So many countries are worse than mine. Oh boi, do you know how bored I am hearing about free state Congo and Belgian Congo? It’s just people wikipedia’ing it while I had it in my history classes.

Aight let’s see 1885 to 1908. Whoopsie. Free state Congo. Literally ran like a company without any human rights whatsoever. No information of atrocities are leaving the country. 10 million Congolese died. Leopold II even hated the maiming, not because of his kind heart, but because they couldn’t work without hands.

Then 1909 to 1960 Belgian Congo.

At the peak of colonisation 10 to 20% of Belgian GDP depended on the Congo. A lot of development happened but it was all in order to extract resources.

1979… Whoopdiedaisie, they really did not succeed in having stability. Their purchasing power decreased to not even 10% of what it was in 1960.

Now it’s China’s turn.

Buddy, my child is half Asian. My wife looks Chinese according to people from her own country. She probably has Han DNA.

I don’t give a fuck.

I only talk about china because most people on this platform view China as the shining hope. That can do no wrong.

If you dislike china, then I’ll start talking good about china 🤣

This really just is a game to me isn’t it
