Congratulations, you now understand the primary function of aid in geopolitics
Aid is a temporary solution for an unvorseable event.
It can and must not be a permanent solution ever, like its the case in Africa....
it's also a tool to create dependency and control a country's resources
if you're their only reliable food supply, they have no choice but to give you favourable trade deals and allow you to take whatever you want
Remember when, instead of teaching people how to purify water, they decided to ship them those fucking straws?
@Stefan Payne the best type of aid is ideas
conservatives are just like the left change my mind
Far-right and the far-left are the same
those are the logical extremes
Conservatives and left do tolerate each other
the right will be similar to germany and the left russia
with time ofc
I dont understand whats being argued
In what way are you asserting that they're similar
no hes just jerking me off
yeah philosophically they are similar
```@Stefan Payne the best type of aid is ideas```
Exactly! And the people need to want the idas and changes. And I don't really see that in Africa...
Just a thing to think about:
In the 1950 the GDP of Kenya was superior to that of (South) Korea.
Today South Korea is far superior to Kenya. Why is that? The only conclusion is that it is because of the people., And that is a "Resource" that is grossly underestimated.
@Stefan Payne the closer people get to reason the more they prosper
look the west once we took Aristotles rational egoism and laws of logic
```Far-right and the far-left are the same```
The ideas are different, the outcome and forms of gouvernment are the same.
Just look at the Institutions of Nazi Germany and the Communist East Germany. You'll find many similaritys. And the commies had not less deaths due to the gouvernment than the Nazis, just the cause was different.
BUT: The holodomor was IMO more evil than the working camps of Nazi Germany.
Just imagine that you'll be shot because you eat grains that you collected, while already starving. Is there anything more evil than shooting a starving person that is trying his/her best to survive??
communism is just more altruisitic
anything anyone does for their benefit is evil
a man robbing a bank and a millionaire are both as evil in their eyes
Ah yes, being forced to share is altruistic
@Blackhawk342 the only reasons they are being forced to share is because of the prevalent philosophy
personally nazis are more individualistic but that quickly changes with time
@Blackhawk342 living for others is evil
@Stefan Payne look at china as soon as it started to embrace western values its quality of life raised from people starving all the time to what it is now
its not perfect of course
sargon is retarded change my mind
>prove a negative
@Blackhawk342 hes extremely inconsistent and hops between individualism and collectivism whenever he is challenged
he also calls for government regulation when he says he wants property rights to be protected
>collectivism
When?
>government regulation
Government's purpose is to protect private property
@Beemann no he called for regulating facebook
let me find the video again
no need i know he did
That's because people feel social media is becoming an Oligopoly
The social media isnt the issue
I disagree with their line of reasoning, but that doesn't make it stupid
