    This (the original tweet) shit is 100% Russian agitprop fwiw. They know precisely how to sow cynicism in western progressives and leftists which just so happens to interact with their interests and Donald Trump’s policies. It’s actually very obvious to anyone who doesn’t get high on their own farts

      Ah yes, progressives and leftists, notoriously concerned with government waste and undeserving foreigners, this original tweet definitely wouldn’t have any effect on the “I’m not racist but” moderates that the Biden and Harris campaigns chased after by getting tough on asylum seekers and talking about having the most lethal military in the world /s

      Incidentally, what do you suppose that watermelon in the reply name means?

        The watermelon was, at least at one point, a show of support for Palestinians’ struggles. Something about sharing colors with their flag.

        But as with all symbols, this may not be accurate to their meaning of it. I was basing it off the trans flag next to it (a not uncommon pairing).

    africans are simply so powerful that they telepathically communicate with each other and with satellites, this is of course also how the egyptians built the pyramids, they simply levitated the rocks with their minds.

    Sadly this ability was lost as people spent time outside the continent, until the modern day where even a single non-native african ancestor completely suppresses the supreme mental power.

    Great point from OOP there, now do Africa before and after European colonialism.

    “This continent/culture/country is so undeveloped and primitive,” says the person whose ancestors made said continent/culture/country like that by fucking them over, stealing pretty much everything they had, and destroying the systems they had had in place for decades or centuries.

        My friend was complaining about his phone (battery draining to zero in within 2-3 hours, even when idle). He went ahead and bought a replacement battery. when he opened the phone, that battery was as swollen as Kirby.

    Obviously Africa isnt that underdeveloped but genuenly America and Europe not engaging in neocolonialism and meddling in their political affairs would do far more than aid (which is usually a tool for political influence).
