The 8 part is itself a remake of I believe a 5 part in Black and White. I was just talking about the one set. There was also a failed reboot of the Scorpion King.

As hard as the other one failed, that would really be an achievement.

βfreeβ is insane, it was very very costly and thats for those who stopped being colonized, parts of west/north africa kept being colonized by france until litterally right now, and south africa left itβs collonial overlords forβ¦ colonial overlord who happened to live in the country, they did get lots of technological advancement but thats because the colonial overlords had to take the train too, but it didnβt improve the lives on anyone til the end of apartheid. some didnβt even get development, leo the second kinda just murdered people. Ethiopia was in a terrible position for a bit but these days itβs doing very well compared to itβs neighbors, i doubt not being colonized was a signifigant downside.
east asian has a low population β¦ china has a high population
i guess they just let people say whatever these days even if it makes no sense
african is an unhinged category to put alongside indian and chinese. africa has a higher population than india or china, but no one cares because africa is a continent, and if weβre comparing those, it gets beaten by asia (which has both india and china). West african is probably the area with the potential to go for india of china levels of success, Nigeria is BIG, people forget that.
βMostβ is so utterly unhinged, iβm just going to assume you mean plurality.
more like it was actually supposed to start a whole classic monster movie cinematic universe and failed so hard youβve never heard of the Dark Universe
east africa in general did very well, itβs a forgotten part of the spice trade, integral for getting gold into india to pay for the spices, which is where the somalians and somalilanders got the naval technology to make good vassals. People tend to discuss how the chinese needed to be payed in silver and the effort taken to get it to them, but the rest of the silk road / spice trade accepted gold, and it needed to come from somewhere, which was, in large part, west africa. West africa never achieved military or naval power, so itβs unsexy and ignored, but they had some good stuff youβd need to trade across the sahara and mine gold and stay stable and in same cases, unified.

Where did this come from? Can we not debate the ethics of the history of colonialism on the forums, please?

tbf when animalia first made those remarks which deathwake referenced there didnβt seem to be backlash against them. Is it only the escalation that crossed the line?

We were talking about the history of the red sea (Byzantium, Axum, Sassanians) and then it kind of railed into the rise and downfall of the Ethiopian empire and then I made an observation of how due to the empire not being annexed they ended up not as developed as their neighbors (for a time).
