China is not "passing on" the shit manufacturing jobs like other developing/developed countries have before. It's keeping to pull up its remaining poor agricultural population and/or massively automating them. This means the development "ladder" is breaking and the Global South needs a new model.
Moderating a panel next week and asked participants to send presentations in advance.
The two #globalsouth panelists sent them in not only in advance, but wonderful, detailed presentations.
The two #globalnorth panelists? Sent them not only late, but half-hone, bare-bones presentations that they promised to "finish before the panel"
I feel like this is a metaphor for something...

Through #imperialism, social #democratic states extract cheap #labor & natural #resources from the #globalSouth, allowing them to sustain prosperity, high #wages, & #welfare systems at home while keeping #capital #accumulation intact.

Even those states often praised as moral examples, such as the #Scandinavian countries, rely on vast transfers of value from the #globalSouth through unequal exchange. Their #social stability is built on the hidden #exploitation of others.

Western media often portray violent uprisings and disasters in the Global South as heroic revolutions or tragic spectacles, applying double standards by portraying similar events at home through a different moral lens. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/10/03/world/media-hypocrisy-on-insurrections-and-revolutions/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #globalsouth #media #nepal #philippines #madagascar #indonesia #thewest #africa #southamerica
