This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
I kinda feel the opposite. Seen as some backwater third world country 30 years ago, to the most populous country in the world, a democracy aligned to its own goals forming a third pole in the global order apart from the US and Russia/China.
Even their reputation as scammers comes from the insane growth of English-language tech work that is now focused in India.
So we switched from exotic fetichizing orientalism toward casual racism? Sounds like two pieces of the same coin.
With the exception of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Islam is currently responsible for a majority of the war happening in the world and has been for the last two decades.
The world would be a better place without Islam.
Did you comment on the wrong post? What does Islam have to do with OP?
In places destabilized by colonialists…
Bring back the Ottoman and the Mughal empires!
Most countries got a lot more stable under colonialism. Its only after they left they went back to destability and genocide.
Are we talking about the multitudes of manufactured draughts?
Or the genocide of the colonised population?
Fuck right off with colonial apologism. Colonisers have built their wealth, by exploiting countries, deepening existing social fractures, and leaving the countries worse than they found them in most aspects. The technical growth or industrialisation that the colonising powers purport to have shared (such as trains), was largely possible on the backs of the economic leverage they enjoyed on the back of the excessive taxation of the colonies^[1]^. The Indian region for all it's social issues, was a contributor to about 25% world's GDP before the stabilising force of the various colonisers arrived. In 1947, that was 2%.
Learn your history before you talk out of your ass.
The industrial revolution really had a huge affect on gdp around the world. That solved the issues of famine within india. But will probably lead to more with climate change now.
My god man, just sign up for some history classes at your nearest university. Or maybe just listen to some podcast or something. This is just horribly insensitive, and I don't even think you know why it is so.
The gdp of the west exploded because of the industrial revolution. To claim that wasn't the largest force for changes in gdp is madness. It separated gdp so directly from labour that gdp stopped being so heavily related to population.
On the bright side, you need a tech tutorial, they've got your back.
That's what colonialism does to one
