he's way worse than anyone on places like stupidpol. glenn now reminds me of those "radical centrist" fence sitter "rationalist" youtubers from the early 2010s who would claim to be "classical liberals" and then spend hours s***ting on Islam for being incompatible with the west or whatever, it's a very similar type of outward hostility while at the same time both saying and representating very little ideologically. "the left has gone too far these days!" - guy who has never spoken to a union member in his life
I think the reason why the Latin american countries didn't get that same allowance was because their objective was primarily exploitation not state craft. East Asia wasn't a critical economic region for them the way Latin America was.
I think they had just as much if not even more say in East Asia at least at the beginning since the US military had hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there while in LatAm their influence was mostly by proxy. They could've set a policy similar to the LatAm one, but it would have been counterproductive because theres no economic incentive and the security aspect requires a different approach. 1. The raw materials that those LatAm puppet states were singularly structured around extracting werent there in Korea or Singapore. 2. Like you mentioned the specter of Communism is much realer in East Asia, the instability and economic weakness that comes with a 50s Cuba type of state makes it a terrible buffer state especially when it's so close to the USSR and China.
Thinking about Africa again I'm leaning towards the explanation of neocolonialism and the structural adjustments you mentioned.
Yeah I agree in short their interests in Latam were more based on short term corporate interests and East Asia more ideological and geopolitical.

social media gave this guy brain damage fr
Much of Africa did develop for a while until the late 70s, much of it was undone by the third world debt crisis
According to Howard Nicholas, that growth was dependent on the Four Asian Tiger's rapid industrialization which drove up demand for cheap commodities and you can see the same thing in the last ~20 years with Chinese industrialization and African exports
Turned off every single news outlet from the west. I’m not even curious as to what they’re saying or what new fake China or Ukraine narrative they’re constructing. Only a headache at this point. God I f***ing hate liberals with every fiber of my being
this is A+ level satire

Deleting twitter too. Someone please keep this thread updated with Chen Weihua nukes
This article about African development is great, compares it to East Asian development which is just what I was looking for. @Scratchin_Bandit you might be interested

As contradictions make themselves more clear, people would rather seek out their own opportunist answers than deny the fact that they were wrong about the proposed solutions they despised for so long
