    Not directly, perhaps, but that’s how neocolonialism works.

    Most of that is the US & UK: sanctions, supporting coups, bombings. No country needs to take IMF loans. As sovereign nations, they don’t need to use a foreign regulated currency & could adopt their own.

    What does Norway have to do with this: guilt by broad association with western nations?

    My argument is that these countries aren’t allowed to industrialize in their own terms with their own companies.

    Again, what does Norway have to do with this? Where is their exploitation?

    It seems like you’re arguing they shouldn’t trade with Africa much like an economic sanction. I’m sure that’d turn out great for Africans.

    This is some unclear shit. I think you need to properly define exploitation & identify where Norway’s international economic relations fit that definition.

    Otherwise, it seems your criticism amounts to “Norway’s developed economy is doing better than economies of other countries they trade with”, which doesn’t necessarily mean they’re exploiting other countries.

    In the international market, therefore, one hour of German/French/Norwegian work is exchanged often for tens of hours of work from India, or Congo, or Mexico.

    Explain where the exploitation comes from.

    • Is the argument here that developed goods are worth more on the market than their raw materials & shouldn’t be?
    • Or that a unit of time of more skilled labor to develop those goods from raw materials should earn the same as less skilled labor, so the disparities in their market value is exploitation? If they could earn the same with less skill, then why bother developing skill?
    • It’s not like they govern the foreign countries of international businesses they trade with for raw materials. Is your argument that they shouldn’t trade internationally for raw materials?

  • Needs text alternative.

    Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative:

    • usability
      • we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
      • text search is unavailable
      • the system can’t
        • reflow text to varied screen sizes
        • vary presentation (size, contrast)
        • vary modality (audio, braille)
    • accessibility
      • lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
      • some users can’t read this due to lack of alt text
      • users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
      • systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
    • searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
    • fault tolerance: no text fallback if
      • image breaks
      • image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

    Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

    another case of willful ignorance of meanings of words & political science

    not providing alt text is right wing
