That is good, although I notice only Latin America got included out of the western hemisphere. (US is 11. 1.
The 21st century seems like a repeat of the 20th. A terrorist attack sets off a world wide war, a global pandemic, an economic boom resulting in major crash, sufferage given to repressed minority groups, and the rise/popularity of far-right movements. But we are only up to the 20s, so expect in the future:
-A long lasting economic depression due to deregulation and over-valuation of companies in the 20s,
-Isolationism in the US
-Economic issues in Russia due to war
-Election and control of counties given to far right movements/dictators.
Cap it off with a world wide war starting next decade where nuclear weapons will be used. (quarter to half billion dead).
b/c life’s rough, bringing some… not exactly cheer but -
Like a billion lifted outta poverty in this graph

And in about 80 years we’ll get another Band of Brothers.
Now you say this as a prediction, buuuuuuut…you just described Russia’s whole existance for like…the past 1200 years.

Don’t tell the people of Lemmy that capitalism and global trade are a large reason for the decline in overall poverty though.
Capitalism is the root cause of poverty, my guy
Lol.
Before capitalism and free trade, 90% of the global population was in extreme poverty. It’s now down to 10%.
Since China and other countries ended communism, poverty has declined faster than at any other point in human history.
😂😂
Great argument, that.
Always wait for validation from random bootlicking Internet trolls before feeling accomplishment, that’s my motto.
Still waiting for you to make any kind of counterpoint…
