I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    Correct, other than extremely self-absorbed westerners who don’t know that the rest of the world exists and that non-white people are people too.

    Cherry pick a bit harder and you might start making sense

    You’re literally the one demanding that we cherry pick here, man.

      Those were your picks for the average capitalist democracy but I’m the one cherry picking? Lmao

                I notice none of the countries you used as “Average capitalist democracies” (which were all western, European, colonialist states that had gotten rich off exploitation before they were even democratic, for some reason) aren’t in the middle of the list (the completely nonobjective list with an arbitrary methidology) either.

                I guess your selection was just bad faith coping garbage.

                If all you’re trying to prove is that rich countries are richer than poor countries; no kidding.
