Why have countries around the equator historically been poor and ruled by war lords and dictators?

Why have countries around the equator historically been poor and ruled by war lords and dictators?

Is it because of the weather around the equator is too hot to motivate people to actually get any work done? Or is it more to do with genetics?

Both, as well as many other factors, I'm sure.

Perhaps rain forests arenĀ“t as suited for agriculture as temperate regions are?

>is too hot to motivate people to actually get any work done

What are you talking about, it's well known adverse weather effects stimulate people to better their environment and drive technological growth and innovation :^)

>Is it because of the weather around the equator is too hot to motivate people to actually get any work done? Or is it more to do with genetics?
why the fuck do you leap to this and not agriculture, disease and desirability as a commercial and industrial center

It's very simple OP.

It's genetics, the Equatoroid race has a far lower average IQ compared to the Northeroids and Southeroids.

Boo hoo the mean racists are so stoopid :(

yep

>dont be mean too me just because i base my worldview on jpegs!

Be European in ice age. You have to think ahead and plan otherwise you'll starve to death, also a reason for Europeans being by far the least lactose intolerant people. That along with random chance evolution and mixture with Neanderthals creates a strong hardy people with a culture and outlook for always thinking ahead and planning.

Be black living in lush Africa, whenever your hungry go out and chase down a deer over a few hours, no foresight required breeds a culture of living in the moment since they'll always be food there.

if you knew your history right, you'd know that the vast amount of these countries have been victims of western imperialism and still suffer from it.

Can you show a direct causal link of this with plenty of empirical evidence?

"It just makes sense" isn't a credible source btw.
Neither are jpegs of american black crime.

>Be European in ice age. You have to think ahead and plan otherwise you'll starve to death

Then why dont Eskimos rule the world?

jews

A culture with for all purposes has infinite food/water and the perfect conditions for life has no reason to advance or think ahead. Why develop agriculture when you can just hunt a deer real easy? We invent things to make jobs easier

On the contrary a society where food and resources are scarce encourages evolution and foresight. I think the entirety of human history speaks. Black civilizations were little more then slave trading posts. Can you name one significant black society in the entire history of the world.

>Muh Mali (Got all it's intellectuals from the Arab world) and was thoroughly Arabized. Muh Ethiopians fighting off the Italians (With free allied military training and arms).

Lack or resources and such, the Europeans up in the North also suffered. Why weren't the Finns up the top of Finland a world power???

> infinite food/water in the amazon and congolese jungles
>encourages evolution
>Black civilizations
>"muh" memearrows as if they hold any semblance of argument at all

You still haven't shown anything beyond "it just makes sense."
And you clearly have problems with understanding certain areas of history, sociology, biology and even fucking geography.

>Greece is dark blue
>Mexico is light blue but china isn't >Moldova isn't orange
what criteria do they use to define development?

worlds shittiest jpg. Greece as blue

They are rich before the Europeans Invaded them,

all the above. the brain is like a CPU and thus humans from colder climates have larger and more efficient ones adapted due to eco-geography.

Europe is bordered by harsh mountain ranges and other natural borders. The channel, the Alps,Caucasus mountains even choke points like le SPARTA Thermopylae etc do not help for the spread of technology. France for example has good mountain ranges on the Spanish side,Italian sides but relatively open flat ground up near Belgium and the Netherlands, even Rome had the alps and the seven hills of Rome for protection against other cities. The Rhine river and so many other natural obstacles Europe is plenty divided by Geography.

>Jungles aren't full of food
Yes Ancient and Medieval Africa etc, is the perfect place to find food and the perfect temperature and temperate for life. Africa used to be and still is one of the most fertile places on Earth with a large abundance of wildlife and natural water ways all year around. It doesn't freeze over and in jungles and such it doesn't get so hot all the water dries up and your forced to dig wells like the Arabs. Why grow grain or think ahead when there's no need? This creates a culture of not thinking for the future. Contrary to Europe and Asia where there would be a evolutionary bias to those who could plan ahead and survive being hungry for me

The lack of evidence of any significant Black society's adds to this also.

just makes sense

Well can you provide the great philosophers of Black Africa and the great empires of central Africa which were bastions of new technology.

Or how about in defense of the evolutionary differences in Humans we see now. Height,skull shape,facial differences etc, And how these is a chance they are inferior to Whites be it a small chance.

Did you know in the Zulu language before Whites added more words there were no words for precision, It would be impossible to say the coconut is halfway up the tree only that it is "up"

ah yes, such great BARRIERS as the mediterranean sea, the english channel, the danube and the rhine, which totally were not trade high fucking ways
i'm so enlightened now

When the heck was that map made? In what world is Uruguay any less developed than other Southern Cone nations, North Korea not least developed, and a shitload of those Middle Eastern nations not at least in transition? Niger and Congo on the same fucking level as Bahrain? Bullshit.

