The West created the modern world and lifted billions out of poverty.
- CameronNemo 5y agoEasy to lift people out of poverty when you literally invent the concept.
- imtringued 5y agoPeople are naturally born poor. Nobody told the Chinese or Africans to create that many poor people. Most of those children were born with the expectation that they die early. Isn't that cruel?
- dotcommand 5y agoWe didn't lift anyone out of poverty. Stop with the lies. After hundreds of years of european colonization, half of africa still has no electricity. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2019/11/13/more-than-half-of-sub-saharan-africans-lack-access-to-electricity https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2019/11/13/more-tha... The poorest people in america, australia, etc are the indigenuous people. Most of india, after 200+ years of colonization is mired in poverty. https://www.soschildrensvillages.ca/news/poverty-in-india-602 https://www.soschildrensvillages.ca/news/poverty-in-india-60... And "the West" didn't create the modern world. The "modern world" doesn't exist without india, china, africa, etc.
