What do you mean by "dripping with intersectionalism"?
> these countries it's that they are improving and improving rapidly.
The entire argument is that this is actually not happening. The figures are just doctored instead. Not sure how you can just state the exact opposite to the articles argument without presenting any evidence that the author misses.
- xupybd 6y agoThe argument the the poverty line is too low is fair. However most poorer economies are growing fast. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_real_GDP_growth_rate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_real_GD... Yes GDP is not the best metric but it does show a trend. That wealthier countries are developing slower that poorer countries. It's not happening everywhere but most countries that don't have political problems are doing well. There can be an argument that the rich west is guilty of causing some of those problems. For example Iraq is due to American interface. You could argue most of Africa is still suffering from the power structure left by the British. But these are the results of past so s not the current system. By dripping with intersectionalism I mean the author is dropping intersectional buzz words everywhere without making the case for why they apply. This is normally a sign that someone is simply applying an ideology to view a problem rather than any genuine analysis.
