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

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.

A third of UK school staff report ‘physical underdevelopment’ in poor students
A third of UK school staff report ‘physical underdevelopment’ in poor students
A survey of more than 14,000 staff also found schools having to step in to provide basic household items
A third of school staff have seen “physical underdevelopment” in students due to poverty, with schools in England stretching their budgets to buy basic household items such as cookers, bedding and clothes for pupils whose families are struggling.
A survey of more than 14,000 school staff, published at the National Education Union’s annual conference in Harrogate, found that this rose to more than half of those teachers working in deprived areas, with warnings that things “can only get worse” after recent benefit cuts. Continue reading...

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.
