Why/how certain 3rd world countries were deliberately set up to fail

[Franctoshi]

Western people are hypocrites, they got bias when it comes to the life/policies made in other countries and the same thing happens in their country, they will have a different opinion.

Poor countries are struggling to survive but they got all the resources so some found a way to control their political leaders and manages to steal all the resources as they can.

What you is what's happening, but I do not totally blame the west, but I blame those 3rd world countries that left themselves to be used by the west, especially those corrupt leaders, No one will build your home for you, and they shouldn't rely on the West to fix their problems, because I don't see reason why they haven't realized what is going and start to fight it and change the system and rewrite the history. Many of these countries are even blessed natural resources that can help transform their country to any level that they want.

It's even funny that we're still talking about the west being the reason why we're where we are even when most of the third world country have gained independence and have supposedly been running Thier lives for the past 30 years or even more. If the west has set up a system you're not comfortable with, what happens to changing it? We've had succession of leaders from time past till present day that have travelled far and wide and yet they can't come up with policies that will help strengthen their country and help strengthen Thier independence.

The issue with Thier world country has always been that they fear to take up responsibility and truly leave as an independent entity. The moment they are able to do that, it will fix everything for them. There's no point putting any blame on another nation.

"The West" has historically destabilized other countries and allowed the establishment to exploit resources for the profit of a few elites.
A new form of colonialism.

Read The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Kline.

In the past these actions were classified and kept secret, it's all out in the open now but it's taking us people some time to catch on.

Children mine minerals for our phones so mega corporations can continue to reap crazy profits with cheap labor.
The true irony is that it destabilizes countries and creates migration issues while the tax payers also pay.
So politicians scapegoat migrants and we applaud the billionaire class.  

I hope we get this taken care of in my lifetime... but I'm thinking humanity is in for a big fight before that happens :-/

The truth is that history has alot of cases where powerful countries and big companies take advantages of weaker places, especially when it comes to resources. But let's know that changes don't just come from putting blames, instead it comes from how we demand for  better laws, responsible leaders and fair trade. Okay of people begin asking questions on where things do come from, how workers are being treated and hold both companies and leaders accountable, the pressure will build things to change. The fight or struggle isn't only external but begins with actions and awareness from the ordinary people as well.

Blame only shifts attention away from 'the' exploitative system that always works against general humanity.
If we look to history as lessons, we learn.

I think there has been a growing global revolution but when you are in it, it doesn't feel like the stories they call "history".
Our leaders everywhere are failing us right now.

If you're from an underdeveloped country and think that you're truly independent then you're still living in fantacies because the leaders of your countries are being controlled by one or more powerful western powers and even if you know as an Individual there is nothing you can do about it. Direct slavery is no longer fashionable so they plant leaders that they control and be exploiting their natural resources while the majority of the citizens remain impoverished.

You can imagine a president in his 90s still winning election in his country and not as if his country is industrialized and developed, clearly the reason why he's still in power is because he is serving his masters well, it doesn't matter if he's weak and not capable of leading a country. There are presidents in Africa, that have spent decades in power and their countries are still backward, it doesn't matter if elections are held they will still win with the influence those that are benefiting illegally from their continued stay in office.
