Yes, but the technology gap is closing, so Africans are a lot harder to conquer than they were when they mostly only had spears. If the European powers had had to face large armies or militias all equipped with modern rifles and guerilla warfare tactics (as in, say, the Portuguese colonies during the Colonial War, which ended in the colonies' independence after the Portuguese Army was unable to fully suppress them), they'd have been far more hesitant to commit to conquering Africa as opposed to just trading with it.

The population dynamics have changed as well. Europe had a bigger population than Africa until the 1990s, and now Africa's is over twice as large. It's a lot harder to face a rebellion that's multiple times bigger. A revolt in, say, Ethiopia (population 100 million or so) could be millions strong. 19th century Africa was very sparsely populated by comparison.

Given that I'm a member of the National Raygun Association I'm hardly going to argue against this. They should be armed.

Though i would love to see Bob try and deal with a "guns keep Africa from being recolonized" argument.

If he really cared about making film criticism less bro-ish, he would have spoken up about Devin Faraci's cancerous attitude before he was outed as a guy who harasses women. "Less bro-ish" just means getting rid of people Bob has deemed toxic.

Guns certainly played a massive part in decolonisation, and it's been repeatedly shown that guerilla warfare is hard to deal with. The dictatorship in Portugal saw the colonies as part of the country and was extremely reluctant to let them go, and France felt the same about Algeria. Eventually, after years of campaigns which failed to suppress guerillas completely, those colonies all got their independence.

The contrast between that and the 19th century machine guns against spears battles is stark indeed. I'd love to see Bob try to handle that argument. He'd probably go like Professor of Beyonce Studies Kevin Allred and say that guns were bad, except when black people have them.

So much broken verbal camouflage to disguise the fact he's a straight-ticket drone.

China will probably engage in mass sterilizations through vaccines and cheap food instead.
There is no way racist China will not engage in genocide in Africa.

Vaccines and cheap food? Does that mean all developed countries are suffering genocide right now? We have plenty of both.

Aren't they having demographic issues? It's all McDonald's fault! Their cheap food is making us fat! Thereby reducing attractiveness, thereby reducing sex, thereby reducing your numbers and making you all genocide yourselves! Need proof? Just look at bob! Wake up sheeple!

(Then again, maybe china will just offer free lead seasoning.)

Wait. This is Bob. He'll just reply by mentioning the uses of spears in black panther like it's evidence.

(I mean if vibranium spears are so good, why not vibranium bullets?)

:offtopic: I could take a shot at handwaving that. While I'm sure there is some example of vibranium bullets I'm forgetting, the way it absorbs energy makes it ineffective to fire out of a gun compared to making other weapons and armor. A better material to use would be the 2nd strongest metal in Marvel, Adamantium, and that's a bitch to produce the alloy. Adamantium lacks any of the weird qualities that vibranium has.

Has he ever really explained how "nations and borders are obsolete"? I always think he's going to give some stupid answer about the internet making the world more connected but that has nothing to do with nations and borders. You need borders to uphold the law and no politicians, especially Bob's idols like Hillary, would ever even consider the idea of abolishing the government. That's just asking to get conquered by whatever asshole shows up next.

The Mexican and Canadian governments aren't going to join us in becoming borderless super-America. Well, maybe the Canadians but it's more likely they're join the countless nations that'll start annexing parts of the US. There is absolutely no way it can turn out good.

I think they mentioned in the movie that vibranium doesn't do well at high speeds. Besides they seem to prefer energy weapons anyway, probably because you have to make more bullets all the time but a spear with an inbuilt energy cannon can be used repeatedly and maybe even picked up by someone else and used again.

Ah i didn't know the spears were really guns. Energy guns sure, but still guns.

I don't exactly recall if the spears were also guns, i think they were, but energy weapons (and energy shields, one tribe is literally a wall of Reinhardts from Overwatch) were involved.

Now I'm scratching my head trying to think why Black Panther himself doesnt have a collapsible weapon like Corvo's fuckin' sweet "Switchsword" from Dishonored. Must not fit the theme and is probably a bitch to get through customs.

Anyway, off topic but hopefully amusing sperginf over.

I think it's the point-blank way Bob states this, but this probably the most heartless way to say you're pro-abortion. You can argue how valid the statement is, but I can't stand the way Bob is wording it.

Knowing people like Bob though, they don't care, as long as they get to stick it to the cousin-marrying religious fanatics known as the right.
