  1. When it comes to places such as north africa complaining of colonialism is hilarious cause they say it as if they weren't colonialist themselves. And yeah, having an outside guilty party is a very smart deflection of self-criticism.

  2. ​ @badluck5647 not really cause there are places that have been shaking it off pretty darn well - botswana, singapoor. It isn't 1 rule fits all. The difference here is that spain didn't get it's independance in the middle of a cold war where the players chose spain as the hot spot.

  3. Actually no, the industrial age had women as 2nd class citizens and it didn't stop europe from developing. Most of women equality comes from post-industrialism with the pill.

  4. The video does not aproach modern time countries but the historical context of why there was a huge loss of gdp from ummayads to ottoman empire - the asean countries aren't even in the story.

  5. ​ @aimanmarzuqi4804 lebanon has all those things and they managed to distroy a productive economy. There is a cultural aspect never criticized cause no one wants to be labeled as racist. And yes, the existing criticism is also unfair and actually racist. Either they enter the self-criticism mode or they are doomed be it by ocupation, be it self-destructive. It is what it is - making narratives just doesn't help.

  6. Using extreme violence as a problem solver was already in the culture - hebron massacre was in 1929 when there was no state of israel.

  7. For many palest it was an anti-fatah vote not a pro-hamas one. And it makes sense. Maybe this is also why egipt voted for muslim brotherhood as egipt several regimes were/ are extremely corrupt and do cause a lot of marginalized sections of society.

  8. ​ @DavidHalko economies in general will buy less oil as opose to buy zero oil. Still, this will make oil price lower as most of the profit isn't in the raw material but in the process be it refining it or using it to make plastic. It will be a punch for oil based economies, hence why the gulf countries are already investing in other areas.

  10.  @JUDALATION  so if hitler called backsis when berlin was surrounded then everyone should sing cumbaya with the nazis 😂 That's ur logic applied to another war.

  14. Found the extremist section 😂

  15.  @aimanmarzuqi4804  u just produced a narrative to excuse a group u are emotional invested in. Again, narratives don't help - it only prolongs the suffering.

  16. The nail in coffin was aid without demands and it's unchecked management. Most of the aid didn't go to infrastructure and development, it was embelzeled. Haiti is an aid dependant economy.

  17.  @charlesscott4722  ur conflating a country with a political party which is intelectual dishonest. Country can and should make peace. Political parties whose ideology is a danger to the world is another story. Authoritarian and totalitarian parties are usually extremely dangerous even towards themselves. Would love to have a different response to give u.

  18. There are so few qataris that it's just the monarch paying off so that the group allows him most of the profit. In practice, it's 100% private not state owned 😂

  19.  @mistermood4164  that's a mith. Interest is what makes a loan possible. Many people were able to increse their assets and be richer because of it. Example: all the business that start as a small company with a small loan. The loan is payed in a few years and the buisness owner enjoys his work. The people who don't like interest and considers it unethical, does so due to political and religious afiliation. Slavery is when someone abducts and makes the hostage work against his will - no contract- for free.

  20.  @mistermood4164  slavery was an intern institution well accepted by most civilizations. It was from the uk that the 1st intern lobby against slavery was founded. It was from a christian country that a war against slavery was declared. To no avail, albeit intern illegal, slavery is still prevalent. Japanese weren't abrahamic but had slaves, chinese weren't abrahamic but had slaves, astechs weren't abrahamic but had slaves. Enslavement was the rule everywhere.
    3
  21. Feudalism is prohibited but slavery is not. The problem isn't islamic jurisprudence but the manner in which is applied cause the laws are written by humans even islamic one as they go by how the mulemas interpret the scripture. Also, the whole ottoman empire was a conglomerate of provinces, each full of internal warfare and that is exactly cause power wasn't inherited, producing successive political crisis. The ottomans themselves had a time where fratricide was the norm!!! The profet never left an organized form of governance nor a legislation compendium with defined articles.

  22. I might sound conspiracy here but isn't that what a israel propaganda might want u to think? 😂

  23. ​ @shrin210 japan is a very particular case. Women were given rights but large chunk of the men kept the creepy sexuality - women find troble in being attracted to cringe creeps - thus no sex life for everyone. No sex life, no relationship, no relationship no familly. Too many accepted cringe creeps around.

