Not sure what this means, if anything but it occurred to me that similar to as in 1984, we might have a world situation where the casualties of war by megastates are used to elicit emotional responses in the public that are somehow useful to propagandists to manipulate public opinion. The history of Africa in the 20th century is of course tragic but also I think not properly represented in the mainstream media, as we are led to believe that the famine and devastation in Africa is due to some condition of the natural world, where clearly it is at least war that is primarily responsible for the suffering in Africa.

Africa has also changed a lot in the past 10 years, it's got a lot richer in a few larger countries like Nigeria or Kenya so this narrative might be changing.

Respect to any Africans out there who might be reading this, there's lots of places I want to visit in Africa.
