Why is the west falling behind with technical progress?

lol east germany is still a shithole without any industry full of low-IQ retards

Define: technical progress
Pro tip: It's probably some fairy dream that doesn't work with reality

Because the west lost its roots.
Nearly all useful tech, came from stare funded research.
In the last 40 years the west is relying on the private sector to do costly and risky research, which they almost never do.

Because we're too busy fighting for diversity and arguing about the flat earth.

This. The west was much more realistic and motivated racing against the soviets. Nowadays the industry is full of trash leisure apps for dumb people.

China has like 15 megacities in the top 47 list. The second country on the list is India with their 5. US has just 2.

we need information and free standards.

because china is west of the west

>top 47 list
That sounds like an arbitrary cutoff.

Brugge is shit to be honest. Everything closed at 16:00, even the fucking police station. We found a credit card when we were there with my buddy and we couldn't give it to anyone, because everything was closed from banks through police to grocery shop

Just move to China if you think it's so great.
We literally will not miss you.

This. That kike Stallman made it politically incorrect to protect your technology, so now the Chinese have access to all the technology contained in the source code produced by American businesses who had no choice but to open source their products or be considered "evil".

because the west has been flooded with H1 brainlets that are dragging it down like lampreys and ticks.

indeed. Here is a random tier 4 city.

If it's any consolation then by 2100 the shithole countries like China, Nigeria, India will be in the same position our countries are in now, and new states will be the rising economies. Zimbabwe will still be a shithole though.

No. If you had information you could be working on improving society but now all you have is to get rich quick or die with those who dont. No power to change, unable to adapt, only grifting and slavery.

Well good thing they told us what it is, I would've thought it was a bicycle

Well the one good thing that can be said about China is that they keep the oppression, famine, and poverty to themselves.

Those are good things. The problem isn't that, but the lack of protection for our industry and investment in infrastructure and education. Thanks to libertarian ideas, we have been completely deindustrialized over the past half century. We lost our entire manufacturing base to China. That actually happened right after we loosened workers' protections and rights and weakened unions. If anything, we need to strengthen those.

socialism

Megacity = >10M. 47 cities make the cut.

We were more socialist before the mid-70s than we are now. And China is definitely a lot more socialist right now than we are or have ever been.

>t. coping hartznigger

I see. Then it's not so arbitrary I guess.

first all FUCK CHINKS

Second of all i think it has a lot to do with parenting. A lot of Chinese parents push their boys in a good practical direction, where western kids are allowed to do nothing but fortnigte dance till they learn to masturbate.

Yes clearly Fortnite has been the cause of social decay in the west for the last 40 years.

isn't this the "perfect dark" flow/motd? whats the meme about.

I don't speak nazi, what does this say?

And yet nothing valuable has come from the east for ages and people are leaving en masse

He's talking about USA and some European countries destabilizing the middle East and North Africa, ruining it for decades, and then allowing millions of foreigners to come into their Homeland. It's a cycle of retardation that the west is continuing

Megacities are a good thing though. They concentrate the resource and divide them much more efficiently than those few living in rural areas. Megacities are thus an optimal way to thrive for the future. I guess I should say that rural->village->town->mid cities->large cities->megacities is the way forward in terms of optimization/efficiency of resource usage per capita.

>cameras don't process photos
You're probably some retard with a bridge camera

lol this has nothing to do with lolbertarians though. And the late 70s also had a massive "financialization" of the whole economy tipping the scales against 99% of the population. This was the biggest factor in the current "stagnation" (if you can even call it that).
