We need more topics like this. I have been having a really bad day and it's good to take my mind off things talking about the stuff that interests me |

The downtrodden in Africa actually enjoy being oppressed sorry to say. Watch how many would deflect from this reality of funds being spirited away from their economy by suggesting others they perceive may have done the same. As anywhere in the world, Africans enjoy the quality of leadership they deserve. |

GavelSlam: That's incredibly unfair and also naive. Many of these power structures have been in place since colonial times and many political movements in Africa to end this kind of corruption have been ruthlessly crushed by hired guns and militias or by ruling government forces (though fair enough, some of them ended being becoming corrupt). But times may change. In Romania 10 years ago nobody would even think of questioning the corrupt oligarchs who run the country through bribes and treachery, let alone getting them arrested. Now there's a huge anti-corruption movement online and offline that's been pulling modern day Romanian feudal lords and other White Collar Criminals under the spotlight. Instead of doing what other Eastern European states did by playing to the tune of the oligarchs and obsessing over some racist ultranationalist group that works as protectors of the corrupt and underworld elite and blames foreigners for problems (looking at you Bulgaria, Hungary, Croatia, etc.), Romanians took the intelligent route and directly confronted the scum in government and finance who were looting their country. |
