Hey Sup Forums I have an idea, lets use Google Maps to expose ourselves to parts of the world we aren't familiar with and lets see how global citizens deal with problems in their local community.
For example here is an average street scene from the thriving modern metropolis known as Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.
Other urls found in this thread:
This place is really going to be a superpower in the coming years just watch.
But I can't help but notice there is always water on the streets. No doubt this is the fault of the public sector not designing the sewers properly.
If I was a shopkeeper I would be unhappy as my patrons might not be able to get to my shop and purchase my wares.
How will the free market respond to this?
Ah the free market finds a way. Should the sewers overflow all I would need to do is find Mahmudasir: The friendly neighborhood brick man. He is sure to help me out.
We negotiate a price that is agreeable to both of us for him to deal with my problem. And off he goes!
Muahmudasir uses his expert knowledge and locally sourced sustainable bricks to craft a stepping stone bridge for my customers to gain access to my shop.
Thanks Mahmudasir! The entire community rejoices for yet another triumph of the free market.
You're not bad for an Aussie.
Thank you dear friend, that is much like the attitude of our dear friends, the Nigerians. Just have a look at the positivity beaming out of the scene here from an average street in Lagos, the capital of Nigeria.

Nice ruse attempt
Bangladesh is a muslim shithole
muslim majority and also the acid-throwing-face-attack capital of earth
No ruse my companion from the British Isles, just like there are no ruses here in a simple job advertisement found on the streets of Lagos.
This is a prime example of an honest days work providing security, something that every human being needs, what a noble pursuit.
Even nobler is the fact that there is no middle man in this, no greedy government official standing in the way between a working man and his employer. Yet again in the heart of Africa's largest and most prosperous economy, the free market wins again.

Lets now travel to Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, here we can clearly see the proud spirit of Carthage still goes strong here. A noble and refined street scene here from the borders of the Mediterranean. I wonder what sort of local industry we can find here? Lets go for a walk my dear colleague.
The water could be from rains or monsoons.
all these shitty places look sorta comfy in a strange way
Well that didn't take us long, a children's bicycle shop owned by the local candidate for the Libertarian party; Hakmesh Mabbaour!
The only thing he loves more than freedom is children's laugher.
As you can plainly see, the laughter of not just children, but every citizen of Tunis is heard around the clock on this paradise of the North Sahara. Oh how lovely.
Oh my word! Look what is in the very next shop over! Another children's bicycle shop with a larger range and selection (and probably competitive prices as well).
Hakmesh looks like you've got some competition, you aren't the only one who loves the free market and children's laugher.
Looks like someone will need to find a way to compete in this saturated market otherwise Hakmesh's children will starve to death in this utopia on Earth with no social safety net.
If Hakmesh's bicycles don't sell maybe he can write a sitcom about his experiences dealing with his business competitor; Jabbournash Mahmanmharoor and his quirky bicycle related antics. No doubt it will be a hit on Tunisian TV and Hakmesh can yet again make a living from Children's laughter.
Now let us travel once again, this time to the fairytale town of Binbaşıeminbey Bucağı on the Turkish Armenian border.
As you can see this village is where all the locals from the province come to have a good time.
This place is very well known for its local economy, aside from producing all manner of agricultural goods, the village is also a prime spot for burials.
You can't just bury your beloved relatives anywhere in this laissez-faire paradise, premium dollar gets premium resting places for eternity.
Here is the very elusive Ardahan boutique cemetery. Made even more exclusive by the yearly payment policy, if you don't pay up, looks like grandma will have to find a new place to rest until judgment day.
But this place is most well known for the award winning local architect: Boris Kaplanman. Here we have one of his buildings made for the local mechanic.
While commonly attributed to the ecological-modernist movement Boris likes to avoid labels and rather prefers to design each one of his buildings for the inhabitant, and their children for at least 8 generations.
The New Yorker described his work as;
'The Frank Lloyd Wright of the Caucasus who admittedly is more resourceful, down to earth and probably beats his wife for inspiration and clarity, something that we hope more American builders would follow in his footsteps'.
This could be the first time I have agreed with those commie journalists.
please continue
I would be more than happy to my dear serpentine friend.
