G-d's children shall inherit the future uncontested as wh*te fertility rates drop to zero.
>>18577907And like all phobias it is an irrational fear, the best cure for which is exposure therapy.
>>18577907The truth is that these cities and countries are massive, and are more poor on avarage, so the slummy areas exist on a mind-boggling scale. The same cities also have well-off areas and they look like normal cities. Pic is from somewhere downtown in Karachi.It's probably best to compare these cities to early industrial era London, much of that city was also a complete shithole, the main difference is scale, as London never reached 10s of millions of people.
another great history and humanities thread. jannies, get on it
>>18577978And in third world countries, people who can afford it do the same thing they do in the West: they fuck off from shithole megacities and move to the suburbs.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Cairo
>>18577907VGH… just imagine dragging some uppity firsties to a prime SLVM to experience real life for the first time in their ”lives”
>>18577907Amazing how a person can make so many good points in a 10 minute video and still come to the wrong conclusion.Ultimately this is all crapitalism's fault, here's why:The fear of losing yourself in the mass, the loss of individuality and being reduced to a replaceable economic unit, that's what we call alienation and it is very much caused by crapitalismCrapitalism, being the immensely inefficient system that it is, does produce huge amounts of waste. And it's not just physical resources like wire that are wasted, human resources are too. Instead of being employed in more productive tasks, millions of people are forced to make shoddy knockoff products on the cheap. The West imports all this human capital but what does it do with it? It employs them as Uber Eats delivery drivers and gardeners. GDP goes up but society doesn't benefit. There is a way to put this human capital to productive use but crapitalists prefer using them inefficiently.Letting things be decided by the free market only leads to disaster. Megacities in the third world look so ramshackle because there are no zoning laws in place. Private construction companies can do as they please, the result is the haphazard construction of buildings and roads without any regards for aesthetics or even safety, prioritizing profits above all.Inevitably since these structures were built with the cheapest materials available they collapse, resulting in frequent accidents and unnecessary loss of life. This just highlights the need for REGULATION(s).As for rotting colonial architecture, the state is often bankrupt in these countries, the money to restore them simply isn't there. Where are all the private entrepreneurs when you need them? Wasn't the market supposed to step in where the state fails?The lesson is clear: crapitalism creates shitholes. Got it memorized, chuddies?

>>18577978>as London never reached 10s of millions of people.But it was one of the largest cities on Earth for quite some time and a lot of the written and personal experiences of Lindon back then is hard to really truly understand for most people.>>18577988>people who can afford it do the same thing they do in the WestThat's mainly an Anglospherehere thing and most Suburbs aren't that great. New Cairo is basically the state and the somewhat well off trying to bunker down away from the main population but service wise it's still flimsy.The only states that still push subsurb expansions ate dtayes with shtty urban planning and corrupt officials.
>>18578043Make me faggot
>>18577942>you just want to have sex with spiders
>>18578195Unless you are spiderman
>>18577907Always wondered how many /his/ posters are braindead slumdogs that see at least one corpse rotting outside their house each week
>>18577988>the same thing they do in the West: they fuck off from shithole megacities and move to the suburbsfuck off amerimutt, you dont know shit
>>18578041A ton of the architecture in Europe is also being neglected and rotting. There's the Egyptian Halls in Glasgow that was neglected for 40 years because the owner decided that letting it rot and covering it up at the minimum to prevent the building from falling into the streets for FORTY YEARS was the most efficient way to manage it. If it collapses to the ground than he can just sell the land or build a condo on top.
>>18578027Why didn’t capitalism turn White countries into White girl factories??Almost like it’s biological/racial not economical which is the foundation of historical processes.
>>18578041^This.
>>18577917contradiction. God's children are the White people.
>>18578445why do foreign mutts seethe so hard at Ameripures
>>18577942>t. gullible retard
>>18578027kill yourself, commie rat
>>18577942Correct. Fear of the third world is easily cured by exposure to it, at which point you will feel contempt for the third world, which is a much healthier emotional expression.
>>18578027If capitalism is the problem then why does America and Europe (before the browns raided) not turn into shitholes like Cairo? Capitalism is why most of America is a paradise actually but sure its not flawless
>>18578027>The fear of losing yourself in the mass, the loss of individuality and being reduced to a replaceable economic unit, that's what we call alienationsurely collectivism will solve this
>>18580055>why does America and Europe (before the browns raided) not turn into shitholes like Cairo?Oh they are turning bad in their own ways. Infrastructure neglect, housing quantity decline, bad urban planning, environmental damage and electrical grid strain, polticians have lost any real state building and maintenence competency . The phenomena takes on many diverse forms and there's no one size fits all timeline but it's pretty blatant.
