Here throughout different periods of time people were made serfs, ravaged by many wars, all intellectuals and property owners got kidnapped and shipped out, almost everything of any value or significance got looted and destroyed during world wars, population was absolutely ravaged and people still built from the ground up and got on their feet.
But some places in Africa have had HOW long now? And is the focus point of so much worldwide charity. Say Ethiopia?
I guess it's the geographical conditions. Also problems with education need to be fixed.

True
>But some places in Africa have had HOW long now?
These countries have only been up for around 70 years at best
To think they will all be WAKANDA tier that long is a bit of a meme.
America only became powerful after 150+ years, and it had to go through a lot.
Places like Namibia only got independence in the 1990's ffs.
Also the cold war practically stopped most of the development during the 1960's to 1990's.
>And is the focus point of so much worldwide charity. Say Ethiopia?
Most aid is useless and only really hurts the continent.
>I guess it's the geographical conditions. Also problems with education need to be fixed.

If that map is anything to go by yes, except Libya.

>I don't know the source of the video
It's from a Swedish game show called 'Vem vet mest?'. Normally it's adults participating but I guess they had one program with children instead. No idea what's up with the gay poses, even the Muslim negro is less of an embarrassment.

Will desert cities be abandoned after climate change makes the Sahara even more uninhabitable? It will be physically unlivable without an air conditioner in few decades.

>Will desert cities be abandoned after climate change makes the Sahara even more uninhabitable? It will be physically unlivable without an air conditioner in few decades.
Many African countries are trying to plant trees to stop desertification
They are trying to stop this by creating a green wall
Basically planting a lot of trees.
greatgreenwall.org
Lybia will probably try to do something similar to this when there is order and stability.
but if temperature goes up and lakes dry up those trees will all die anyway. If temperature grows to unbearable degrees it will simply be impossible to go out. Trees need water and a good environment to grow. I don't think it's even possible to plant trees in Libya's deserts due to lack of nutrition in the soil.

True
What we will probably see in 2050 and onward is probably a mass migration from north Africa to the west.
If the refugee crisis of 2015 was bad, this will be absolutely cancerous.
Also Russia will probably become a food superpower considering most of the land that was previously frosty will be suitable to farm in.
Russia's siberia is completely fucked instead. All of molten permafrost area is unsuitable for farming as it will only leave mud and random lakes.

> Due to thawing permafrost — along with the demise of Soviet-era state farms — the area of cultivated land in Yakutia has plummeted by more than half since 1990. The region’s cattle herds have shrunk by about 20 percent, to 188,100 head in 2017 from 233,300 in 2011. Reindeer herds have also declined sharply.
I also think food would be largely synthetic by 2050s. Like producing goods in a factory.

Ooff

I dunno
Unless it gets Uber bad in the future due to climate change I don't think that will happen.
Many people prefer organic food to food made in factories.
Though it is picking up some ground.
The main problem is overpopulation, which is steadily getting worse in African countries considering most haven't had their population boom yet.
> Many people prefer organic food to food made in factories.
War and starvation will change that.
> The main problem is overpopulation, which is steadily getting worse in African countries considering most haven't had their population boom yet.
Overpopulation isn't the reason for famine. There's more than enough food in this world. It's just that majority of land is for cash crops and will never go to who need them.
>War and starvation will change that.
True, though this will only really be experienced in 3rd world countries.
>Overpopulation isn't the reason for famine. There's more than enough food in this world. It's just that majority of land is for cash crops and will never go to who need them.
Your right in that sense.
> True, though this will only really be experienced in 3rd world countries.
No. The next war would truly be a big one. All of wars in 3rd world are just prelude to the big one just like the smaller wars during 1910-1914 before WW1 or before WW2 between big imperial powers.
As we already see china-us rivalry forming, there would be a 3rd World War with no less chance than that of between USSR and USA.
Before you say that it will never happen here, all social and political changes are sudden and rapid with a long period of relative tranquility between them. More things happened in 2 years between 1917 to 1919 than between 1991 to 2020.

In a sense you are right.
Lots of countries in africa was used in the cold war during the 1960s to 1990s.
However if the world defends into a cold war I don't think humans will make it out alive.
>As we already see china-us rivalry forming, there would be a 3rd World War with no less chance than that of between USSR and USA.
Most of China Vs the USA isn't being done with war and guns.
It's with trade instead which is a lot better in my opinion.
>Before you say that it will never happen here, all social and political changes are sudden and rapid with a long period of relative tranquility between them. More things happened in 2 years between 1917 to 1919 than between 1991 to 2020.
I guess.
If america treats China the same way it does the middle East then a war may be likely.
> Most of China Vs the USA isn't being done with war and guns.
Not yet. There would obviously be a prelude to everything.
> It's with trade instead which is a lot better in my opinion.
For now. Same thing for competition between Great powers for markets before the Great wars.
> However if the world defends into a cold war I don't think humans will make it out alive.
There is no need for nukes. If world descends into a full scale world war, it could also end in a revolution like the russian one instead of full annihilation.
The areas that are going to be administrated by the Chinese will.
indirect colonialism is the trend. No need to administer it directly. Just extract the resources from puppets.
> More than that, France retained control of the CFA—the basic monetary unit of Central and West Africa. To this day African countries such as Mali, Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroon and Gabon, are required to deposit two-thirds of their foreign exchange surpluses into a French operations account.
>There is no need for nukes. If world descends into a full scale world war, it could also end in a revolution like the russian one instead of full annihilation.
True but most of the population of the world would just be wiped out
> Not yet. There would obviously be a prelude to everything.
Unless China actively tries to get involved in overthrowing governments I don't think we will get to a world war.
>For now. Same thing for competition between Great powers for markets before the Great wars.
Maybe

you just need a single torch to light a powderkeg. Look up how many times Cuban missile crisis came close to a world war or how WW1 began.
>The areas that are going to be administrated by the Chinese will.
Many areas are still under Frances thumb.
That won't change even if the Chinaman comes.
France still gets a lot of money from Africa even after colonialism.
Too bad they have to deal with African migrants tho.
eurokeks will just use africans for labor later on

True WW3 could happen over something small but idk if that will happen.

