      I watched it. Now what?

      Sure, helping everyone on earth so we can all help each other is a nice ideal, but I’m not convinced that reality will play out positively.

      Look at Africa: Most of the developed world is pumping billions into the continent, and all I see is that they’re becoming dependent on us. Not good for them, not good for us. If we can share something for free (*cough* software) that’s completely fine, but if we send them money and materials, and they squander it, because they have some corrupt leaders, then what?

      We can’t capture said corrupt leader, because Europe is the good guys, and we don’t invade other countries, unlike dirty America… But is that actually helpful for this theoretical country?

        You do realize that africa is poor because the IMF and the world bank keep it trapped in debt right?

          This dumbass doesn’t know what the IMF is much less how a debt trap works. He’s gonna ask chat GPT when he sees your comment

        I’m not convinced your “friends” aren’t just using you in some way or are very casual acquaintances and you’re not picking up on the distance. No one in your part of the spectrum with your sociopathic tendencies has friends, you have useful relationships. Mildly entertaining troll 6/10
