You can fix the third world......by teaching them how to use resources more efficiently.
it took the japanese just a few decades to go from the self-imposed total isolation of the tokugawa shogunate to a great power that rivaled the europeans and the americans in societal and technological development.
after the war, again within a few decades, they went from having their cities reduced to smoldering rubble by firebombing and nuclear strikes to being one of the most successful and prosperous nations on the planet.
the koreans went from the total devastation of the korean war (the americans dropped more bombs during the korean war than they had dropped on japan during all of ww2) to a leading first world nation state within a few decades as well.
for reference, after the korean war SK was a destitute and extremely poor country, economy comparable to that of fucking egypt at the time, and nearly all their major industries were lost (they had been located in the north, the south used to be mostly rural and agrarian pre war)
likewise, the chinks on taiwan turned a small and irrelevant island off the chinese coast into an economic powerhouse of global strategic significance.
development does not work by some foreigner stepping in and doing it for you, it works by you observing how the foreigners do things among themselves, then you make an effort to learn from them, and apply the findings to your own country yourself.
it's been like this since forever - the romans didn't civilize the germanics by trying to uplift them, it happened because the germanics, through contact with the roman colonies that were set up in their lands, learned and copied the way the romans were doing things.
for some reason (
it's IQ) blacks and browns seem incapable of doing this for themselves, so they are stuck in a perpetual left-behind state.
