I kind of don't get this piece. Like if I get off my phone I get somehow punished? Only good things come from less phone use and there is no boogey man punishing you for getting off social media, it is just yourself and your addicted zoomer brain. Still cool piece though.

No, you misunderstood the picture. It's supposed to show you that if you get off your phone you realize that you are being enslaved by these social media sites that make money from you by wasting your time and feeding you unnecessary information. The lawn mowers are the corporations stripping you off your time and preventing you from upholding your own life.

midwit take

This sounds good until you think about it. Pilots have to go through training and proper testing before being responsible for the lives of passengers on commercial airlines. They have to follow an international standard and can be measure on performance and flight hours.

Politicians on the other hand can technically come from any background usually legal and the barrier to entry is just how well you speak public ally and get along with people. The problem is there's not measurement or standard to follow so depending on the people you're around you can change your talking points, accent, opinions, policies in order to garner votes.

There's also no objective standard on "The right way" of running a country or having a correct policy. There's lots of WRONG ways like communism/fascism because those systems always lead to citizens lives being measurably worse as parts of the population are killed due to famine/camps/governmentsanctioned killing etc. but it's hard to say "This is the right thing to do" when you wont know the downstream effect until years later. Politicians also need to work within their timeframe, sometimes a policy that was good 30 years ago when the environment was different doesn't work well now.

You can tell a retarded leftist made this shit. A politician is a representative of the people so if he loses touch with the common man that is a huge issue and a valid critique of those running the country, but a pilot only needs know how to fly a plane safely and no one gives a shit if he understand the average passenger a retarded analogy.

Do retards that make shit like that understand that trade and business with richer countries brings in wealth and opportunity to these places and allows them to rise quickly in quality of life?
Especially when compared with places that don't have it.
And all this is voluntary, they get higher wages that way than comparable labor in other sectors.
Change comes with time and everything is not going to get better immediately but they are on the upswing.
>>
>>7370276
playing devils advocate, mass industry and global trade have been around for decades now. there isnt some secret unknown problem going on in those corrupt nations. its almost been a century, how much longer are they expected to wait for things to "get better" for them?

They already have, the quality of life has been steadily going up for a long time, despite people who claim otherwise. Things like food availability, earnings, life expectancy, health, living conditions, etc, they have been going up.

It took hundreds of years to build the west's advanced economies as well. Nobody is saying that white people are some kind of a blessing that automatically makes problems go away when they're nearby, development takes work and investment from everyone who wants to have it regardless of if it's achieved in isolation or with external help.
In any case most third worlders do have access to things like better medicine and the internet and other technology, not to mention the opportunity to go work overseas.
And where they don't, you can usually find some attempt at socialism or communism at the point where their development flatlines or goes into reverse. A hundred years ago New York and Buenos Aires were equally rich and had the same rate of advancement. Most of Africa is piss poor because right past decolonialization all the countries adopted African Socialism which prevented them from trading with each other. It's not the westerner's fault that third worlders keep shooting themselves in the foot.
I think the joke in the image is that the white guy is wearing a socialist icon on his shirt while all the actual subjects of socialism do everything for him, and he's just smugly looking at you as if saying "isn't socialism great, we should do this here too"
>>
>>7370330
What are you talking about?
>>
>>7370290
Maybe the west shouldn't have destabilized those countries for their own geopolitical interests then. There have been so many times where the western organization interfered with developing countries since they didn't want strong nations in certain regions because they always want countries that they can easily control and manipulate.

>>7370420
The soviets did it too and the chinese communists are still doing it. It sucks when countries become play pieces for greater powers, but that doesn't mean that the west is uniquely at fault. Or even uniquely the beneficiary.
And even if the strawman case was reality, what are you going to do about it? Wait? And then ask how long you're expected to wait?
>>
>>7370436
You are justifying evil deeds with your own confirmation bias. Just because they also do it doesn't mean the west is not morally corrupt. The west has been doing it for a lot longer in the first place because the people living in the west are oblivious or indifferent to it all. Those people are as guilty for being stupid and ignorant. Well, don't cry about it if it comes around and bite you in the ass then, which is exactly what happening in the US and Europe these days. Every empire collapses on it's own incompetence and corruption after all.

Africa wasn't "destabilized" by westerners at all. The continent, before European contact, was a sea of tribes so embroiled in tribal warfare that the people literally couldn't afford to own anything, as if they did, it would be stolen the next day and then used to brutalize the original owners.
European colonization began with the importation of firearms which stabilized the continent and allowed a few warlords to conquer multiple tribes, which could then be taken over by Europeans. Today African national borders are more stable than European national borders.

Talk about confirmation bias, you think because the west was more powerful than other that they are morally bankrupt and the other are innocent? Others have done it throughout history way before they ever met any westerners.
All peoples all over the world are guilty of this, only their ability to do it and the scale was different.
Hell if some of those kingdoms of the past had the power the US had they would have just wiped out their competition.
The quality of life for people around the world had gone up drastically the past half century, just because you can find evil deeds or abuse of power does not make everything about the west evil or wrong or having a negative on the world.

Europeans are the only people to outlaw slavery in their own countries and then fight wars to end it in others. In the early 1800s Britain tasked one quarter of its navy with enforcing bans on slavery in West Africa. Conversely, Mauritania didn't officially abolish slavery until 1981, which is well within living memory, and still unofficially practices it to this day. Europeans are exceptionally kindhearted, idealistic, and magnanimous in victory. This idealism will be our undoing, not our past misdeeds.
