Gabon and Botswana are now high in HDI and South Africa is close.
Say something nice about these countries.
Gabon and Botswana are now high in HDI and South Africa is close
That's good.
>high
I don't mean to be a dick but (I'm going to be a dick) anything that isn't "very high" is effectively a shithole.
gabon and botswana are also richer than serbia!!! go gabon and botswana!!
but you are very high...
no offense
not really, dated a girl from Mauritius (right next to these countries) and while they weren't rich, life there seemed pretty good and for the most part safe
>not really because of [anecdotal evidence]
as opposed to your arbitrary of idea of what is and isn't a shithole that you're trying to present as a fact, right
rather live in Mauritius than some murderous south american shit heap like argentina
I always supported Botswana. Go, Botswana!
>ywn live in Botswana
>as opposed to your arbitrary of idea of what is and isn't a shithole that you're trying to present as a fact, right
arbitrary? my country is in "very high HDI", look up our stats, GDP (nominal, PPP, per capita, all of them) our purchasing power, our crime rate, also specifically our murder rate, the only good thing here is education and that's because universities are free, any country below us can't NOT be a shithole.
this is not anecdotal evidence, you have legitimate stats.
>than some murderous south american shit heap like argentina
retard, lmao
>also specifically our murder rate
right, you have legitimate stats like how your homicide rate is 5x higher than that of Mauritius while HDI measures things like length of time spent in school. in reality there are plenty of other countries below you on the HDI that are better to live in. either that, or the US is literally one of the best countries on the planet to live in because of our place on the list
>"very high HDI"
>purchasing power
>inflation 30% per month
What the fuck are you talking about?
that map shows us darker than you, it's bullshit
en.wikipedia.org
your murder rate is higher than ours and over 3x higher than mauritius
no, what the fuck are you talking about?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
why are you quoting me? you're literally proving my point.
are you legitimately retarded? like diagnosed I mean.
>be brazilian
>unarmed
>get shot
;_;
>the US is literally one of the best countries on the planet to live in because of our place on the list
It is.
not him btw
don't talk to me, you're poor and unwashed
>be retarded
>get told
>don't talk to me
alright José.
i can feel myself getting dirtier and poorer every time you reply to me
can't possibly imagine being this retarded
kek
have fun, mong.
ah fuck now i have to shower
I'm sure that in time, there will be African countries with very high HDI. The 'lions of Africa' group are making steady progress in both GDP and HDI
South Africa is like the most underrated country in the world.
I've walked around the country on google street view and I don't understand how come it isn't considered first world because it looks so. I don't see any difference between a suburb of Cape Town and any other warm Anglo country.
Lies, Gabon poor
South Africa is very inequal, they have first world urbanism in some areas and totally ugly slums in other areas
Sounds like the US, doesn't it?
Are you fucking retarded? What the fuck does exchange rate have to do with anything?
By that logic Japan is third world as HELL.
But it's not. Because exchange rate means fucking nothing you uneducated neanderthal. Actually, scratch that - You were probably just too fucking stupid to let any of your education sink in, you putrid fuck.
Yes, visiting Cape Town in street view is like saying you'd live in the U.S. because you saw pics of Martha's Vineyard.
Ok, I know SA is dangerous, but still, in terms of architecture, urbanism, infrastructure, it's pretty first world.
Also everything is so cheap there so even if you make mediocre money by western standards, your purchasing power and living standards will be higher
Massive disparity between living standards for different areas of the country. Some of the worst in the world. Look up Gini coefficients. All the HIV and racial violence probably doesn't help.
Of course, what you mention was all designed by the Anglo-Dutch society which is crumbling day by day. Living in ZA is not the wisest choice now ...
Kek, the US has nothing on the level of income and living standard inequality in SA.
This century will be the KARA BOGA century
My cousin lives in johannesburg and he says he'd never change it for any other country (and he's lived in quite a few of them) unless wh*tes are kicked out of the country, he makes western-tier salary while his living costs are laughable, he can hire maids to do everything for him, rent a big house with a pool, eat out every day and he feels like he spends nothing
he just says that he doesn't go out at night and that's pretty much all, he doesn't even own a gun (but his neighborhood is guarded)
I'm kinda jealous desu
Go back to krautchan
real kraut doesn't exist anymore
wtf who is the real poland
And you saffapole should have died with it.
How the fuck have you ever met someone from that small island?
It can't have a population greater than like 200k
Why are you so butthurt? Because there's a country where whites can live well at the expense of its black majority?
Yes, that might sound unfair but it's not that these blacks lived better before whites came.
