We are sacrificing the third world to battle climate change and advance AI. I guess that is the ultimate form of San Francisco Big Tech NIMBYism.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite My Dad worked for the #ITU and then the #UNDP as an electrical engineer in the #thirdWorld. One of the highlights of his life was to establish enough engineering schools in Africa that an uninterrupted telephone call could be made from Egypt to SA and he could see that this would be an on-going facility. So much for the UN being a “tool of the USA”. #unitedNations

"The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World", by Vincent Bevins
#Book presentation: "In 1965, the U.S. government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the twentieth century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful."
#Quote from book: “I fear that the truth of what happened contradicts so forcefully our idea of what the Cold War was, of what it means to be an American, or how globalization has taken place, that it has simply been easier to ignore it.”

> This myth has remained unruffled even in the face of the accelerating “#Brazilianization” of the #ThirdWorld over the past several decades, very often under active U.S. sponsorship, with frequent displacement of democratic government and extensive and growing resort to repression, including physical torture, imprisonment, death squads, and mysterious “disappearances,” all within the U.S. sphere of influence.https://znetwork.org/zmagazine/the-washington-connection-and-third-world-fascism/

CW: Have we figured out yet that we can't become modern by just building towers everywhere?

CORPORATION: "We are excited to build these #highrise dwellings with #indebtedLabour we sourced from abroad.
Building these #verticalSlums creates #jobs for a bit. We care about the short term. When these barely #liveable projects near completion though we will lobby govt to enable us to #rape the #localCommunity again to build more #prisons (-I mean), #verticalPrecincts.
We'll ensure the #humanFilingCabinets offer that #thirdWorld-style #ghetto vibe.
