>>17869790 (OP)>Why were the post-colonial African dictators such complete nutcases?Tribal ooga booga people got access to centralized governments, without any of the cultural background, education, or social discipline that came with developing them, and did every impulsive decision that came into their head.
>That's just racist gobble-de-gook, Chud. I assure you: any culture or society that doesn't understand or value their public institutions, education, law & order, will eventually degrade into that exact same situation. This isn't a racial thing: the only thing separating us from the most retarded homo erectus version of ourselves is we did well in highschool. I'm paraphrasing, but it only actually takes about 15% of the public to think the Earth is flat before a country stops doing anything with rockets or aircraft.