Lol, Africans never get it good.
> True WW3 could happen over something small but idk if that will happen.
Right now the systems of alliances aren't fully setted up yet like before WW1 or during Cold War. The conditions are not right just yet.
> Lol, Africans never get it good.
True, and all of those so-called diversity supporting liberals basically want to import brown and black people for low-pay labor. They are quite clear about that aim. If conditions worsen, eurokeks will probably use labor camps.
>Right now the systems of alliances aren't fully setted up yet like before WW1 or during Cold War. The conditions are not right just yet.
True, what do you think the new war will be about anyway.
Which countries will form alliances?
> Lol, Africans never get it good.
>True, and all of those so-called diversity supporting liberals basically want to import brown and black people for low-pay labor.
True people only care about Africa due to its natural resources and it's labour, it has been like that since the 1700-1800 with the slave trade and the 1900 with the colonising for minerals.
True but I don't know why western countries like britian isn't doing what China is doing.
If a war ever happens you would want the resources that are in Africa.
>They are quite clear about that aim. If conditions worsen, eurokeks will probably use labor camps.
Maybe

Quite obvious. Emerging vs hegemony just like last world wars.
Compton and skid row are minor parts of a ginormous city
A small price to pay for salvation
the US has been alienating its allies in Europe for at least a decade if not two decades now. I’d be surprised if the EU would support the US unconditionally like it did in the past or would mingle more and more with China and/or Russia (other their economy doesn’t shit the bed first)
At first EU might stay out. But as war begins to escalate, it would be forced to take a side to secure their status.
>the US has been alienating its allies
The USA has been alienating most of africa until recently.
The person with the most resources wins wars, and China is buying up those resources
europe and usa would probably directly invade africa or set up puppets there if a full scale war occurs.
this is true, which would cause us to side with the US because the US would undoublty win any conventional war against any opponent, except maybe Europe when we’d stop hating each other and start to shit out soldiers and military hardware en masse
Africa is only as significant as its natural resources, what’s more threatening our status quo is the fact that China will create a monopoly on a lot of our manufacturing industries like electronics and medical gear if we let them take over Africa without any resistance
> US would undoublty win any conventional war against any opponent,
Not against China in the future.
> US would undoublty win any conventional war against any opponent,
2 empires trying to carve out influence in africa as usual.
>europe and usa would probably directly invade africa or set up puppets there if a full scale war occurs.
True but with Chinese investment it a bit harder to just go in it.
Western puppets are never good and all the western puppets that have ruled Africa, like that bizarre king in CAR, and Mobutu Seke Seko have only been trouble.
If they install plants these plants have to be good, if not the countries will fall and most of the resources they want won't get mined efficiency and there will be terror groups everywhere like there is in CAR and northern DRC.
hdi is a meme
They would probably go to a more direct form of control during a full scale war. Like how Anglos occupied Egypt.
>Not against China in the future.
China is a house of card which is build on sand. A lot of their numbers are inflated and false, imo I think that once China reaches a real middle class that the whole economy will shit the bed and crumble because they have to outsource it to India for cheap labor, imagine the rust belt in early 2000’s but 100 times worse
>Africa is only as significant as its natural resources
And it's human capital, Africa even in the early years was mainly used for its human capital, that being slaves.
It was more efficient to use slaves to develop then it was to pay first worlders wages.
In a sense this hasn't changed and many Africans are used to grab minerals and sell them for Uber cheap prices to 1st world countries.
> China is a house of card which is build on sand.
They've been saying that for decades
> A lot of their numbers are inflated and false
Probably, but they are still growing fast.
> China reaches a real middle class that the whole economy will shit the bed and crumble because they have to outsource it to India for cheap labor, imagine the rust belt in early 2000’s but 100 times worse
Absolutely. This is the point where a war might occur.
while their human capital is valuable, it is expendable, you can replace all those children digging for minerals and/or washing them with a couple of Eastern Europeans, who might be bit more expensive but they probably get more done.
The west and China have a symbiotic relationship, we’re at the point where it would be fatal for us to undermine and ruin the Chinese economy because it would backfire thrice as much for our economies, same goes for China. Hence why we have a sorta economical Cold War where we try to have a race into full automization and who’ll first replace all low skill labor in their country will win in the end, hence why China invests so much into corporate and academics espionage in the west. IMO you don’t fight China with stupid Tarif wars but at the admittance to your colleges and universities
> The west and China have a symbiotic relationship
Same could be said between USSR and the west with USSR's dependence on American agriculture.
> we try to have a race into full automization and who’ll first replace all low skill labor in their country will win in the end,
Automation is exaggerated. As long as we fail to make fully human robots(which we have not even made a single step towards), humans will always be better and more flexible.
> IMO you don’t fight China with stupid Tarif wars but at the admittance to your colleges and universities
You need to kill your competitor. That's just how it works.
