Great because I would delete Steam if it ever did happen.

If I'm not mistaken, there have been 60+ million aborted preganancies in the US since the mid-70s. Pretty strong data supports the claim you are questioning, it's also probably the reason for recent successful attacks on abortion rights.

Are you saying the state should dictate what you can do with the energy you buy?

You seem to be ignoring history for the sake of defending a false western narrative.

The reality is it's just one of 100s of centrally created false western narratives you may have fallen for.

If you are in the US, I cant completely blame you. There are too many drug dealing and human trafficking family fortunes in the US ruling class for the truth about one of their largest crime spree victims to easily emerge. African history is another victim of similar fraud.

>and therefore is quite worthless.

You are making an assumption that their statement is false without evidence.

Just making that clear.

Theranos's "Edison Machine" springs to mind.

>I believe Americans rarely try to say jump the line, lie to you for tiny advantages, do you harm out sheer spite etc.

I have a feeling minorities in the US would disagree.

>Americans are being kicked around by their corporations, and now they are being just as big assholes back.

It might be systemic.

American style capitalism leads to individualism and an environment where most people cant afford to care for other people.

No need to go off topic. This is from your own linked article.

"We can confirm that our moderators took down several channels sharing personal data. However, we can also confirm that no private user data was requested from Telegram and that none has been shared."

>The deadliest famine in human history, the Great Chinese Famine, was caused by Communist policies.

Intellectually dishonest to ignore the ~10 year blockade carried out by western countries.

Correct. This is why I recommend gathering body parts from Arlington cemetery.

People are bending over backwards to avoid paying black Americans for trillions in stolen labor. Switching the topic from race to class is another attempted deflection by the dominant groups in the US.

Incorrect, the historical record of illegal western blockades leading to famines is very clear.

If there is any famine, it will be thanks to western interference aka obstruction.

Luckily for SA, in the reality of a declining west, they will probably get Chinese assistance instead of being isolated.

African countries should consider any attempt to tag their citizens an attack. The countries that will end up with this data are historically among the most racist on the planet and will find a harmful use for it, if they havent already.

IMO Sam Altman and Worldcoin should be banned from the African continent.

>Or do they need to develop their own concept of the state, or at the risk of sounding imperialistic, do they need to learn the concept of the nation state?

Western governments need to stop assassinating leaders and toppling democratically elected governments every few years for that to happen. That hasnt stopped and it has a chilling effect, which is the purpose.
