    I feel like you did not read a word I wrote…

    Let’s just end this here. You’re either unwilling or incapable of comprehending.

      I indeed read what you wrote. Your argument is that western countries abuse the other ones. However, how it is then possible that some countries are not abused (for example, where I live governments would not allow chile labor) at all and managed to grow and succeed despite having problems in the past?

        Which country are we talking about? If you aren’t willing to reveal it, then why not look it up yourself?

            Bro, I thought you were going to say India or something. Slovakia? That’s a Western country!

            It has barely anything noteworthy in the ground to subjugate the populate over. Your country isn’t blessed/cursed by resources.

            in 2019, slovakia was ranked fourth globally in the production of natural zeolites (accounting for 10% of the world’s production) and seventh in the production of magnesite compounds (accounting for 1.8% of the world’s mine production and 1.4% of the world’s reserves)

            source

            They got a helping hand to get into the Euro-zone, which is of course a huge motivation get your country on track. And of course a fellow western power would have little reason to fuck the the country up.

            It’s part of the EU, for crying out loud. It has access to large markets with no tolls, money can be transferred between it and the rest of the EU for nothing (compared to remittance transferred outside of the EU to Asian, South American, and African countries). The unemployment dropped from ~20% in 1999 (pre-EU) to ~5% (2019).

            To sum up

            • Slovakia is in Europe
            • It has few natural resources
            • It’s part of the EU and most importantly the Euro-zone

            Do you truly believe those factors have nothing to do with its current state?
