Chapter 1510: Going against the current (first update, please subscribe)
Help!
It’s giving!
Isn’t it what a civilized society should do to help people in backward areas enter and adapt to modern society?
Just like what Western powers such as Britain and France shouted when they entered Africa - "Barbarians, we will bring civilization to you!"
Now, those people also need modern civilization!
“Modern civilization does not enter modern civilization by forming a government. It takes time for human beings to enter modern civilization...”
This may seem a little politically incorrect, but this It's also true.
“The most absurd thing in this world is that human beings always use all kinds of correctness to treat reality, while completely ignoring reality. In fact, it is impossible for a tribal era area to be transformed by a piece of paper. Decree, enter the modern society!
Last year, more than 20 African regimes established the United African Organization (OAU). This organization has been given too much idealism and too many goals, such as liberating white rule. Southern Africa, for example, has a unified African voice on the world stage.
But in reality?
Since independence, the so-called "independent countries" have been plunged into war, famine, and coups... The former suzerain countries have left, but what happened to those countries that gained so-called freedom?
It is one humanitarian disaster after another, a massacre, a famine, and a war.
While some people swear by the evils of the colonialist era, they wantonly massacre people at home, they expropriate people there, and they starve their own people.
But this does not prevent those people from standing on the international stage and saying a cliché - colonialism is evil!
When their people were starving because of their extortionate expropriations, they blamed this as the root cause of colonial rule. They demand aid and compensation from their former mother country for the oppression of the colonial era.
Yes, they received compensation, only for the so-called independent countries last year..."
One number after another in the newspaper lists the aid that those independent countries have received since independence. , of course, just lists the numbers of aid they receive.
In fact, most of those foreign aids come from the United States and the Soviet Union.
African countries in this era are undoubtedly happy.
In the context of the Cold War, every newly independent country is the object of competition between the two major camps of the East and the West, and the way to win support is simple and crude - give money!
At the same time, it is also working hard to win over its supporters in Africa. This situation has obviously given African leaders many opportunities, and many leaders have begun to take advantage of the competition for the interests of all parties to seek their own and their country's interests.
Stupid people have too much money!
Used to describe the "spreading money" between major powers during the Cold War, it is no longer normal. Last year alone, they received billions of dollars in aid. With aid from various countries, they built a large number of railways, roads, schools and hospitals. Their capitals and big cities are lined with high-rise buildings, and their municipal construction is no less than that of Europe at the same time. level.
Compared to them, many places in Asia are simply countryside, rural areas. This is Africa now.
Anyone who is not amazed by the cities in African countries must have seen the world. But even so, it has not been able to rescue Africa from poverty.
"...What became of those aids and loans? Some of them turned into buildings, schools and roads, but more of them turned into deposits in Swiss banks, luxury houses in London and Paris, and the clothes they wore. Luxury goods,
In short, in Africa, having power means having control over everything. Since gaining power is the fastest way to gain wealth, it is. Some people are no longer satisfied with step-by-step promotions. The faster way to gain power is through coups
So coups in African countries are endless..."
With this in the newspaper. In this piece of news, the world turned its attention to Africa for the first time. In this era, there were not so many white leftists, but correspondingly there were many conservatives.
For these people who have experienced the difficult economic period after the war, their first reaction after seeing the news is-fuck! How can those politicians use our banknotes to let those African politicians squander it?
As the news reports deepened, especially the TV stations also broadcast special reports, revealing that the so-called "happiness after independence" of independent African countries was actually the happiness of a group of corrupt officials.
All Europeans were shocked. They did not expect that their money would be wasted like that. What they did not expect was that the seemingly sanctimonious African politicians turned out to be just that kind of thing. They They talk about independence and freedom, but all they think about is business.
As a result, a force opposed to providing aid to Africa formed in Europe. Under the guidance of public opinion, consciously or unconsciously, almost all of Europe believed that black people were unable to govern their own countries.
