yes, and political instability is really easy to maintain for any sort of modern power, especially when the target is a weak country.
When someone can invest a million dollars in guns and send that to some random group of 40 weirdos with extremist views and out of nowhere that group is a credible threat to the local police force what are they gonna do ?

Ever since decolonisation happened, that's the story of what's been happening in DRC. There's been actual ***ing hundreds of small armed activist groups brewing shit since the country got independence in 1960. I'd like to see you building a proper civilisation when every single person in your country knows that at basically any time some crazy ***ers with AK-47s funded by god knows who might walk up to your house to kick you out and take your stuff.

Claiming it's racial or societal traits is stupid, it's all cultural. The average person doesn't want to live in a fked up country, so things naturally tend towards improving if there's no external pressure keeping everything chaotic.

I've personally been to Benin and that country is doing great, people are friendly, you can easily feel safe walking in the streets. Guess their main natural ressource ? Decently fertile land to farm on, that's about it. How many armed militias brewing in there since 1960 ? Like 5, mostly post independance turmoil that settled in a decade, plus islamic state terrorists coming from the north more recently.

I mean the difference is that poland is part of the UE while most african countries just get bent by western / chinese interests keeping them under the thumb of the most corrupt politician they could find...
Just look at Iran, that country literally should be top 5 richest in the world but the US has kept them nice and undevelopped for the past entire century to keep oil cheap.

basically devs are currently going through the same paradigm shift professional typewriters took in the face when typing machines got replaced by keyboard controlled personnal computers... except it's happening in two years instead of over like two decades

But a rocket launcher is not a gun. A gun doesn't launch rockets, it fires bullets. (The hint was in the name, you could have gotten it right)

I enjoyed a nice relaxing july month with the family, then started a market analysis for a business with my brother, then he decided it was too crowded and we were too late for any meaningful gains even if we worked hard so now i'm just chilling again i guess

it must be so weird being a movie actor these days... "Here's money, now wear the green suit and say the lines in the green room while not looking at the camera please."

bro, large scale advertisement is basically the death of civilisation.

Even if you don't buy the garbage, everybody starts thinking along the lines put forward in the ads, ad creators decide what is perceived as happiness and success, it destroys small scale enterprise and kills individual motivation to innovate and take your life in your hands because whatever you do, some giant company is already claiming to be doing better and cheaper.

Individually you can try resisting such influences and I hope for your sake that you do, but at scale over society it's been producing entire generations of unhappy broken people...

Yes, its not just the adds because politics and mainstream media are the exact same shit, but it's yet another vector for the same industrial scale crushing modern civilization does.
