Do you think people in Africa think otherwise?
I know the political climate is charged right now, but cmon people.
- gcr 1y agoYes, I find folks in other countries are highly collaborative in a way that my own country (USA) often is not. I think the general sentiment in my country is driven by goal-seeking behavior dominated by individualistic fear, and I see less of that elsewhere. "Political charged"-ness is both a contributor and an outcome.
- fidotron 1y ago> driven by goal-seeking behavior This is a bad thing now?
- mantas 1y agoHuh? There’s plenty of deeply divided countries. Especially in Africa where many borders were drawn with no respect to ethnic and tribal situation.
- reliabilityguy 1y agoMost of the borders in the Middle East and Asia are drawn without any consideration of the locals
- Jensson 1y agoThat is true everywhere though, locals only have a say when they rebel and throw out their overlords. It isn't like the Irish were particularly happy about England pushing them around and so on.
- reliabilityguy 1y agoStill. Afghanistan effectively rebelled, and yet they still use the British-drawn borders as the borders of their state.
- pakthrow 1y agoAs a matter of power in the global scope, sure. Locally, it's messier. The British had to concede to local autonomy across the border they drew in what is now north-western Pakistan, and that formal arrangement persisted past partition (and informally persists to this day.)
