whoow.
there's plenty like him in africa
Which African nation?

Uganda

Where everybody knows kung fu
Too much of a #shithole to be worth mentioning in the title.
Welp, given that the usual accusation is that Trump hates all African nations, I can see why they did it
the west should take lots of blame on the state of africa today, but it has nothing to do with the period of colonization
1. we give them foreign aid, which just amplifies corruption and has zero benefit in the long term - actually negative effects, not just zero benefit
mmm
2. we take their most disenfranchised people, by allowing them to emigrate - the people who would be agents of change
I tend to look at it as a parent still giving their drug-addicted child money
3. we take their most intelligent people, by allowing them to emigrate
you're not actually *helping* them by doing that
the points I make above are proven, this is not nonsense, and yet every year people donate billions to foreign aid, and the only positive effect of it is that you feel like a good person for a few hours
I always thought those adverts on TV asking me to donate were WRONG
and can brag about it at parties later
to others who are unaware of the destructive effects of foreign aid
I think the book that is easiest to digest on the subject is https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Aid-Working-Better-Africa/dp/0374532125
Dude has an interesting twitter
Even starts talking about how Bismarck and Junkers helped to unify Germany, which I wasn't expecting
etc etc
I won't spam it, but it's quite an interesting read anyway
Especially after reading the drivel that leaders like Mugabe spewed for decades
mugabe hasn't just written drivel, he's a hateful, stupid, ignorant man
He compared himself to Hitler. Enough said.
>"I am still the Hitler of the time. This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources. If that is Hitler, then let me be Hitler tenfold. Ten times, that is what we stand for."
can you imagine saying something so stupid, and I'm not even talking about the comparison to hitler - the rest of the statement is stupid enough
