@Deleted User I think you're missing the context here.

Some of these international environmental treaties force the third world to act a certain way, or prevent them from using certain resources in a manner we consider "unclean"

Oh, well

My bad then

I just finished a lecture and I saw the last bit of the convo

you pretty much saw the whole thing, we just started

Yeah, the article was about how building dams in industrializing nations is "bad"

I was bitching about people not wanting hydroelectric dams

Well, I guess the West has some kind of interest in keeping third world countries as shitholes

Yes, let's prevent sub Sahara Africa from using coal, diesel, or hydro electric

Cuz if we industrialise them they will start using their own oil xD

and i just said it wasnt without consequences

And we won't be able to bring democracy there anymore

<:GWcmeisterPeepoShrug:403295315685539852>

in order to advance, we will need to permanently affect parts of the landscape by turning them into sustainable sources of electricity

instead of constantly relying on burning shit

They can do that themselves tho

If we teach them

@Angus Don't you see?!? That was a mistake WE made!!

How to use their resources

But we don't cuz we greedy

Well, our governments

@Angus we can't let the Noble Savage repeat our mistakes

the people behind the mass media don't want people to have dependable electricity and advancement, so I'm against that

You mean our successes?

SUCCESS ON THE BACKS OF SLAVERY

Kek

I mean we could have done all that ourselves

The only thing people used slaves for is physical labour

if you invent hand mills, then you invent water mills/ windmills, if you want to uplift another people, you give them the water/wind mills, not the hand mills

All the technology came from our heads not theirs

We invented, they built

That's because we had PRIVILEGE

<:GWfroggyPepoThumb:400751103223922689>

<:frogpipe:310055729598038016>

And the slaves got swoll

So that's their privilege

They did hard work and now they have bigger dicks than us <:GWqlabsKek:393085130219978752>

just because the africans enslaved africans, doesn't excuse american ancestors from buying them and then freeing them

Yes?
