I agree!
The fact that exclusively due to trade the global poverty level has decreased from 45% (people living with less than 2$ppp) to less than 5% in 35 years is not really relevant because who cares about those couple of millions brown people.
What is important is to keep the ideological Leftist imperative intact, which means that trade is bad because it smells somewhat like Capitalism and that's certainly bad because someone said it is!!!!!



This is not at all the opinion of some non-poor, sheltered Westerner who can not possibly fathom the material reality of a 40% decline in global poverty. It is not the opinion of someone who prefers outdated leftist ideology to facts and, by virtue of disconnected echo-chamber dogmatism, belongs to the groups responsible for the death of Western liberalism and leftism.
nono, not at all

I'm curious how this nets out with population growth. Like if there used to be 2 billion people in poverty, but now there's beena 40% decline, only at the same time the population doubled... so... in reality there's just as much suffering as before just less *on average*.

This is a half assed question/theory not an opinion.
