Interesting how a place with the same GDP per capita as India looks normal…

Ngl I consider myself to be pretty progressive but when I googled what Angola looks like I was actually surprised.

I’ve seen pictures of smaller cities in China that look more or less the same as that in terms of development.

Like I knew there were more developed parts of Africa like Nairobi in Kenya or Cape Town or Pretoria in South Africa, I just hadn’t heard anybody ever mention Angola for some reason.

I just don’t get how people can believe the racist worldview though. It seems so obvious. Neo Nazis for example will cite fake IQ statistics and say that wealth is determined by IQ and IQ is determined by genetics. Except, there have been prosperous Asian nations for quite some time so in order to explain that they needed to say that Asians have higher IQs than whites. Except, then when the demographics shifted, Asian countries started aging, Japan went from the second largest economy to now I guess the 5th after India just recently surpassed them. So now they want us to believe that wealth is determined by IQ but white people have lower IQs than Asians, but are wealthier than Asians. I just don’t get how people can lie to themselves to this extent.

Demographic statistics like birth rates and average age and population pyramids and what percentage of the population is of working age seem like they explain economies way more accurately. And Africa is the poorest continent, but they by far have the best demographics out of any region of the world. Their average age is 19, so even if the population didn’t increase at all, they could double their workforce when people get older since half of the people aren’t working age yet, except their population is also growing at the same time. But nobody in the west is taking them seriously…

Detroit was very prosperous before the jobs went overseas (to Asia).
Now China produces more cars than the United States and Japan combined.

Detroit has a lot of abandoned houses - they’re big houses.

During World War Two, part of the reason why we won the war with Japan is because in Detroit, the government forced car manufacturers to convert auto plants into tank plants. Just putting that out there. Don’t google how many we have now.

But oh, no, Detroit has black people and you don’t like black people. Never mind the fact the United States wouldn’t exist if that didn’t happen.

How many cars does Angola have to produce in order for you to not feel oppressed by the existence of Angola from the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean?

And if you really are so superior, why do you feel oppressed that Angolans on the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean aren’t making enough cars for you? How does that affect you?

It’s like, imagine this. Imagine you live in a neighborhood and you have a house. You can look at your neighbors house across the street and judge your neighbor and say, "Oh why doesn’t my neighbor mow his lawn, why doesn’t my neighbor have a higher paying job, why is my neighbor so this, why is my neighbor so that." But at the end of the day, you’re just sitting on your porch complaining and not doing anything to change anything to make your household better. That’s like what you’re doing, but with countries. You can sit back and judge Africa all you want, it doesn’t fix your problems.

If you were really oh so upset that Angolans aren’t building enough cars, and you really wanted the best for Angolans and you really honest to God believed that the thing that Angolan people needed was to produce more cars and then all their problems would be solved because you in your heart really cared about Angola - you would go to Angola and build a car factory. But you’re not doing that, because you can’t even build a car factory here, because you’re not rich enough to build a car factory here, and you’re not rich enough to build a car factory there, and you don’t even want to.