Here we are now in the Jewel of the Andes, La Paz. Much like Columbus we have traveled to the new world for the sole purpose of furthering humanity and understanding.
The view from here is beautiful and the houses match that. Many years ago all the inhabitants of La Paz made an agreement to build and decorate all of their homes identically; with unpainted brickwork to reflect how tight knit the local community is.
They also agreed to only partially complete all of their homes to be more exposed to the elements, much like our lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on his journeys through the holy lands.
What a wholesome place we have stumbled upon. Lets look around.
that looks like a favella made of British council houses
Well shove a screwdriver up my urethra and call me Emil, look who we found! Its the local conceptual artist Jose Paraguteriesbarracuda!
La Paz is known for being a hub of intellectualism and learning. Jose is famous around these parts, and in universities around the world.
He has been described by the chair of the Mensa Society as; "A modern day Diogenes of Sinope, he has taken ancient Greek thought to its natural conclusion with his fractured and insightful view on modern life, truly he is an embodiment of the new Renaissance Man'
When Jose heard of this description he joyfully remarked 'Que¿'. Truly a man of learning and considerable wit.
Here we see Jose, like Diogenes exercising philosophy on the street. He is known to sit in this broken down car for hours, asking passerbys to give him a push, although knowing that it is pointless. The locals have warmed to his joyful sense of humour and wonder what performance art he will create for them next.
Down the road we see another local with a passion for learning. It is Enrique Gengorio and his Magical Mobile Learning Emporium.
Enrique takes his magical school bus around La Paz and fills it with books. The sound of his broken crank shaft and rusted gearbox brings all the neighborhood children running gleefully towards his bus when it rolls around.
Enrique is known for working closely with children and does not charge for his services. He was quoted by Time magazine as saying;
'It is not merely enough for me to gain these children's trust and in turn molest them, I must also teach them something, primarily being how cruel the world can be.'
What a spellbinding place of wisdom La Paz turned out to be. But now I must be off again.
To those in this thread, give me a suggestion as to which country should we travel to next?
This thread is awesome.
Great thread
im very grateful for your time. Truly such a digital tour through the globe is a marvellous venture.
Praise the free market
Now my fellow travelers we find ourselves in the bustling town on the banks of the Amazon river deep in the heart of Brazil: the famous river city Santarem!
These people, much like all who subscribe to free market ideology understand their place in the ecosystem. They care for the river and the river cares for them. Their livelihood depends on the health of the river, and as we can see, the Amazon is as fit as fiddle.
But Santarem is a city of the 21st century as I came to discover.
how about travelling to Borats birthplace or somewhere near there?
>Life is sheet
Eh mon dis pos be puttin mah sides into de orbit, ya dig?
I'm just posting to tell the OP that I like his thread. Looks like he put a lot of work in to it and I'm finding it entertaining. Thanks OP.
On my wanderings through the quaint streets of Santarem I was surprised as I did not see and meet as many of the locals as I had previously encountered in other parts of the whole.
Where was everyone? Was everyone having a siesta? But that would lessen productivity! Or worse was everyone just milling about at home and not being prime producers! I couldn't believe that! The humble people of Santarem were an industrious peoples known the world over.
Then it dawned on me where everyone was. Inside their homes. Because Santarem is a thriving e-commerce hub. The primary employer in Santarem is Internet based commerce!
My goodness this surely is a case example of the 21st century and progress.
Venezuela plz
Thats right, the majority of people in Santarem work from their homes, which local service providers have connected with fibre optic wires to give them high speeds to trade shares and mine bitcoins. Who else was going to give these locals high speed internet connections? The government? HAHAHAHH Thats funny. Humour is a good trait, never lose that my dear friend.
But its not all just ones and zeros. I met a remarkable local who runs a bicycle shop here in Santarem, they say the world is a small place and guess who I discovered is this small business's supplier?
Thats right it was Hakmesh from Tunis that we met here !!
Pabluo and Hakmesh met on a MSN chatroom back in the 90s and have been business partners ever since. What a small world, what a wonderful world.
