Ethiopia was never colonized and it remains one of the poorest countries on the planet. Singapore was colonized and it’s one of the richest countries on the planet. It’s not just about corruption, it’s about IQ.

A small part from my 62 minutes feature film Chronicles of Chrome Dynasty: T-minus Subsidized Longing. A deconstructionist exploration of the grandfather paradox through the lens of maternal sacrifice, wherein the colonizer/colonized dynamic is complicated by the colonizers being literal descendants attempting to rewrite their genesis mythology, resulting in a Möbius strip of causality, agency, and rust.

No one’s misunderstanding her. She said: - EVERY person in America is a colonizer. Even the ones who got colonized/enslaved. - Everyone who’s not in America is NOT upholding oppression. - Oppressed people in America are making these choices out of comfort.

Japan colonized Taiwan for 50 years, which led many Taiwanese to be deeply loyal to Japan, including Taiwan's current fake president, Lai Ching-te.👇 The main political struggle in Taiwan today is between the descendants of those colonized before 1949 and those who fled from mainland China to Taiwan after 1949.

Ethiopia was never colonized and for decades was the poster child of poverty in Africa. Botswana was colonized and has been one of Africa’s best-performing economies. Vietnam was colonized, devastated by war, and heavily bombed. Today, it is doing remarkably well. Bottom line: colonialism cannot explain why some countries prosper while others do not.

I've spent my whole life trying to understand why Africa is the poorest region in the world. Low IQ. Malnutrition. Lack of education. Colonialism. Racism. Laziness. I've heard every explanation. None of them made sense. If it’s colonialism, why was Ethiopia (never colonized) for a long time the poster child for African poverty? Why was Botswana, which was colonized, one of the best performers in Africa? And why is Singapore richer than its former colonizer? If it's lack of education, why are half of African university graduates unemployed? Why were math degrees from Eswatini raising chickens before we hired them to teach at our virtual school? The real answer is something nobody wants to talk about:
