WorldsStrongestNerd posted:In any case, I've always found it fascinating how the white man got on the cusp of total world domination, then got cold feet and pulled back in a wave of doubt and self disgust. physical occupation of a place is exhaustive of both manpower and resources and national will. we just figured out it's 1000000% easier to rule them economically, and leave any acts of physical coercion (when necessary) to whatever local group is willing to suck our dicks for the time being

Well first off you would have to dig a shitload of man made canals all over the continent in order to have enough water to supply agriculture. Maybe even turn a mountain range into an inland sea. Africas hosed because poo poo is too spread out.

mdm posted:capitalism and tribalism are actually quite similar it really isn't because tribalism is an entire governence system where as capitalism is all based in the economy. Tribalism still keeps loving the native american tribes that still roll with it. The tribes that integrated into modern society and did poo poo like start banks and just have their ancestry just be a novel point of intrest all are thriving. Because on native american reservations the tribal leader always plays favorites. So if you fix up your house nice the chief or whatver can force you to give up your place to his friends or cronies or else you're exiled. That's why nobody really fixes poo poo on reservations, because the moment something looks nice it gets taken away from them..

One of the reasons that you don't know about African cultures and achievements is that the colonizers actively attempted to destroy and suppress that knowledge. When the evidence was too large for that to work, like with the Great Zimbabwe ruins, they instead tried to claim that white people actually built them. You see some Romans got lost one day and ended up in the middle of southern Africa.

Tramadol Junkie posted:Because of their low IQ's, simian-like brains, laziness, their stupidity, their complete inability to handle even the simplest tasks. Their is so much research demonstrating that Africans do not perform well on standardized tests of intelligence, college entrance exams, and in terms of academic achievement. In fact, they perform abysmally, in all regards, and so outside the norms that one must question their very humanity. Africa is almost nearly an entire continent inundated with a mass of human failures. All humans have "simian-like brains". That's because humans are simians, so whatever our brains are like is, by definition, "simian-like". lmfbo at calling other people stupid when you don't understand basic phylogeny.

Fitzy Fitz posted:Europe still had full-blown colonies in Africa into the 1960s, and when that system collapsed it wasn't a dignified handing over of power--it was through civil war and rebellion. Since then it's been a struggle for African countries to get off the ground for the same reason a lot of Middle Eastern countries are still so lovely. Borders were drawn by Europeans with no consideration for African ethnic and cultural presence, so you have people groups split between multiple countries and majority groups oppressing those split minorities because that's what people do. The people in charge are backed up by Europe, America, and Asia because it's not like colonies going out of style was going to stop outsiders from wanting all those resources. But D&D taught me that civil war and revolution leads to a socialist utopia???
