Is history cyclical, or teleological?
African countries have airplanes and smartphones now.
>>18539762They don't make either of those things, and they don't know how to train airplane pilots either, they have to do that abroad as well.
>>18539762that someone else made. they wouldnt be able to reproduce modern technology on their own if their life depended on it.
>>18539773>They don't make either of those thingsMost states don't make smartphones or airplanes.>they don't know how to train airplane pilots either, they have to do that abroad as well.They do that locally anon.You do know they have airlines right?>Ethiopian Airlines trains its pilots at the Ethiopian Aviation University (formerly known as the Ethiopian Aviation Academy), which operates two main campuses in Ethiopia: the primary facility at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa and a second dedicated pilot training center in Hawassa.>>18539774>they wouldnt be able to reproduce modern technology on their own if their life depended on it.Applies to everyone anon. This is a globalized world, there is no state that "makes everything". A collapse in the supply and/or manufacturing chain would cause major setbacks world wide.Holy shit you two are retarded.
>>18539773You don't make those things either, dipshit.
>>18539773>they don't know how to train airplane pilots eitherSeems Brazil doesn't either, but they're roughly the same demographics
>>18539774Outside of the East Asian tech corridor literally no state can. Lmao we went from people being totally abstracted from the farm to market process to people thinking they still do manufacturing.
>>18539757It's neither. It's pretty self evident by now.
>>18539773>>18539774coming down to your house to break everything in it that you didn't personally make, expect me
>>18539757>First flightDo Americans really believe this?
>>18540257Yea we do
>>18539757>>18539762It's okay for people to not know, but it's not okay to put forward that ignorance as facts.>>18540267Like this guy here. Brazil has an aircraft industry.
>>18540006White and East Asian countries use the globalized system but they wouldn’t revert to mudhuts in the event of a collapse of global trade.Europe didn’t import heavy machinery, they built it.Africa has the most resources, a vast reserve of manpower, their deficits are entirely self inflicted but you won’t admit this because1. It means leftism is wrong, we are not all the same with differences being purely material condition.2. It means no matter how much gibs you throw at an 85IQ race they will never produce a country the same as or even similar to a 105IQ race.3. You’re a seething black supremacist trying to square the circle of blacks being victims of misfortune but otherwise highly capable while also being totally unable to even imitate industrial societies.
>>18540547Aircraft industries don’t train pilots.Air Brazil is less reliable than air Europe, it’s about proportional to how many Europeans live in Brazil.technology is a racial quirk of Europeans, that’s just a fact.The natural state of non-Europeans is exactly what they venerate and generate, animalistic stupidity.
>>18539757>teleologicalI don't know what this means and I can't be arsed to look it up.
>>18540540No you idiot, YOU do not make those things. I could lock YOU in a room with all the raw materials and tools you'd need to make a smartphone or airplane and you'd just sit there staring at it like a hog looking at a wristwatch.
>>18539757It is teleological because even when societies fail not everything is lost and the new starting point is a higher one than the previous. People wont suddenly forget great works of art and science and so forth. Even africa is evolving but in its own timeline of course. There are similar convergence spaces though, so the same teleology can play out in different contexts. I dont know if the universe itself is cyclical or teleological.
>>18540642>technology is a racial quirk of Europeanslol
>>18540642>The natural state of non-Europeans is exactly what they venerate and generate, animalistic stupidity.The the audacity of saying this while getting logged by Asians lmao.
>>18540640>they wouldn’t revert to mudhuts in the event of a collapse of global trade.Several would be catastrophically fucked up.>Europe didn’t import heavy machinery, they built it.Long ago. It's 2026 now and there way more competition in local markets and abroad.>Africa has the most resources, a vast reserve of manpower.What? Africa is extremely underpopulated.>their deficits are entirely self inflicted but you won’t admit this becauseSome are (obviosly) but a fuckton of it is out of their control. You think they had control over covid or the USA fucking up trade along the strait of Hormuz, lets not forget climate change.The rest of your post is obsessive and deranged bitching over Africans. Like you are literally getting your oil prices fucked by the Isreali's and you'd STILL try to find some way to blame blacks somehow
>>18540802>Africa is extremely underpopulated.The Mercator projection has really messed up the perception of Africa. It is monstrously big. And outside the Sahara it's mostly inhabitable, unlike Asia for example that has a huge chunk covered by taiga and permafrost.
>>18539762Where did they get those? Lol.
>>18540875Same way every other country does. Welcome to 2026.
>>18540534That's okay, people of my race/country can build more.
>>18540885>people of my race/countryWhy would they care about you? Where the fuck are you from kid?
>>18540885>The white people in the country I snuck into can build moreFixed that for you, Pablo.
>>18540907>implying they can build/manufacture in 2026 outside of a few remaining sectors.The whole "bring it back" hysteria in NA and Europe is so weird
>>18541126A lot of it is kneejerk racist delusions regarding China's existence. There's a ton of insecurity
>>18539762And cannibalism. Lots of that.
>>18541126We could totally bring it all back, it’s just the middle and upper classes are unwilling to give up their treats, their cheap devices. If America put a total embargo on all imports, and held firm to it, domestic manufacturing would eventually reassert itself and we’d be self-sufficient.
>>18541162Not really but it seems like you're some sort of evengelical/non-denominational LatAm chud so you'll attach on any narrative that lets you "punch down".>>18541163>We could totally bring it all backNope, only idiots who extremely trivialize the steps it takes to become industrialized and maintaining the key skills and financing required.>it’s just the middle and upper classes are unwilling to give up their treats, their cheap devices.Sad cope. Many western companies have extremely fucked up cost valuation for their product lines. Not to mention they almost all totally abandoned the cost efficient tiers and started enshittifying the upper tier product SKU's by arbitrarily gating features.>If America put a total embargo on all imports, and held firm to it, domestic manufacturing would eventually reassert itself and we’d be self-sufficient.Pull a Brazil and shoot whatever is remaining in the head because local manufacturers have no real reason to improve their goods in a captured market like it's some backwater colony.
>>18541163If you worked anywhere close to a job that involves the phrases design engineering, product management or procurement, you'd know this isn't magic. You need people with highly specialized industry skills that US/Europe stopped training decades ago.