  24. People's views didn't change that much. Normalization of birth control has.
    3
  25.  @lukemurray4950  not culture per say, culture view towards birth control. Also, male performance is an issue, the world has too many cringe creeps which removes motherhood desire on females.
    3
  26. ​ @lukemurray4950 ur wrong. Brasil has a low fertility rate and no one describes brasilians as wealthy. Same goes to many countries. Low birthrate comes from normalization of contraceptives. Countries that vilify birth control (culture, law etc) have higher birthrate.
    3
  27. ​ @marwanelmeligy8235 and the ottoman formula of rulling (who wasn't strictly islamic) is the basis for federalism somewhat.

  28. When the saudis started having money they started buying cars and other luxury items, a bunch of imams and more traditional tribesman got very upset by the use of such progress in saudi land. This story explains why there was never a cleaver adaptation of the whole banking sistem sooner than latter. Traditionalism can happen in any culture but when in extreme political power it produces stagnation - see the dudes who live in usa and drive carrages cause cars are of the devil. In another dimension the mulemas and political powerful famillies could have found halal banking sooner and make jump then. The ottomans could have not forbidden the printing press and invest more on literacy. It wouldn't make it less islamic as it would be done according to culture and religion just not as stagnant as it was.

  29. Thr issue is that if u have an unstable and insecure country the most basic aspect of capitalism never starts, aka, private property.

  30.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  yes my prespective must be a falacy. How else can u censor any opinion that doesn't submit to ur wants and needs litle emperor. Muslim brotherhood is the parent party of hamas. It's also the org who translated and published hitler book titled in arab "my jihad" which was a very conscience atempt to conect islam with nazism. Let's pretend some stuff in history isn't there - we need to protect muslim brotherhood reputation in the world right?

  31. That would trigger a lot of folks in intern comunity cause politics. Part of the problem is that the conflict is used to play politics instead of actually carrying for the people caught in this.

  32. There is a saying: hell is full of good intentions. Governm are bad actors in nature - keep that in mind.

  35. If u go to regenerative farming and permaculture iniciative u can see some projects being done with palest refugees that allow them to achieve a much better capacity to produce a be productive. It's the give a fish teach how to fish story.

  36. Did u know that one of the reasons that made jewish diaspora keep their jewish identity was exactly cousin mariage?

  37.  @aimanmarzuqi4804  I don't remember if it was west bank, jordan or lebanon. But it was a small property developed by a lady who manage to build a house with an almost self sustaining garden with very litle investment (nominal even). Permaculture can actually uplift people without resorting to eternal welfare dependance. It's one more benefit.

  38. It produces a feeling of superiority doesn't it? Is a u all owe me kind of feeling.

  41. ​ @Omer1996E.C and before that u followed whatever was decided for u as if it was god himself speaking. Islamic law can be many different things according to many different interpretations - which makes it very easy to pick and choose. Making contracts not good evidence is a bad principle as it makes one own word worthless. Having a justice preferential sistem of one group over another (discrimination hello!) doesn't help either - these are very good basis of a society prone to corruption. And these are just 2 mentioned in the video that is extremely superficial.

  42. That's exactly what the video explains.

  48. ​ @mayazmahmud1740 great in comparisson to europe - yes cause europe was hellhole. But great in comparisson to present day most places, definatelly not. People have a tendency to romanticize the past - slavery was a commonality in the same middle east that had it's golden age - the slaves weren't great, they were suffering.

  49. In america it's called isolationists. China also pretends that it uses that policy in foreign affairs.

  50. 3.3 that isn't economic aid - its a mix of loans, research funding and military loans/ sales. That money comes back cause it's business. There is also private funding - and that one u can argue that's part of the problem as it is to fund settlers - but it isn't state sponsored its 100% private. Wanna tell people where to out their money? Good luck in that endeavor, americans love the concept of limits in political and religious freedoms 😂

  53.  @andeezaima319  yup, ottomans blocking the press is a big evidence of that.

  54. UN enabled as all this is based on UN position in the conflict. West giving out money is just to produce the outcome proposed at UN level.

  55. Indonesia is a conglomerate of islands - which makes it much harder in infrastructure investment. It's my opinion that the rulling class decision of moving the capital city will have dire consequences. Rio de janeiro was much better before brasilia was built to be the new political capital and it's one of the factors that made rio so full of organized crime.
    1
  56. A number of factors: strong feudalism, money from colonies and not much of a competing rulling class as spain, south italy and portugal were pretty much scarcely populated being worst in spain and portugal cause inquisition and poorer farming soil. To add to the party the north africans loved to raid the sea side towns (were most of the pop lived) for slaves. As soon as the vikings turned christians and stoped raiding north and north west europe achieved a certain stability and a better context for development of new ideas - something south europe didn't have.

