Its almost like that should be taught in school. Iran was one of the nations subject to a CIA orchetrated coup because they wanted to nationalize their oil reserves.
But since its not relevant to vibe coding I doubt it’ll make it into the curriculum.
Yes this is why pre-civilization / indigenous worldview perceives women with reverance for being able to bring new life and in their role as a central focal point of community.
Reminds me of all the famines the British caused in India. If there ever was a #1 of all time in stealing food it has to be them.
Its unfortunate that we (or our ancestors) have structured society and institutions in a way that rewards those traits. Makes one wonder when we would need to consider a restructuring of sorts.
Worse, a Nazi on Ketamine, Mushrooms, Ecstacy and Adderall. Even Hitler was only on Meth and some type of barbiturate to help him sleep.
This is almost certainly some dude in their basement playing out a stereotype to stoke fear.
Its has also been shown to improve survival in metastatic colon cancer. Agree that this is a poor example.
Yes, youre right in a strict sense but the whole advance tech at any cost including mass casualty (as long as its disproportionately nonwhite people) was a colonial era development leading up to the industrial revolution. The idea of outsourcing labor to lesser humans (on a global scale) also comes from that time. Those are the precursors that have led to the Elons and Zuckerbergs of today.
I’m dumb, password is passcode in this case. Just don’t include any letters lol.
Yes all third world countries are the same /s. Not at all a reductive viewpoint.
Techno fascists have set our world on an unsustainable path and it is past Colonial powers that started that. So, revisionism aside, those “big bad” technology and industry obsessed empires will be attributed most of the blame and they better fix it or we won’t be here much longer.
That, or China will have to fix it since Western countries have been thumb twiddling for decades (despite being the source of the problem). Either way it will be ugly once past colonial powers lose their shine and history books reflect an honest assessment of them. “Great” Britain is already a shadow of its former self. More will follow that march into relative obscurity as the rest of the world fixes the mess they created.
The cultural, economic and environmental impact of the Colonial era is much more profound than most know (largely because its ignored in most Western curriculums). You may not recognize issues if you’re white or man, but that can be remedied by going outside and speaking to people that don’t look or talk like you.
A lot of so called ‘third world mentality’ is just Victorian cultural norms that were imposed by the global techno fascists of the time (the British Empire).
It isn’t taught because they feel it was worth it and would still have an empire today if they could.
The West goes on and on about its moral superiority when the truth is its entire social structure is predicated on white supremacy, labour exploitation and destruction of nature. Unfortunately the entire world will have to suffer for that, even if the benefits have only been experienced globally over the past few decades.
A lot of young white men in Western countries are turning to fascism because they feel that they’ve lost privilege relative to their fathers.
What does the future hold? Only time will tell. One thing we do know is that every superpower falls eventually.
For better or for worse will be the big question, especially since it’s a major driver of climate change which may result in our extinction. I’m any event the world has been set on this path by the West so we will have to see how it plays out.
Thats because the Western capitalist worldview has spread globally.
Many of these countries had more socialist systems after establishing their respective post colonial governments but embraced more protectionist strategies or had sanctions placed on them by the wealthiest (Western) nations for not playing ball with the neoliberal capitalist agenda.
Basically, the West stole from them for centuries through settler colonialism, left with the riches and then said ‘you better do things our way or we will refuse to do trade with you and you will continue to starve’
The world has had no choice to embrace it, for better or for worse.
Western capitalist mores are actively brainwashing us into thinking wealth is virtue. Might is right. It is not.
Can’t wait for Britain to become a forgotten empire. That country really needs a glow up and rebranding.
The original article says women. Unless they are using women with small hands as code for children.
I would hope a social studies teacher would understand the pitfalls of Western orientalism and Western cultures obsession with describing other groups as ‘its’ rather than as whole persons.
But if we’re going to objectify people, why don’t we get real technical about it. Why not move manufacturing to other east Asian countries? Even outside of East Asia, you can find many countries with less labor protections and large populations where you can select for millions of people with small hands. Why China? Anyone who is being intellectually honest knows that hand size was not the central reason.
If this is widely accepted then Western culture has a long way to go when it comes to facing its history of racial objectification. Because this sounds less like a valid rationale and more like modern phrenology presenting itself as business and engineering acumen.
Young Chinese women have small fingers, and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said. In a recent analysis the company did to explore the feasibility of moving production to the United States, the company determined that it couldn’t find people with those skills in the United States, said two people familiar with the analysis who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

They’re supposedly paraphrasing “supply chain experts” but they could definitely paraphrase better.
Western culture is built on a foundation of race based hierarchical brain rot and isn’t it remarkable how it always finds a way to remind us of that?
Its hard to follow the pledge of allegiance with a genuine / honest reflection on American history. Honesty almost certainly seems traitorous at that point.
