1st world country.

They also got cucked by excessive underpriced exports to the uk preventing growth and also emmigration to the uk and out of ireland. Ireland is doing better not just due to favourable economic conditions but also because so many less people are leaving and also good friday was important aswell.

can't speak for others, but this is true for my country - 500 years of fighting off the Ottomans, used as a military frontier while in the Habsburg Monarchy, constantly assaulted by Hungary and Venice, devastated in WW1, completely destroyed in WW2, lost like 30% of the economy in the 90s war with serbian goatfuckers; still, all that could have been overcame if the local people and politicians weren't lazy and corrupt

It's an excuse for being lazy.

They will continue to be exploited by the Chinese which is a good thing. They have no use for their own resources because they will inevitably be taken over by criminal gangs.
