IMMIGRATION thread

[Husar]

No, don't know why you would interpret it that way. It's a scale.

If it is realistic for the inhabitants to create a functioning country, then they are failing as long as they aren't actually doing that. Blaming outside forces for their lack of success is then a distraction since they could have succeeded, anyway.

Blaming Montmorency for not understanding your argument is a distraction since you could have made a good argument anyway.

Did you consider that a lot of regions in Africa etc. had functioning societies before colonialization?
And that e.g. former French colonies are still under a "pretty heavy" influence from France?
In other countries the local economies are destroyed by cheap imports from western mass production that they cannot compete without without buying really expensive technology from the west for which they have to take really heavy loans from the west and so on.
And then fisher boats take away all their fish because hey, we gotta look out for our profits.
But of course this is the fault of Africans for not having invented the nuke first and not having nuked the Europeans away when it was still socially acceptable.
