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.

        So Myanmar, really? the country that got coup’d in 2021 is what you think of as a modern democracy? So are you retarded or just bad faith? Maybe both?

            Haiti? Where just in 2021 their president was assassinated. Point should be clear, your selection of the “average modern democracy” was just bad faith coping garbage. Even looking at the rankings, Myanmar doesn’t qualify as a democracy for obvious reasons, Haiti is almost at the bottom of the list and India isn’t even halfway up. So yes, it does seem that you’re both bad faith and retarded. Point clear? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Ranking

              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.

                Sure “arbitrary methodology” keep coping.

                I guess your selection was just bad-faith coping garbage.

                At least they’re all on the list. You actually went for Myanmar lmao.

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

                The truth is most countries on that list, even the poor non-cOlOniAliSt ones are infinitely better than the communist shitholes that you’ve never lived in, or likely even visited.