Why do you talk about your cousin every fucking day on Jow Forums?
because every fucking day someone starts a thread and says that South Africa is a shitty country to live
If I see you talking about your cousin again I am going to be very upset
While you have been repeating over and over, for years on a Japanese image board, how ZA is Eden's garden and you would like to live there, I did exactly that in a country where you don't meet death daily.
This thread is not about ZA
en.wikipedia.org
LMAO shut the fuck up broke ass
tinder location spoofing lmao, it bloomed from that somehow
mauritians are pretty, she basically looked indian except she had green eyes
np
>This thread is not about ZA
It is mentioned in OP
>While you have been repeating over and over, for years on a Japanese image board, how ZA is Eden's garden and you would like to live there, I did exactly that in a country where you don't meet death daily.
so you're just butthurt that someone thinks SA is better than Indonesia?
nope, I've seen Indonesia on google street view either and even though I must admit it looks quite good for a South Asian country (especially comparing to the Phillipines), it's still very poor as compared to white areas in South Africa.
Infrastructure and maintenance level in SA are far ahead of Indonesia. Yeah, maybe your slums are better than South African slums but why would a white professional care about it? He cares about his own house, his own suburb, the road he drives to work or to the shopping centre on.
Also South Africa has better climate.
I'm a white professional, and I don't want to get car-jacked. I don't care about potholes in the road.
I figured the list meant that the conditions were improving, which would mean it'd be pretty hard for a developed nation to be considered "highly developing".
Why the american are such a assholes retarded?
what did he mean by this? why are our assholes retarded? diet i think
>and I don't want to get car-jacked.
Why would you, if you live in a gated community behind an electric fence?
>I don't care about potholes in the road.
Well, so you just don't care if you live in first or third world conditions then, that's your choice but it's not what we're talking about.
You know why
>rich and still a murderous hellscape
This is worse you brainlet, at least shithole countries have the excuse that they are a shithole, you have nothing.
i know why what? i wasn't asking a why question, i was asking a what question
you ever been here? literally like 90% of our homicides are black on black, IN black areas, away from where any white people live
so yes this is an "american" problem but tourists and any american posting here does not deal with this sort of shit. i have literally never heard gunshots in my life outside of a shooting range, ever
Because up until recently 90% of the population was uneducated and lived in slums
>like 90% of our homicides are black on black, IN black areas, away from where any white people live
We all know thats not true at ALL
Mauritius is a proper success story. Gabon has oil and Botswana has diamonds and these resources push them higher than the level of development.
huh...
You comparing small islands to large land masses.
user thats not a percentage
here's a more recent one for you as well
Population of Mauritius is 1.2 million, Gabon is 1.8 million and Botswana is 2.2 million. It's not the land mass you spread your oil or diamond revenue on ... it's the population.
How come that Algeria and Libya are better than South Africa?
Wrong, anything below HDI of 0.900 is a shithole
Its an island they easier to develop as long as have outside connection purely through tourism.
Bostwana is land locked country
Are you an engineer?
Legit thinking that any foreign workers are most likely engineers since I can't see them working outside that industry. Well my dad is an engineer and he befriends with many foreign engineers though.
>These African countries will surpass us in hdi within my lifetime
It's not their defining characteristic. Botswana is a diamond country.
congratulations Gabon and Botswana!
good effort SA
>Seychelles
>Mauritius
>Algeria
Why are they so high compared to other African countries?
>3 north african countries
>4 BLACK countries
Wh*toids eternally BTFO

2 islands
1 is supported by the french.
Botswana and Gon have amways been kindabrich comparrd to other africans countries. Not really surprising
>Lybia
Which part of it?
The clitoris part of Lyabia.
en.wikipedia.org
>Area • Total 581,730 km2
>Population
>• 2016 estimate 2,250,260[2] (145th)
>• 2011 census 1,914,228[3
>• Density 3.7/km2 (9.6/sq mi)
so It's a small country, rapidly growing, mostly empty
>GDP (PPP) 2018 estimate
>• Per capita $18,843[4]
hey not bad, good for them
>GDP (nominal) 2018 estimate
>• Per capita $8,443[4]
oh
IIRC high GDP PPP compared to nominal GDP basically means domestic goods and services are cheap but imports are expensive. The solution would be increase exports and getting hard currency, strengthening the local currency, allowing more imports.
Washing each others shirts only goes so far.
>Currency Botswana pula (BWP)
hehheh, in Finnish "pula" means shortage, scarcity, trouble
olla pulassa = to be in trouble
olla pulaa jostakin = to have shortage of something
you got told, filthy piece of fucking yank shit
When looking at flags, remember:
Botswana is black, and...
>Hight HDI
>Libya
That's why i don't really believe in this bullshit
I wonder where would Somalia rank had we been evaluated, last place or just before last place
