I had discharged my insomniac unease by looping through iOS games while perseverating on Putin, Xi, MAGA Republicans, and the rest of the nihilistic flexers with malevolent designs on democracy.

Xi, famous nihilist

    I went to Morocco last summer, and ran into a couple of people who spoke english. They seemed pretty interesting, and I was getting tired of having to speak French to everyone, so I struck up conversation with them. It sounded like Morocco, despite its strides in the past 10-20 years, still have a long way to go, because the country is so dependant on foreign investment, specifically French investment. It really seemed like very few people actually wanted to stay in the country and work to improve it, and instead just got whatever degree they could think of that would make it easier to move to France and find a job. And the people who didn't get degrees, wanted to move to Spain to do backbreaking aggricultural labour.

    It honestly amazes me that a country with Moroccos size, population and general education level isn't doing better, but I guess that is one of the main ways that capialism constrains development.

      makes it more attractive to immigrate instead of staying back
