All waterways will be filled with third world trash soon, it's not important to them in the slightest.

The leaders of those African nations kicked him out, he was threatened with arrest and death.
Because he made the governments look bad by digging water wells for the people for free.
Then the government tried to extort him for money.
Because he tried to give the people free clean drinking water.
We cannot force them to be helped. We cannot force them to be helped at gunpoint.

In earlier times, the obvious answer to that picture would have been; "Is it our duty to provide people with all our amenities when they're simply incapable of self-governing?"

However, this has been deemed politically incorrect since a new paradigm centered around Johnson-Rothschild emerged in the '60s which, among other things, called for unlimited access to abortion, forced vaccination programs, the deconstruction of national states, population control and forced communalization.

there are signs that even hunter gatherer groups recognized that they cant pollute their water and food sources, if these ,,people" are incapable of that, its not because of colonisation

if youre talking about afrika, they generally just can't maintain shit. you can find countless examples of aid organizations trying to give them something for better local production and its usually the same story.
they come and install it and try to train some locals. as long as they are there, everythings fine. then they leave and the "trained" workers dont grease a part and shit breaks, or something goes out of alignment or needs calibration or a small spare part exchanged or someone cut the cables for the copper. then no one bothers to do an hour of work to fix it and a six figure machine collects rust until its taken apart for scrap.
thats not the fault of colonialism

What if they all have some sort of built in luddite genetics that always rejects what the rest of humanity deems valuable advancement?

Also, how did Ancient Egypt (part of africa) manage to build incredible things requiring vast tech know-how, while present day africa is apparently retarded?

If that were the case they would reject the aid instead of merely fail to take it.

they would have been fine if they were left to live a tribal life as they have for millenia. thats what they were adapted to and how things worked for them. trying to drag them into a modern industrialized nation states was what fucked them up.
concerning egypt, northern afrika is much closer connected to the fertile crescent and southern europe through the mediterranean sea. Completely different culture and people than sub saharan afrika.

It's children they should be training to do these things as opposed to adult brains that are already crystallized, so to speak. Trying to teach grown adults that bash animals' heads in with rocks how to maintain complex machinery is an exercise in futility. Developed countries have children go through education for nearly two decades to become remotely competent, some 30 year old riddled with parasites and has lived an entire life nutritionally deficient is not going to fix any device no matter how many times you show him.

Not all genetic clusters of people are the same. Take for example the inhabitants of the UK. In the Paleolithic period before agriculture and stone henge they had indoor plumbing and built outhouses over streams to wash their shit away. These were people pre agriculture living in stone piles. There are modern populations incapable of seeing the importance of not shitting where they walk. We should stop pretending that all the genetic clusters of people are the same and deserve equality.

Compare skarra brea to Mumbai. The stone pile people have a working sewer system and an organized way of handling trash. The other population is just aping the behaviors imposed upon them and shit like animals and leave garbage wherever they stand. It’s time we stop pretending we are all the same.

Good for individual housing, but not scalable for industrial uses or creating at the scales needed for on-tap service. It's something lots of places already do.

>>no money forces you to throw garbage into your river
Correct, not having money to put into waste management systems means waste goes to the environment.
>people need money to not defecate were they sleep
Correct, not having money to put into sewage management systems means human waste will end up in the city.
>people need money to observe basic hygiene
Correct, not having money to put into manufacturing means fewer commodities are available to people, including but not limited to hygiene products.
>>16725388
>they generally just can't maintain shit
Correct, not having money to put into maintenance means systems requiring maintenance don't get any.

For the sake of brevity and the americans in the crowd, I said "white people" in the greentext but I probably should I have used to more broad "European nations" instead, since not all Europeans are white.

Also water filtration is not 150 years old.
But getting back to my point, if your fridge starting spitting out shit tomorrow, do you have a sand filter on standby? Or enough activated charcoal that you won't die of thirst before you can get to Walmart and buy some bottled water?

The demographic is 30 year olds here, or it was when I started posting here.
How many of you 30 year olds have dug wells in your lifetime? Installed sand filters at your house? Or simply live in a house or a parents house or a grandparents house?

Have you ever been there. Everyone has enough money to buy the garbage they throw in the river, a cellphone (that infrastructure mystically exist) and wear western clothes. Have you ever done infrastructure there? Forget it, every penny trickles into corruption, what is build up rots fast. Some exemptions like telecom and crude oil production exist for reasons.