>>18580049Spamming graphs out of context isn't a proper response. Especially in a field as infamous as economics. This isn't reddit.
>>18580053I've had good times in developing countries. Not every city there is a Cairo.
>>18580127wym out of context?
>>18580136You don't throw data graphs at people to demonstrate a point. It's just throwing a bunch of stuff at people and basically forcing them to either do your work for you or waste time having to pick apart each single thing piece by piece which doesn't work irl or on the internet.
>>18580139I mean yeah you also don't throw strawman comics and barely-coherent ideological word salad at people either and yet it happens.
>>18580145I'm not that anon though. Also it's weird to bring up environmental performance in an era where mass pollution in the developed world has only expanded and climate change is currently wrecking them with heat waves. Which you'd think capital would be able to help mitigate eith the warnings and several precedents but alas the art of basic 21st HVAC and home cooling has been lost in Europe.
>>18580162>>18580139>>18580127You're extremely insufferable and considering some of the other retards on this board that's saying a lot
>>18578027>capitalism is when no regulations and communism is when regulationsextremely american post
>>18577907That video is kind of self-masturbatory; disingenous at times; presentist; and the implicit premise is one no one actually believes in.And to be frank I think the insect colony thing is basically projection. Huwhites are the most insect-like of all the human races, as far as such a thing even exists. An eusocial insect colony is typically orderly, efficient, clean. If anything, the average 'third world' city is more like a prairie dog town, or a bird nesting colony than an ant-hill. But those don't have the negative connotations those icky bugs have!Though I guess it really illustrates how truly futile the excercise of investigating the traits of human populations is when the authors of the industrial revolution and global logistics, characterized by tightly organized forms of socialized labor, come to regard themselves as 'individualistic' and their 'others' as akin to eusocial insects. It becomes more a case of the use and abuse of XYZ for life.
>If anything, the average 'third world' city is more like a prairie dog town, or a bird nesting colony than an ant-hillI think even prairie dogs and birds clean their nests rather than actively taking glee in trashing them, cleiton da macacovera
>>18580283They don't, I don't know about birds but prairie dogs have dumps for their dirt (which is most of the garbage they produce, being herbivore rodents and all) near their homes (and around the entrance), it's the first thing you'd notice about their burrows. Which would be analogous to the streets (which is not anyone's house, and as such not seen worthy of cleaning by anyone) of a third world city.
>>18580306Do thirdies not understand the tragedy of the commons, or is it just cognitively less taxing to pray to santa muerte or pachamama when neighbors start dying from rat-related diseases
>>18580307That was a defining characteristic of urban environments (exceptions apply, but funnily enough none of them are in Europe) prior to the sanitary revolution of the 19th century (and still today rats and cities are inseparable) which was led chiefly by the state. Waste Management for the poor (like the people in your pic) is a very recent innovation. Then of course you have the horses. It's actually a really interesting topic, we owe a lot of what we know about ancient societies to their trash.
>>18580322That I know of, anyway. Europeans exceptions may exist.
3rd world cities are extreme case of what happens when there is no zoning or HOAs. slums are informal settlements. It would be impossible to have slums in the 1st world, because every building requires a permit.China handled it better. Like USSR, China has city registration system, where you can't just move where you want to, you need a city residence permit. Too many people moving into cities overwhelms the municipal services, which are probably underfunded in 1st world. Ideally, you need to control freedom of movement within a country, and restrict access to cities for rural people, until more housing and municipal services become available. then you let some rural people in, but not all of them.
>>18580322This. People forget that until the turn of the century, the largest Western cities like New York and London were infamous for being filthy cesspits.https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/when-new-yorkers-lived-knee-deep-in-trash/Even when you go to some smaller European cities, you can usually hear local stories about at least one location that was an infamous garbage dump full of animal carcasses before it was cleaned up.The only real difference is scale, there are just much more people now than 150 years ago, so trash-filled dumps are bigger too. Also, people use more plastic wrapping, which is harder to clean up than the mostly organic waste in the past.
>>18580348>>18580322People also forget about how much of a daily effort waste management services perform to keep cities somewhat clean. Whenever waste collection breaks down for a few weeks because of a strike or other issue, the streets very quickly start looking like third-world cities. Not because people living there are inherently filthy and don't take care of their environment, but if there is nowhere for trash to go, it will end up on the streets. This is what streets in Paris looked like after 3 weeks of a garbagemen's strike in 2023.
