This old post got crossposted today in one of my subs and fascinated me. The top comment brings up the fact that even in OP’s wildest dreams only “extreme poverty” gets wiped out, with a super lib reply being “you can never eradicate poverty because it’s human nature to want to be rich and the poors are lazy and blablabla”.
I’ve always found it depressing just how bleak the liberal outlook on the world is, where even the far flung future isn’t safe. Even in their “utopic” scenario that eliminates borders, people just have to suffer because that’s the way things have to be. (Not surprising that OP is the “TWR guy” but I digress)
No wonder SCI-FI as a genre turned me off until somewhat recently.
This has to be the most ignorant thing I've ever seen. Making Uruguay part of Argentina? Splitting up South Africa and re-creating the apartheid provinces with "new" names? Giving Namibia back to a federation that was part of South Africa? Calling federations "Amazon", "Horn of Africa", etc? No one will accept this at all, even the very idea of these borders would start at least 10 wars. Would be colonialists please for the love of literally anything, stop. Pls stop.
Editing to say of course the creator of this map posts in r/neoliberal. What a fucking suprise
