I guess the Deprogram guys are the Three Stooges now? But the joke doesn’t really work
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
This is true, but the complication with developing countries (and I believe this is what the person you’re replying to was implicating without elaborating) is that more often than not, these countries also take on foreign loans, usually denominated in dollar.
If you take on a huge sum of dollar debt, this effectively limits the fiscal space of countries even with monetary sovereignty, because institutions like IMF will often impose demands like austerity measures (e.g. “cut back fuel and electricity subsidies”) to limit net public spending. You don’t follow the rules, you don’t get the loan, and your people starve.
