Okay, question here that I had last night but no real good place to discuss it. People seem to say Africa is so messed up today because of white people and “Muh Colonization” and those damn Europeans going into the interior of Africa and literally abducting Africans to be slaves yadda yadda yadda. It’s all white people’s fault.
Now as a red blooded American I look at Asia and I think wow there’s a lot of messed up stuff with how those people live.
BUT!
Why the fuck do they seem to be doing just a bit better off than Africa? Like was all of SE Asia not ALSO colonized. Was the Dutch East India company not also a pretty brutal tool (according to the narrative)?
I’m just saying it seems like both places got it pretty hard but why is Asia not Africa? You know what I mean?

I'm sure IQ has something to do with it. I will leave you with this anecdote: whilst working in the Angolan bush, aside from the usual African standard of many levels of wasteful bureaucracy and corruption we had to go through, the manager of the contractor I was subcontracting for had to get permission from the local witch doctor to commence operations there.

I’m agreeing with you but I’m trying to convince myself more and also be able to explain this to normies. Asia has witch doctors too, they had just as much dumb shit as Africa and ancient Europe, but WHY did they drop that shit in favor of actually advancing their society and Africa STILL hasn’t?!

Because Asia love you long time. Africa never love you.
