  • Well, now ain’t it just plain as day that capitalism in this modern world ain’t doin’ folks no favors when it comes to birth rates? It downright builds a society that’s hostile to the very things that make babies happen. Just look at how birth rates plummeted in the post-Soviet states after the USSR fell.

    The only time capitalism ever made havin’ youngins worth a damn was back when folks was workin’ the land by the dozens, before tractors came along, or when you could send a child down a mineshaft to squeeze into some death trap of a machine. South Korea’s just the worst-case scenario playin’ out in real time.















  • Nigeria is basically the poster child for comprador economies right now, right up there with Kenya. The main reason they’re cozying up to the BRICS is their economic ties with China. The silver lining? They’re not being made full members. Kind of like how it’d be a disaster to give Turkey BRICS membership after they played ball with the U.S. to topple the Baath Party in Syria. That whole move wasn’t just to destabilize Syria but also to help Israel cut Hezbollah off from Iran—and then Turkey had the nerve to turn around and buddy up with Netanyahu. A mess all around.
