Those far left Marxist European countries aren't poor? You can't get more Commie than Sweden and France! Dammit!

"German firms, Geoghegan writes,

don't have the illusion that they can bust the unions, in the U.S. manner, as the prime way of competing with China and other countries. It's no accident that the social democracies, Sweden, France, and Germany, which kept on paying high wages, now have more industry than the U.S. or the UK. … [T]hat's what the U.S. and the UK did: they smashed the unions, in the belief that they had to compete on cost. The result? They quickly ended up wrecking their industrial base."

They are wayyyyy more advanced in many ways than humans. They have been around longer and have evolved and adapted much more than humans have. Humans need to stop thinking that they have the answers to everything, because we clearly don't especially when it comes to the planet or nature. If a civilization of people are starving or are that poor, they either need to adapt or die, it's that simple. Supporting them only leads to generations of "poor me" and does nothing to help them in the long run. If they live in a desert, then the answer is simple...MIGRATE or DIE!

BTW, Inida is not the places I'm talking about, they have money there, it's just their way of governing that destroys them, again, that's their OWN fault, just like the many other nations that are struggling. They made their bed, they can lay in it now.

The US is not maintaining any poor country because of pity. The places where former US jobs are moving simply offer better conditions. The places the West kind of maintains are few and it is no secret that for every dollar or Euro we give in terms of aid, more than one dollar or Euro come back to us from those countries. I.e. those countries would be better off without our "help". We are enriching ourselves by donating aid.

Migrate or die? Most people can't migrate anymore because of our artificial borders. Just look at the US, what a fuss about a couple of million aliens in such a huge country.

India is improving at a fast pace. No idea what you mean by destroy, fault, lay in their own bed. India is on the way up, the US on the way down, so why point fingers at India?

Your entire attitude towards human life is poor. And yes, humans are among the half dozen or so most evolved species. Since no species pops out of nothing, every species around today has an equally long ancestry dating back to the first life.

Glad to see at least a few people have some sense on this topic. Otherwise stop the bickering. It's a loaded topic from some far right idiot who is wrong.

The central point is:


Read it and decide for yourself. I happen to think D'Souza nails it.

I think this clown D'Souza's on drugs. Powerful drugs.
