      iterally all studies about this make you wrong

      You misunderstand, we live in a world that’s capable of abundance. Go tell people in Nigeria that they have a world of abundance and see how they react; because they do not have an abundance of anything.

        that would be arguing that i am speaking as if everybody’s needs have been met NOW which I am not saying. Don’t deliberately misinterpret my comment. Don’t pretend that part of why Nigerians don’t have abundance is not imperialist colonialism 2.0 wrapped in the flag of freedom, democracy and development.

          But that’s exactly what a world of abundance means.

          Having an over abundance in one part of the world and scarcity in another isn’t a world of abundance.

            Having an over abundance in one part pf the world and scarcity in another isn’t a world of abundance.

            You’re so close to realizing wherever humans settled had enough to sustain civilization. It’s the plundering, wars, genocides, privatization of national respurces that cause the scarcity.

              You do understand that “had” is past tense, meaning that we do not currently have it, right?

                and why do you think that is? Not plundering of resources and redistribution of them upwards?

                  That’s a deep hole and I don’t know if you’ll appreciate it’s darkness.
