For real.
My views are that people should stop trying to ‘fund’ poverty and let things take their course. You’re only delaying the inevitable and wasting time and resources. I suspect that any organization actually ‘helping’ them is making a nice profit from donations they receive anyway. Charities like the Red Cross pride themselves by saying they donate at least 10% of all funding they receive, it’s fucking disgraceful.
Name one African country that has come out better and actually developing and progressing as a result of funding. None, because they are run by power hungry cunts that have no ones interests at heart except their own; they steal, lie and kill anyone who opposes them.
The human race as we know it will not last another 100 years - if that - purely because we cannot resolve simple conflicts between each other and dwell on stupid differences such as race and religion. People will gain at the expense of others and it’ll eventually spiral out of control.

Great post in parts and imho very true. However, you never heard of south africa to name one part of africa that is developing.[/quote]
I grew up in South Africa.
Sure, it’s developing. But they are the perfect example of a country that won’t let go of the things I talked about. Affirmative action (emphasis on race - they classify Chinese people as Black over there) is massively holding the country back, which is why so many people are leaving. Corruption is getting worse, people are getting more and more greedy and no one does a damn thing.
In this day and age, they have something called load shedding. Because the government gives Zimbabwe free electricity, they can’t meet demands and so certain parts of the country won’t have power for a few hours at a time while it’s shared out. On top of that, they raised prices nearly 50% on power while people have a hugely reduced service. All to help another country which just gets worse and worse everyday.
The utilities have a monopoly and so there is very little you can do about it (Telkom for phones, Eskom for power). It has its ups and downs in terms of ‘getting better’.
There are probably more countries in Africa doing ok then I originally gave credit for, but the majority are in massive shit and have been that way for decades with no changes - at least not for the better. These countries are also the countries which don’t need outside funding, the ones that do, are in a mess. There are people that make a genuine difference in places, but no where near enough to make a real impact on then entire country.
Religious missionaries come in, teach the people ‘morals’ and leave. Then all of a sudden gay people are bad and they’re getting dug out of their graves and left on their parents doorsteps to prove a point.
It’s because these countries are run by Hitler type dictators like Robert Mugabe, who is funded by other countries trying to help, and these are kinds of people who are destroying the continent (on both sides). It should be about finding educated people with morals to look out for the country and peoples best interests.