>state of pará

It's fun to do on a Vive but complicated to set up (at least compared to shit posting). Also, they just dropped the Vive another $100. Wish more of you assholes would buy one so more shekels for game development.
Sure thing my beloved fellow aficionado of world culture. I know just the place to go. It is commonly known as 'The happiest place on Earth', thats right, we're going to Orsk!
OP thinks this is an indictment of capitalism, when it's actually just an indictment of third world niggers.
>sorta comfy in a "eyeballs burning from the ammonia and feces smells constantly wafting from the designated shitting streets" way.
ftfy
As we all know Orsk was once part of the cancerous Soviet Union which followed an ideology much like our beloved Free Market, except it was actually nothing like it and thats why it failed spectacularly.
Lets look around at the decay caused by the impact of Marxism and more importantly how these brave new entrepreneurs are pulling themselves up by their prostate straps and getting the job done.
>this entire thread
I feel so culturally enriched!

Bitch if I wanted to play games where I had to move around I'd fucking go outside.
Wake me when they invent holodecks and then we'll talk. Until then I'm not paying over a grand for a vive and a new graphics card just to unlock a new way to watch porn.
But the peoples of this part of the world are a resourceful type, we all know the old saying 'where there is opportunity, there are Orskians'.
Here we see an example of that. You can judge a city's prosperity by the number of cranes that dot the skyline. Orsk is no exception. This is shown on a local level by the local crane supplier Dmitry Blograov.
He saw that the Orsk pie was getting bigger, so he wanted a piece of that pie. Some old relics of the Soviet Union tried to stop Dmitry from getting his hands on his neighbor's cranes. Dmtiry wanted them, and Dmitry and his friends were bigger and more prone to violent aggressive outbursts than the neighbor and the local officials. So who got to keep the cranes? Dmitry did thats who! Go team Dmitry!
I started growing rather homesick I must admit for the comely city of Lagos, which feels like a village which grew large, but never forgot its humble beginnings.
We can see that here in one of the more affluent neighborhoods of Lagos. This part of town is home to the CEOs of Nigeria. Sadly this wealth has caused some resentment, and rather than work hard and become CEOs themselves, some unscrupulous souls will attempt to enter the homes of the Nigerian elite and try to take their things!
Fear not because simple wire that is barbed scares away these ruffians. In this part of the world old pagan beliefs still hold firm, this barbed wire confuses these vagrants as to them it seems like a Möbius strip. It scares them as the cannot discern how many sides this wire has, in how many dimensions does it exist?? It gives their brains something akin to a blue error screen and off they go!
However this demand for barbed wire has created a fluctuation in the market (Supply, and demand? Who would have thought am I right). The invisible hand of the market directs goods and services where they need to go.
For those middle managers and up and coming bankers barbed wire is sadly a luxury that many cannot afford. But fear not the market finds an alternative and the vendors of broken glass find their shattered bottles are selling like hot cakes.
No one is complaining about these security measures of course, because as we all know, if you can't defend it, you don't deserve it.
Oh don't worry my dear Slavic friend I haven't forgotten about you. I was considering going back to South America but then I realised for some reason I haven't been Europe yet. Surely I can comment on some things in your dear home country right?
Off to Slovenia I go!
So here I am and, well, everything seems to be fine I guess. Like, the market seems to be working fine. Not really much to comment on here.
Maybe I should go to the suburbs. I'm sure theres something I can say about the place there.
moar lagos
So here I am in the suburbs and it all...looks pretty comfy actually.
I'm finding it hard to comment on what I'm finding here in Europe.
Yeah I think I might head out to the Slovenian country, yeah there I am sure to find something to tell some story about. Off I go to the backwaters of Slovenia!
So here I am out in the Slovenian pridelands, this is the end of the line. What can I comment on here?
There is some hard working guy, looks like hes preparing for the winter, ok cool, he has foresight and planning. His place seems very well kept and maintained, there is a sense of pride about the result of the labor of his back and the sweat of his brow. His neighbors seem to respect his property and probably co-operate when the hard winters come since they must be pretty self-reliant out here.
Umm yeah, I'm struggling to find something to comment on here in the 1st world. I don't like traveling here.
Back to the 3rd world for me!
