I didn't notice, good catch. I wonder if it is an aliasing/resolution issue.

Not sure what you are trying to say. Anyways, we are seeing progress in science and technology happening again because of the availability of capital and investments.

Biden never had a problem with the mass slaughter of women and children. Here's him in 1982:

Begin said Biden “rose and delivered a very impassioned speech” defending the invasion. Begin said he was shocked at how passionately Biden supported Israel’s invasion when Biden “said he would go even further than Israel, adding that he’d forcefully fend off anyone who sought to invade his country, even if that meant killing women or children.” Begin said, “I disassociated myself from these remarks,” adding: “I said to him: No, sir; attention must be paid. According to our values, it is forbidden to hurt women and children, even in war. Sometimes there are casualties among the civilian population as well. But it is forbidden to aspire to this. This is a yardstick of human civilization, not to hurt civilians.” The comments were striking from Begin, who had been notorious as a leader of the Irgun, a militant group that carried out some of the worst acts of ethnic cleansing accompanying the creation of the state of Israel, including the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre.

The US is also the biggest consumer ahead of China.

No one minds you voting for Biden believe it or not. We do mind being demonized and straw-personed for not voting for him.

Yet more progressive than many US states on things like abortion and divorce.

Haaretz May 26, 2019: Alabama, Iran, or Saudi Arabia? We Checked Where Abortion Laws Are Better for Women.

Sherine Hamdy, a professor of Muslim bioethics at the University of California, Irvine, notes that for Muslim women, the U.S. anti-abortion trends are worrying not only because they harm women’s rights to reproductive agency, but also because they diminish religious freedoms, since Muslim religious ethics make a strong case for women’s well-being taking priority over that of the fetus. [emphasis mine]

The Center for American Progress JUL 8, 2022: Authoritarian Regimes Have More Progressive Abortion Policies Than Some U.S. States.

This means that Americans in states that effectively outlaw abortion, including Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, will have fewer human rights protections than those in Iran or Saudi Arabia—countries that are often vilified by politicians across the ideological spectrum for their treatment of women. Iran, for example, allows abortion in cases of fetal impairment, and Saudi Arabia allows for abortion when the health of a patient is at risk—including mental health, which can function to allow for abortion in cases of rape or incest—contrary to only the narrow “life” or “medical emergency” exceptions that are now increasingly common in state bans in the United States.

A material analysis explains it. The Middle East gradually became poorer and the local governments couldn't support and promote science anymore. Why they became poorer? Perhaps European colonialism had something to do with it, as it circumvented Middle Eastern trade routes.

The massacres Italians committed in Libya and Ethiopia were the model that inspired Nazi Germany.

This is an absurd lie. The only country that has maintained this mess for so long is the US with the scam it called the Peace Process.
