Is it possible to have a thread on Africa without having it devolve into a /pol/ tier shitfest? I hope so, because I have a question about pic related. It seems that the parts of Africa with the best land quality are somehow the poorest. Is this attributable at all to the ethnic groups that populate those particular areas? For example, the northern, eastern, and very most southern parts of Africa are not considered the same sub-Saharan Bantus that populate the good parts of Africa (like the Congo). What kind of differences between these ethnic groups could account for not only the Bantu's lack of success but their lack of success in otherwise favorable conditions when everyone else had access to far less resources.

>"Hey anon I'm going on a mission trip!"
>"Cool, what're you doing there!"
>"We get to ride on a jungle boat tour and pet some trained elephants!"
>"That's cool, but I meant what mission work are you doing?"
>"Oh, we're gonna see which village needs the most aid and send them money."
>"So... you're going on a vacation and then sending them church funds afterwards?"
>"Well, we're also there to spread the word..."


Why are Christians in the US so radically materialist and why do they think this bullshit qualifies as "mission work"?

So why didn't Homer show his heroes feasting on fish? The issue seems to have been so controversial that Plato felt compelled to speculate (his theory was that fish was considered too luxurious and aristocratic, for those curious)

So did we really progress beyond the middle ages caste society as is continuously repeated to us?

The industrial and post industrial societies only changed the means but wagecucks are just hypenated peasants working for a feudal (corporate) lord and their lives become shittier and more artificial by the day

>hey brah, you have running water naw, you should be grateful
People live on painkillers, energy drugs, pass 9-10 hours of their day in front of a cancerigenous screen doing useless garbage to produce useless garbage for the corporatists who sell them to the same wagecucks to fill emotional voids. Then go to drink or do some placebo stuff after work to feel "realized" then go back to home to a cold, soulless enviroment where everybody is connected to a screen. Worse if the wagecuck gets sued and has to pay alimony to his ex wife to also never see his children again.

As I stated before I'm not saying that the past was better, where you could get beheaded for questioning the Pope, but wtf where are we headed as species?

Also existencialism general to keep this /his/ related