  57. It's tasteless and polilitically improper.

  58.  @Kurtlane  there was never a comprehensive census and referendum for anyone to know what palest actually wanted at that point, so it's all speculation. Also, it's not farfetched that displaced people who lost property were mad, be it palest or jews from arab states, something which needs to be taken into account.

  59. Narrative. Activists are just political actors to manipulate the masses into marching with the party line. Some of these so called activist get thrilled with world suffering cause it justifies their job as advertisers and thus oppens up more payments from political donnors.

  60.  @warlock64c  the idea that genders are against one another is a ridiculous culture war staged by political actors. Congrats u have fallen for propaganda and indoctrination.

  62. U need to add that governments are never good faith actors or competent. Aid money is charity by governments - it never produces a good resolt. We are all so guilty for allowing horrible foreign policy in our respective countries.

  64. Every time a president wanted to cut off aid, it got a pounding of oposition and a less popular acceptance. This is how corrupt aid money has become.

  65. ​ @paperplane-db8qf did u know there was also an influx from the outside into palest society? It isn't a narrative but a conflict that was used by outside actors which made it so bad as we see it today. Did u know that israelis and plaestinians have many stories of cooperation and even forging string friendships? Maybe not medeling and allow them to solve their issued would actually produce a different resolt as opose to projection our own biasis.

  66. Yup, state-capitalism doesn't work - that's just a fact.

  67. ​ @dianapennepacker6854 just would like to add that borders would always suck. Borders are man made invisible lines, be it done far away or by local rules, they never take clans/tribes under consideration, they take rullers/ conquerors need into consideration.

  69. U and me don't know how many were killed to make sure the rest stayed contempt with what's offered, rememebr kashogi? There are many kashogis. They just put a blasfemy charge and puf it's a death sentance 😂 It's a few famillies who own countries and place a nice golden cage, same way some slave owners dressed their house slaves in nice clothing 😂 This isn't state capitalism, this is 100% owned by rulling familly.

  70. What made the venezuela fall apart is corrupt políticas putting corrupt managers plus organized crime. So much oil was just transported out to neighbouring counties with zero tax payment, that it made venezuela start going into the negatives (from literally missing oil) - all of this prior to sanctions. Organized crime pretty much owns south america (with exceptions) that anything state owned is pretty much bankrupt, any nationalization of anything won't work, nothing state does can work. And they, organ crime families, have been gaining ground in europe.

  71.  @Iam1nsane  having the ability to find tech to lower cost is oppen to anyone competing. Finding reasons for the failure of socialist governm is for marxist lovers who can't fathom that marx was wrong.

  73. One of the political aims of terrorist orgs is exactly to produce a devide or increse a devide between people. In that sense, israel played into what terrorists wanted. So it's just a bad idea as it doesn't counter terrorism, it increses it.

  74.  @DavidHalko  3rd world - political concept from cold war, kept by popularity (and abuse by china/ international comunist/ socialist, but nor acurate. Fun fact - china due to its obcession of being self suficient and it's strategy of surviving under blockaid (malaka straight) has steadily invested heavily in solar farms (some of which have yet to be conected to the grid). This combined with their economic challages of near future (factors too long to summarize in a coment) changed predictions that they may reduce carbon consumption much earlier. Finally, the story of the oil lobby and lead refined petroleum - oil lobby has always spread misinformation and propaganda, aka, the same ideas as "we need oil and nothing but oil" u are spreading. It's called usefull idiot, something oil lobby (opec plus) loves. Fun fact 2: the oil arabs have invested in alrernatives and have bought patents of alternatives cause they know how good of a biz these are (aka less cost more profit). Facts > propaganda > pseudo-science.
    1
  75.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  another point is that a fair % of inquires work for thr governm sector which also makes them compromised cause we know that gov workers are conected to political factions that get their budget from intern aid, aka, with interest of keeping the conflict alive in order to keep being granted said aid. Poles are so much used to manipulate our prespective.

  76. No one lives in pure capitalist or socialist country. And, as the video explained, haiti is neither. It's economy is dependant on aid. This is why some political activists were against aid distribution without demands but they were censored and labeled racist.

  77.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  already saw something that can possibly manipulate final results: the number of inquired individuals in less than 1000 individuals - that's too litle for the overall population. That's the problem with poles, they might not reflect the actual prespective of a society.
