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.

    Ah yes, India, Haiti, and Myanmar. Definitely what people instantly think of when prompted for the average modern capitalist democracy rather than the us, uk, denmark, sweden, norway, germany, netherlands…cherry pick a bit harder and you might start making sense

            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

                    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.
