I know it has like 3 likes but I’ve seen so many people with this view, it’s insane ‘My uncle went to help them as a missionary but they’re hopeless LOL aren’t you glad to live in America?’

Meanwhile this is what missionaries do in Haiti:

And the UN: CW child grooming https://theconversation.com/they-put-a-few-coins-in-your-hands-to-drop-a-baby-in-you-265-stories-of-haitian-children-abandoned-by-un-fathers-114854

And the fact that this person clearly thinks that they’re smarter and superior to every Haitian when they don’t even understand production. Racism is a disease, instead of trying to find the answer to this contradiction they conclude ‘because they’re African lol’ they genuinely believe the 67 IQ lie.

    I once read a guy (CEO btw) say that in capitalism the business owner is the one who produces everything by his will and design, workers merely “polish and assemble widgets”.

    This is the kind of (literal) magical thinking prevalent in American society.

      When I was a kid and first learned about communism I thought wow, the CEOs must study this Marx guy in detail to keep their position in society, it would never work nowadays!! but then I realised they don’t understand anything at all.

      One of the most beautiful things about modern society is that the son of a white South African pedophile with immense wealth from Zambian emerald mine child labour was able to become the richest man in the world, fumbled his ‘cool inventor’ reddit persona by calling a diver trying to save children a pedophile, and despite having all the money in the world he can’t stop any of his 95 children from disowning him.

      This man barely understands anything about society but managed to fail upwards and convinced himself that he’s a genius. He lied about read Capital ‘in english and then cross-referenced with the german version’ what? That’s literally a child’s idea of what a ‘cool genius’ person would do.

      All his successes are someone else’s and all his failures are his own. He’s truly the crown jewel (emerald?) of capitalism.

      “Ideas guys” are 99% jackoffs that have “ideas” and 1% jackoffs that have “ideas” and then the working class is underpaid and undercredited trying to make those ideas happen.

        gotta correct you there, as at least 50% of even those “ideas guys” straight up stole those ideas from someone else who either didn’t have the capital to make it happen, or who were starting partners that didn’t have the business acumen [read: cut-throat sociopathy and cynical self-serving] to avoid getting conned out of the operation and eventually had their names scrubbed from the project with the help of massive PR firms. Maybe with a check of shut-up-money in their hands maybe not.
