Pretty sure this won't make headlines at places like the Economist or FT. However understanding how the West has developed in the first place is crucial for the West if it has plans to reindustrialize and stay relevant in the upcoming multi-polar world.

This book by @ShashiTharoor should be required reading alongside Piketty’s work

From the description: “ In the eighteenth century, India’s share of the world economy was as large as Europe’s. By 1947, after two centuries of British rule, it had decreased six-fold….” pic.twitter.com/UO6JlBa9f9

(NEO)Colonialism

S. Korea and Kenya may have had the same GDP per capita in the 1960s, but they were not on the same level of economic development @oliverwkim https://t.co/jpdo9OgCZt

As a settler-colony, Kenya actually had a relatively high level of colonial investment; in the most infamous case, at independence, the Belgians left only 30 people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with two years of schooling at the university level.

Colonialists' Lies!!!

Nice that people are now waking up to the obvious fact that comparing haphazardly put together colonial invented entities that is political SSA, with SE Asia kingdoms with 1000s of years of state formation under their belt just doesn't make sense... https://t.co/zVNg5oxt58

Colonialism on the Cheap: The French Empire 1830-1962

"In French West Africa, colonization was cheap for France and France’s contribution to the colonies’ development was very small until just before independence"
"These results are at odds with much of the
leading literature which emphasizes colonization as a financial burden" pic.twitter.com/Vdl5YwT5m0

— isaac Samuel (@rhaplord) June 7, 2022

many Africans believe they owe French colonizers for their schools, hospitals, roads, yet they financed 98% of them.
Colonization was therefore more of a black man’s burden than a white man’s burden

Again, it is WHY this blog is in English!

 

At his inauguration, US President Donald Trump invoked the colonialist "Manifest Destiny", promised to "expand our territory", and vowed to forcibly take over the Panama Canal (falsely and absurdly claiming China runs it).

Fighting Imperialism!!! ••• Neutrality Studies: Ex-Diplomat REVEALS: Russian Peace Efforts, NATO Destroys Peace | Amb. Jean-Daniel Ruch

 

Yet another voice that corroborates not only the sabotage of the Istanbul peace agreements, but exposes the long history of the West's refusal to negotiate a comprehensive peace architecture in Eurasia with Russia. 

Ambassador Jean-Daniel Ruch retired last year from Switzerland’s Diplomatic Service and recently published a very insightful book with the title “Crimes, Hate, Tremors: From one Cold War to another, in pursuit of Peace and Justice.”

Among his many postings, Ambassador Ruch worked at the OSCE and as Special Envoy for the Middle East in Berne before he was appointed  Ambassador to Serbia and Montenegro (2012), to Israel (2016), and to Türkiye (2021-2023). Last year he was nominated to become the head of the brand new State Secretariat for Security Policy, but a blackmailing campaign prevented him from picking up on that post.

DPA: According to German media report, two German military vessels will transit through the Taiwan Strait in mid-September. What is the Foreign Ministry’s comment?

Mao Ning: Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory. We made our position clear on similar questions. The waters of the Taiwan Strait, from both shores toward the middle of the Strait, are China’s internal waters, then territorial sea, then contiguous zone, and then exclusive economic zone. China respects countries’ right to navigation in relevant waters in accordance with China’s laws and international law, including UNCLOS. But we firmly oppose any act of provocation under the pretext of freedom of navigation by relevant countries that harms China’s sovereignty and security.

The Racists and their LIES!!!

Frankly, all the narratives from the degenerate western MSM aren't understandable because it is all propaganda with a political agenda. WHATEVER China does, it will be seen as something "nefarious". It is the "China bad" propaganda that we all know about.

🇰🇪IMAGINE , a young person thousands of kilometers away can articulate what’s happening in Kenya BUT your President needs 100 people in a Multi Sectoral pilferage of resources and time wastage to tell him what’s happening and what’s need to be DONE!

He's lying. China will never put someone from England, or America in charge of any part of their country.

imagine how shamelessly drunk on power you must be to openly demand a foreign government denounce its own journalists and citizens for doing their job and exposing debunked propaganda hoax lies, all in the open. Read Mearsheimer's Israel lobby book:https://t.co/lxgZMJ9cbz

Sadly, this is almost a daily occurence around the US military bases in Philippines.
There are estimated 250000 Amerasians with US military fathers who have abandoned them.

Gaza Genocide!!! Your Racism Sponsors The Genocide!!!

Enough of this bullshit . These are not “two countries at war” it’s an occupying colonial country that have tortured killed and enslaved a whole population and when a few of them take arms whether you call them terrorists or resistance , you don’t call this a war . Israel is… https://t.co/EdKYjZky8G

Yes, the exceptional "rights" of colonial settlers across the world have been presented similarly, posing them as rightful, unfairly tarnished. Settler sympathy against "native" violence.

However, we should make it clear that the 1947 partition plan was only a plan, never more than a suggestion as it never reached the Security Council, thus never accepted or legalized. The land grab never got international support. pic.twitter.com/y5BHxm9SZ9
