    Africa has benefited from it aswell. They skipped landlines and went straight to mobile phones and they’re for the most part going to skip burning coal aswell and just put up solar panels and wind turbines.

      Wow you can’t be serious. Africa benefited from capitalism? The same capitalism that destroyed their countries and enslaved millions of people? The same capitalism that intentionally keeps African countries unstable and dependent on international aid?

      No fucking way you just tried to just that by saying they have cell phones. That’s some epic meme level shit dude.
