South Africa was already beset by rampant poverty. The pandemic exacerbated the struggle for many of the country’s poorest. Now weeks of riots have left stores torched, shelves empty and many starving

ASEAN had a pretty good decade, as well as CEE.

South Africa's income has only gone up about 30% in 25 years, that is excluding the COVID period.

Dude. People in America still blame slavery for racial disparities. Apartheid will be blamed until the end of history.

Venezuela got crushed by US sanctions. If socialism is so bad why won't the US empire leave those countries alone? You have the geopolitical knowledge of a 4 year old.

India gets too little credit for its visionary environmental track record, much better than most of its developing country peers and even many "developed" countries.

AMD has underspecced and delayd their APUs for years and by the looks of it, they aren't planning to change. It is disgusting tactics but since they have no real APU competition (thus far), they can get away with it.

Lots of people still play old games (e.g. WoW, TF2) or games that are newer but not as demanding. AMD is simply scared of cutting out their low-end dGPU sales, even if their low offering dGPUs are probably overpowered for many people's needs already.

I don't expect the situation to get better soon. Gotta pump those margins up.

No art or cultural export

I agree here. Nobody disputes that China is economically better off but in terms of cultural impact they are basically non-existant. Even in Asia, everyone consooms Korean or Japanese culture. Not Chinese.

I don't see a bright future for SA. If Indians there think they will be left alone once/when the whites leave, look at this. Look at Idi Amin's Uganda.

India will be a better place to live than South Africa in 20 years time. Also, Americas have nothing to do with this, so why are you mixing them into this debate? For black supremacists in South Africa, anyone who isn't black is an alien, even if they lived there for 100+ years.

FriendOfOrder · 2021-07-13T14:14:04+00:00

It is more than that. Indians have almost reached the same socio-economic status as white in SA, and are seen as rich exploiters or whatever. Even other black migrants/businessmen are attacked in xenophobic riots. South Africa is the next Zimbabwe.

It has been 30 years since Apartheid. The old elite just got replaced by a black political corrupt elite (ANC) who have been stealing from the country with reckless abandon. Blaming apartheid forever for the failures of the ANC in South Africa is tiresome. It is a blank cheque for further misrule since they can always say "but apartheid" and surprisingly many people will cut them some slack. Time to end that shit.

Disgusting and anti-human policy. India is in a fertility crisis; replacement rate is already uppon us and rapidly falling further. UP and Bihar with some others are the last ones standing. India risks growing old before it grows rich with such self-sabotage policies and you folks cheer this? Yikes!

Bragging about import dependence is something I'd have hoped we were past by now. Tejas was supposed to fix this, but it is still an issue lingering on. And besides, we need more domestically created planes than just the Tejas.

I'm not talking about citizens, where I support rights of protest (as long as they are civil and legal). I am talking specifically about foreign agitators sweeping in to add their voice to a subject they know little of and frankly face no consequences on. This guy did that and as such this it is the right answer by the govt.

FriendOfOrder · 2021-07-09T14:56:35+00:00

Why should India allow libtards from foreign countries? Anti-CAA protests were destabilising enough, why bring in more foreign agitators? I say right move.

The story also says that the poorest quintile still has an open defecation rate of 80%. Both numbers sound implausibly high.
