Another problem for that model is that although it's true that it takes some time for norms to adapt to technology the recent collapse has been very sudden and even if you assume that norms"

"This is your periodic reminder that colonization was a money pit for France and is obviously not what made it rich but rather it's because it was rich that it was able to colonize Africa. Today French trade with Africa is tiny and we're a net exporter of food products to Africa. France didnt do anybody a favor by letting Algerians Malians Senegalese and others they robbed come live there and work like dogs. Africa does the favors. African gold African labor. Africa feeds France. African soldiers shed blood for France in WWI and WWII and the troops France didnt do anybody a favor by letting"
