Saw this guys blog floating around lefty spaces and he’s an ultra these days attacking China for “imperialism” in Mozambique (he’s Kenyan). Look him up on LinkedIn and he’s a radlib green imperialist who just really fucking hates a China, obvious opportunist and grifter who pretends to be a ultra anti-imperialist third worldist now when he was a saying the neoliberal nonsense a couple years back - the only thing that has stayed consistent is his hatred of China.

Remember folks, to solve traffic we have to innovate entrepreneurial solutions like hyperloops and donkeys. None of that icky polluting crap like trains and buses.

African governments have been telling us this shit for years because they don't want to build actual infrastructure.

"The solution to transport is you all need to walk and ride mules more" - no do your fucking job and improve the transport networks.