>IQ is the only factor

>Africa has no rivers
>Africa has no inland lakes
>Africa isn't surrounded by Ocean

Ethiopia wasn't a slave post moron.

and they never once constructed a boat that was seaworthy.

>Greek cucks
>Advanced economy

>being surrounded by open ocean as opposed to the most mellow inland sea in the world
>Egypt developed around the Nile
>The most developed parts of Africa are around the Nile, on the mediterranean coast, and on the red sea coast, which are relatively small inland seas
>the rest of Africa is separated from the rest of the world by a desert, a crowded forest, and then desert some more, halting the spread of any new technology coming from the hindu valley, the yellow river valley, the nile valley, mesopotamia, greece, the mediterranean

It was Christianized and Arabnized being right next to the most advanced Ancient Kingdoms of the World. It's the equivalent of putting Ancient Greece next to the some Zulu tribes then going. "Look they're just as advanced and as smart as the Greeks even though they just stole from them". Also being turned Muslim helped as it opened up trade with the Ottomans and other North African Muslim kingdoms

Egypt regularly raided/enslaved and put down black tribal rebellions in Kush and beyond.

What's this image I have here. Would you look at that.

>the only sub-sharian civilisation worth mentioning developed along the congo river
>still blocked off the spread of technologies from the rest of the world due to sahara
>everything south of the congo river has it even worse as there are both world's largerst desert and a giant fucking jungle between them and the rest of civilisations
>the also have shit percentage of arable land

>christianized
The court did it themselves after a missionary from the Levant came to Ethiopia. No one forced it upon them.
>arabized
False. After the Aksumites gave Muhammad hospitality from the pagans he told every muslim to not invade Ethiopia which stuck until the 16th century.

Ethiopia was a civilization that was largely propped up by the natives, hence why not a single Arab ruled or conquered the region. Ge'ez, their written script literally predates Arabic.

Sure the court did it but in doing so allowed much better relations and trading with other powers. It also opened the ways for Arab intellectuals to travel inward to the territory. Effectively adopting the customs of the more advanced nations. They did not come to being a bit more advanced by themselves.

There's no book that debunks racism, so what are you basing it on? Nothing.

JPEG's are usually screengrabs from scientific papers

What are rivers? You can get all the way from the Nile down to Lake Victoria. Then surely places along and around lake Victoria would have some form of advanced technology and Philosophers and such then?

I guess Vikings traveling from Scandinavia into Russia and out the Black sea didn't happen.

This system explains every single country in the world:
>race (East Asians>Jews>Whites>SEA>Indians>Arabs>Mestizos>Amerindians>Mulattos>Blacks)
>economy (communist>socialist>10 years capitalism>20 years of capitalism...)
>cultural constraints (castes>Islam...)

the further away from egypt you go the less developed it gets, the harder it becomes for ideas to spread (just like northern europe was mud huts despite bordering mediterranean cultures due to being a bit further away from those centers of civilisation)

Nobody has ever denied that Jews are smart, as they are genetically southern Europeans

The Nile river had cataracts.

It's not acquired at all. Do you even know what Arabised fucking is?

Wasn't frumentius Greek?

>Did you know in the Zulu language before Whites added more words there were no words for precision, It would be impossible to say the coconut is halfway up the tree only that it is "up"


You just ripped that straight from that shitty article that makes some extreme bullshit about African languages.

>development is only worth something if it comes from nothing.
By your logic the macedonians were just as bad as the Ethiopians because they just took the greek culture

what does that image even mean?

>All of eastern Europe, post .SU countries and Russia are all 'in transition'.

They should all be orange, have any of you visited a town in those areas? A majority of Russia actually lives in poverty.

>don't mind me derailing 2 anons arguing about Africa

but races do have more variation within them than between them
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_index
rs191912, i checked, in an actual human database for genes, it has no correlation with intelligent phenotypes
i checked 2 things and both turned out bullshit, a lot of the other things seem false as well and have seen people debunk them

i don't get why this chart gets posted over and over again? and never gets revised at least

I believe humans aren't all the same, but let's have some honesty

zulus as a meme are a recent invention, by shaka, in the 1820's. prior to the mfecane zulus were a minor bantu tribe amongst many in what is now KZN.

also: there are no coconuts in kwazulu, and the blacks were farmers who kept cattle as a form of wealth.

>genetics
Woah dude, thata way

you can go up rivers and waterfalls on boats?

>india, china, the middle east, egypt were historically poor.

>what are resource curses

You idiots still make this thread every day?

They were rich in the past.

but current year is the only year that matters.

Resource curse doesn't apply to any of them.

>petro-states don't have resource curses
point and laugh everyone

>resource curse
>they didn't develop said resources to exploit them.
dumbass.

Maybe it's because of n****rs (fuck this SJW site, they ban me, just because I said n****r). Racial slurs should be allowed everywhere, no matter what.