This is not discrimination, it is reality.
Faced with this kind of voice, the leaders of independent African countries naturally retorted with the excitement unique to African leaders, and kept saying that this was the inherent discrimination of white people against black people.
Moreover, many progressive people in Europe and the United States have accused newspapers and television stations of "inherent racial discrimination." Just as the two sides were engaged in a war of words, a special column was opened on the ABC TV station in the United States—— Africa Today.
"...not so much a president. It's better to say he is a poisonous and talented person." Faced with the question from the host Thomas, the pastor sitting on the sofa said.
“…five years ago on the verge of independence, he won the first and only election against the wishes of the local colonial powers. Some say he was Borrowing the power of terrorism and voodoo. You know, they are very backward, most people don't understand what election is, and they don't need to understand it now."
"Is this Mr. President a very rough man?"
Thomas asked.
"Sir, not only is he rude, he is a lunatic, a deranged megalomaniac, and a paranoid. He is completely arbitrary and surrounded by a clique of politically subservient people. If they quarreled with him or aroused his suspicion, they were thrown into a cell in the old colonial police barracks, and he was said to go to the jail himself. The governor tortured those people. No one could get out of there alive."
"Oh my God, what kind of world is this?"
"Stop him? ? Not only will no one stop them, but there will also be people rushing to send them money and supplies. You know, they have as many votes in the United Nations as the United Kingdom and the United States!”
The sarcastic words brought a burst of laughter.
"No one listens. Of course, he has his voice. I heard a few white people who insisted on staying say so."
"His voice?"
< br>6◇9◇书◇Bar
Thomas asked.
"Yes, sir. He claimed to the people that he was guided by the voice of God. He said that he could talk to God. He said too much to the people and to the assembled diplomatic corps."
"Oh my god, it's actually God."
Thomas's eyes still looked surprised.
“Sometimes I think I made a mistake by introducing Africans to God. Now their leader seems to be half-brothers to God!”
“In addition, he relies on a kind of hypnosis. He rules with terror. People think he has a powerful spell, 'voodoo', witchcraft or something. In this way, he makes everyone live the most miserable life in fear of him."
In the following interviews, the pastor told people the most real aspects one by one through his field experience, and this was just the beginning. In the following time, ABC TV station will broadcast an issue of "Today" every week Africa", this talk show includes interviews with people who have lived and worked in Africa for a long time. Of course there are also a lot of live shots from Africa.
What the viewers in front of the TV saw on the TV screen was not just the exotic scenery, but also the chaos and turmoil that those African countries fell into after independence, and of course those senior presidential officials. Their mansions are in sharp contrast to the extreme poverty of the people.
Although no one said in the TV program that Africans obviously do not have the ability to rule the country, the entire program conveyed a point of view to people, that is, Africans do not have the ability to rule the country. The ability to govern the country, at least not yet.
Although the influence of this implicit concept indoctrination will still be apparent at the moment, it will definitely appear bit by bit in the days to come.
At least let people not be so naive as to think that as long as the colonial rulers leave, Africans will live a happy new life.
The leaders of African countries are naturally angry about such a program. After all, such a program directly exposes the lies and rhetoric they have always said - that poverty in Africa is caused by colonial rulers.
What’s even worse is that in the face of such revelations, European and American countries have reduced their aid to African countries. After all, they must take into account the wishes of the people. The people think that those original works have become African countries. When senior officials have deposits in Swiss banks and luxury homes in New York, London, Paris and other places, naturally they cannot be as generous in aid as in the past.
In response to this, officials from those African countries have condemned ABC TV's racially discriminatory programs, and even accused the United Nations General Assembly of being a new round of discrimination by white colonists. As long as assistance is not provided, then It's discrimination against black people. Perhaps, in their context, this is the case.
But in any case, with the continuous efforts of many TV stations and newspapers, a trend of thought that goes against the historical trend is being promoted bit by bit...
