Anybody interested in what’s happening in Haiti should read these two books:

Timothy Schwartz is an Anthropology PhD who has spent years living and working in Haiti for USAid and various NGOs. TLDR: Haiti isn’t in fantastic shape but charity organizations dump out massive amounts of bullshit about the country in order to keep the donations rolling in - and only a tiny fraction of that donated money actually ends up in Haiti helping people.
If you want to become a billionaire you go into military profiteering. If you want to be a billionaire and be admired for your supposed moral superiority, you go into charity. We don’t call it the humanitarian industrial complex for no reason.
One could say her facts are… sussy
Why is it allowed that those people simply form their own bullshit realities?
Because Daddy Elon ‘free speech absolutist’ Musk owns their platform.
Free speech isn’t a bad thing, people shouldn’t be censored for being fucking morons especially a tweet like this. It’s a little scary how the left/progressives have done a complete 180 on free speech in the last like, 10 years.
I always though the twitter community fact check was a very good control on tweets like this though, someone says something dumb and you get a direct community-voted response attached to the bottom of it. Resulted in some hilarious owns.
It isn’t “censorship” to not wanna listen to bullshit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The last 10 years people who engage in hate speech have started crying censorship instead of fucking off, but yeah community response is good. The problem becomes a private corp deciding and prioritizing visibility of some engagement over other engagement, basically feeding people propaganda instead of real discussions.
And if it wasn’t for the fact that Twitter boosts the idiots and smacks down people for rebuttals, I’d agree. For the free speech absolutism to work, it needs to be absolute, not “free speech” being “things the idiot in chief agrees with”
What do you mean by “the left/progressives have done a complete 180 on free speech in the last like, 10 years.”?
These tweets are from October 2016. Elon sucks but this isn’t a new problem. Twitter has been a shithole for a long time.
Greta Van Idiot
Well she will remember that
Will she learn from it though 🤔
She will remember that she should learn from it ;)
And the very next story on my timeline is…
So glad Greta stays at X.
To be fair, I’m pretty sure much of the shantytowns in Haiti could be described as having shacks. It’s a very depressing situation there with no easy solutions.
Shantytowns exist, but do most people in Haiti live in them? Or is that just the perception because news media makes more money portraying it that way?
At least on German Wikipedia it says that 58.5 % of the population in Haiti live below the relative (!) poverty line. Over two thirds of the people at employable age are said to not have a regular job. More than half are malnourished.
Is the overall consensus in the USA that the situation in Haiti is much better than what is written on Wikipedia?
No. Not at all. But the tweet is about living in TENTS. That’s how the discussion started.
Most people in Haiti do not live in tents, but most do live in poverty, most are in dire situations and it is horrendous that we mostly ignore the situation.
The original tweet said “tents, shacks, or on the street”, and the rebuttal just said “tents”… Sounds like a miscommunication.
America has tent cities too, just saying.
Fox is a propaganda machine.
Why do idiot white, blonde news anchor women and idiot white blonde politician women always look the fucking same to me? And I’m white, so yeah.
