>>716437092I'm from the west
our debt is piling far faster than ourd gdp is rising, and the difference is only increasing, and that's mostly because the taps of underpaid global south resources are drying up, with countries increasingly kicking the west out or favoring chinese trade
china is developing far faster than the west, it already overtook the west in RnD and manufacturing
the west's bankrupcy is inevitable, it will happen under our lifetime, you retards need to stop being okay with our govs wasting billions on wars trying to slow down the inevitable by harassing china's tankie friends, instead of transitioning into a sustainable system
>>716438557india was one of the world's biggest and most sought after trading hub. There is a reason the entire west was desperate with trying to find shorter routes to it, which is why we've got america accidentally. There is also a reason why it was called the crown jewel of the brittis empire, while noone would call modern india that.
when the brittish overtook India they dismantled india's existing economy and trade to turn it into a cheap resource exporting country (for the UK). Western colonialists did this with almost all of their colonies. They also caused colossal famines and a general drop in life expectancy, the casualties from this are estimated to be between 50-150 millions (just in india).
Also keep in mind that the west being significantly ahead is a relatively modern thing of the last couple centuries. Human civilization did not start from the west, and most of eurasia and north africa through the medieval period was similarly developed. It was only in the late medieval period/early modern period when the west happened to be the one to take the lead, and they started to snowball this lead by exploiting others.
this has been going on to this very day, since ww2 the west no longer does this as independent empires but by sticking together to fight the tankies who are trying to stop them
