We can look at most of Africa and see where they still are. Even with colonialism they are still decades behind and not improving.
Thats because anytime a good leader comes along they take him out.
Ehh, there’s still tribes living in mud huts, and plenty of area where people are perfectly content with the status quo. It’s a fallacy to assume that all cultures are equal and have equal potential. Western culture has succeeded simply because it is a more supreme culture.
I don’t know who’s to say mud huts are such a bad idea mean look at us work work Work Drive drive drive waste our whole lives Chasin after consuming products well these lucky people get to live and small villages with their families and kids loved ones all around. So what they don’t have woke Netflix. Maybe it’s not that they’re backwards maybe it’s that they reject our shit culture
I agree with that to a point, like getting a cabin in the woods and living off the land.
Truth. These kinds of thread arguments have a hidden presumption that cultural superiority is measured solely by the progress of technology and more stuff. That was Cold War propaganda, and Russian oligarchs certainly took advantage of that premise with everyday Russians after the fall of the USSR. As if the only two options are dire poverty, crime, corruption, and demoralization on one side, or advanced, ultra consumer centered completely built out civilization drowning in overwhelming lifestyle and career/identity options on the other side.
Silly. Not all of western culture is evil, we have many amazing things.
That actually would make a lot of sense if you think deeper about it.
