there's also the whole intentional racist underdevelopment of Africa thing, too.

What causes someone to be a Republican is underdevelopment of certain parts of the brain.

What causes someone to vote MAGA is underdevelopment of certain parts of the soul.

Dr Walter Rodney was assassinated on June 13, 1980, by a bomb planted in a walkie talkie. He was 38.

His key work, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, exposed the roots of global inequality and the violence of colonial underdevelopment.

Censuring this also contributes to the underdevelopment of critical thinking.
More and more people lately take everything literally or not think that there is a subtext behind it. Which is very dangerous and more now with the increase of GenAI brainroot flooding into everything.

Spurs fan here to say the danger to women’s football in this country, historically and now, is not from trans women but FROM THE FA. They are the people who banned the women’s game and remain responsible for its underdevelopment compared with men’s. The absolute hypocrisy and nerve of the bastards…

Something also worth remembering is that whatever piece of land Russia may or may not continue to occupy in any ceasefire agreement, will be condemned to poverty and underdevelopment for decades to come.

The slavery that happened in Africa (and in a lot of parts of the world) was not a good thing, but the transatlantic slave trade was quantitatively and qualitatively worse and caused centuries of death and underdevelopment in Africa.

"In the 21st century, data, digital labour, and algorithmic infrastructures have emerged as new vectors of accumulation. Here, Prince Ifoh argues that re-reading Walter Rodney, Kwame Nkrumah, and Achille Mbembe reveals how digital capitalism reconfigures… Africa’s history of underdevelopment."

Rest in power, Walter Rodney, who joined the ancestors on 13th June 1980. Walter Rodney turned the world order on its head by delivering a correct analysis of the roots of underdevelopment. He understood the dialectical relationship between Africa’s underdevelopment and Europe’s emergence

U.S.A.: Country in the process of underdevelopment.
We are in Medieval times.

The outbreaks are threatening to cost the country its measles elimination status, which was earned in 2000 after vaccination efforts stopped the virus from spreading continuously. 🧪

Per Rodney, "underdevelopment is a historical relationship, not a natural condition. Africa’s economies were [remade] to serve external accumulation, while their own productive capacities were suppressed.

Europe’s development and Africa’s underdevelopment were 'two sides of the same coin'.”

It’s interesting that something called “amoral familism” gets blamed for underdevelopment in southern Italy but essentially the same thing but called “kinship networks” is credited with economic success in southern China & the overseas Chinese diaspora.

That’s something I hadn’t considered. It’s a tech “innovation” with very little learning curve! So it fits nicely with the underdevelopment of women in STEM.

Thanks for this.

The thing about “USAID is a tool of soft power” is that it’s true, but ripping out all of that aid is also murder.

The solution isn’t just getting rid of USAID. It’s replacing it with direct, unconditional reparations for colonialism and underdevelopment.

Through an innovative program, parents in Senegal had easy access to a therapeutic food that's a boon for malnourished kids. Now there are shortages. Health specialists say U.S. aid cuts are to blame.
A plan to get lifesaving food to hungry kids was working well -- until it wasn't

Underdevelopment of the LLS in Apachesaurus has been used to infer that this species may have been "more terrestrial", but read the paper to see why I think this is not the case.

My favorite: as the import of footwear nosedived, there is a spike in demand for valenki, felted boots which are fine as far as traditional rural boots go, but are also a symbol of poverty, underdevelopment and rural life. The sales of valenki rose by more than 20% since last year, by 56% since 2021

Many agreed they can survive most emergencies, but that it was getting more difficult, especially in tier 1/2 cities where the threshold / line is lower.

While it is more manageable in lower tier cities, many gaps still exist when it comes to welfare and services in terms of underdevelopment.

Slow violence systematically inflicted by the US govt on Native Americans in 2026. As if the deliberate underdevelopment, underfunding, and complete marginalization of First Nation peoples’ tribal lands was not already enough after 250 years.

Shameful and unforgivable. Un-American.
A growing number of Native American community leaders from across California say the government’s spraying of the controversial herbicide glyphosate is poisoning their ancestral lands and infringing on their cultural and religious practices.
Native American leaders denounce record glyphosate spraying on national forests
“It's kind of like killing our tribe again.”
