    Great point from OOP there, now do Africa before and after European colonialism.

    “This continent/culture/country is so undeveloped and primitive,” says the person whose ancestors made said continent/culture/country like that by fucking them over, stealing pretty much everything they had, and destroying the systems they had had in place for decades or centuries.

    As an African citizen I completely agree with this. We don’t even need internet here. In fact, I’m posting this reply via carrier pigeons.

    This (the original tweet) shit is 100% Russian agitprop fwiw. They know precisely how to sow cynicism in western progressives and leftists which just so happens to interact with their interests and Donald Trump’s policies. It’s actually very obvious to anyone who doesn’t get high on their own farts

        No, but they exploit and enable them. Anything to fan the flames of your enemies’ internal struggle.

      Ah yes, progressives and leftists, notoriously concerned with government waste and undeserving foreigners, this original tweet definitely wouldn’t have any effect on the “I’m not racist but” moderates that the Biden and Harris campaigns chased after by getting tough on asylum seekers and talking about having the most lethal military in the world /s

      Incidentally, what do you suppose that watermelon in the reply name means?

        The watermelon was, at least at one point, a show of support for Palestinians’ struggles. Something about sharing colors with their flag.

        But as with all symbols, this may not be accurate to their meaning of it. I was basing it off the trans flag next to it (a not uncommon pairing).

    The real irony is that most of the aid money is spent paying charities that in turn pay for yuropeean or 'murican companies or organizations to do stuff the way they consider ideal. Coldfusion TV has a very good video on the topic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aExnZ-1eHY

        My friend was complaining about his phone (battery draining to zero in within 2-3 hours, even when idle). He went ahead and bought a replacement battery. when he opened the phone, that battery was as swollen as Kirby.

    africans are simply so powerful that they telepathically communicate with each other and with satellites, this is of course also how the egyptians built the pyramids, they simply levitated the rocks with their minds.

    Sadly this ability was lost as people spent time outside the continent, until the modern day where even a single non-native african ancestor completely suppresses the supreme mental power.
