The spoils of African conquest used to annihilate Japanese civilians. Disgusting.

what book

The World Bank by Eric Toussaint

Here's the relevant excerpt.

aaaaaaaaand I’m out.

No one cares what you think lib. Good riddance

I’m not a liberal, tankie.

i never knew about this connection. s*** is so twisted

Here is an article on it. Some interesting tidbits: it was mined using forced labor from the locals, it was the most pure source of uranium ever discovered in that quantity which was essential to the Manhattan Project's "success", and Belgium transferred the debt from the mining operation onto the Congo when it became independent.

i’m interesting in what the mining was looking like post-1960s too after much of the decolonization like ... they f***ed congo up bro :(

Watch video and you might learn something despite the knee jerk reaction

Rip Patrice Lumumba

There was a Congolese dishwasher we had at my old work and I would just talk to him about Lumumba Nkrumah and sankara

Bro then the next sentence...

"Then: some fifteen years later, Belgium transferred, to the newly independent Congo, the debts it had incurred in order to exploit those natural resources as well as its population"

So parasitic

...

Here's some more parasitic white ppl antics:

At the end of the first World War, the Treaty of Versailles, imposed on Germany the payment of huge compensations for war debt and reparation 1. Germany soon found it difficult to pay and this led to social discontent.... soon lead to everyone not payi and the industrialized world plummeting

Then they learned from their mistakes and next in WW2 implemented Marshall plan which gave grants so they weren't debt locked and made Europe prosperous

The US knows the difference between loans and grants but continues to give loans.... allegedly to finance the Third World’s development.

Such refusal shows that creditors do not really want these countries to develop and be rid of their debts but rather to extract $ and implement favorable reforms

"From 1954 to 1961, for example, South Korea received more grants from the United States than the WB lent to all independent Third World countries

"Because it was strategically located in relation to China and the USSR, a small farming country like South Korea benefited from US largesse. During the same period Taiwan received about $800 million. 5"

wikipedia is the most well-maintained encyclopedia in the world with thousands of editors

why is this a gotcha?

you know revisions can be viewed by the public right, and if someone notices an inconsistency in the article, it will be revised, you could even edit wikipedia yourself with an account and get involved with the editing process

"YEAH THIS STUDY HAS THE NAME GOLDSTEIN IN IT ITS JEWISH BULLSHIT BRO THE ELITES MADE UP THE HOLOCAUST WITH THE ALLIES"-tier bullshit