You say there are no niggers in middle America? Well, I think the patrons of this former "Royalty Learning Academy" where the children were treated like KANGZ would beg to differ.
How the fuck did they get a Jewgle car through there?
Sure thing friend, in the words of the wise pastor Mulu'Muhdik:
A-10 Warthog
Not our fault niggers and muds are to stupid to sustain a post neolithic society
>and also the acid-throwing-face-attack capital of earth
I thought that was the UK?
Fuck you this is all shit
Europe is and always has been the birth place of homo sapiens sapiens(aka white people) and so of sciences and civilization.
Thet have wee mopeds with cameras as well
I feel like a stroll in the country, fresh air does one well afterall, lets go explore the rich natural landscape of Ghana.
Here yet again we can see how in touch the locals are with nature. They prefer to use locally sourced, organic materials that lowers fossil fuel emissions since rather than carting the building supplies of their homes over vast distances, they have ingeniously sourced the raw material of their home, from literally the ground that their home will stand on.
Truly innovation at its finest.
>pulling themselves up by their prostate straps
This thread is delightful.
Here's how they shitpost to Sup Forums in Ecuador.
Oh what a treat! I have come across 4 time Africa MotorX champion GibeDat.
Here he is training for his upcoming race which he hopes will quality him for the very prestigious Ghana open where he may for the first time have a chance to race on asphalt.
Gibe had a very rough upbringing, he never really knew his father. His father was a man who worked hard to provide a comfortable life for his family, but never really had one himself. Long hours at the local insurance office consumed his life, he was the top locust and polio insurance salesman in all of Tamale region, but it never made him happy.
Gibe remembers strongly the only time he had ever seen his father cry, it was Christmas 2006 where the family gathered under the Baobab tree and wished each other long lives to live to hopefully the age of 30.
Gibe received what he had always wanted: An Xbox 360 with Britney Spear's Dance Dance Revolution. Gibe was so happy, he turned to his father who was shedding a single tear.
It was a magical moment, but it only lasted for a short time as the family quickly realised that it was not a tear of joy. Gibe's father was having a stroke caused by an infection from a Tsetse fly.
As his father convulsed he could have sworn that he heard him garbling through a foamy mouth for Gibe to become a MotorX champion. So after beating Dance Dance revolution and unlocking all the achievement points Gibe traded the game for a motor bike at the local market. And the rest is history.
I like your protected thread OP, may I lurk?
Of course you may dear friend, I can tell that you are a gentleman who accepts all worldviews and peoples as equals to yourself. Come along the Sup Forums world tour!
Here I have found myself in Mongolia for their highly acclaimed LGBTQI Mardi Gras festival. Oh what luck, everyone in town is so excited that they have begun painting their homes and business with homosexual icons such as Winne the Pooh and Spiderman.
Of course in a free market paradise such as Mongolia there is no such thing as meddlesome copyright and thus these humble hardworking peoples can use whatever iconography they want to push their progressive agenda. You know the old saying 'There are no bigots in Mongolia'
Lets have a look around.
As you can see Google has thrown its full weight behind the Bi-Monthly Gay Pride Parade here in Ulaanbaatar and shown support by mounting a giant dildo to the google car. So brave.
Thank you good sir. I once had the pleasure of meeting your flags country and partook of their mixed soda and alcohol beverages. I long to taste them again. I remain in a indescribable awe for where we will travel with you today. Godspeed.
Here we have Biskek, the jewel of Kyrgstan. The locals are of a humble and modest nature, forgoing indulgent luxuries such as irrigation and sanitation for a simple and rewarding life, they are much like Hobbits in that respect.
The roads are wide enough for armored personnel carriers to navigate without splashing mud on local shopkeeper's corrugated iron shacks, and sunlight beams into them through holes made by small arms fire in a bygone era, what a piece of history to tell your children about!
But no trip to Biskek is complete without a visit to Yakov Bysnev's yam shack. Radiation free since 2004, Yakov claims the secret to his large yams is "deep in the soil". The UN have investigated claims that Yakov has buried Uzbek children beneath his crops as fertiliser, but Yakov's hard work and modified wood chipper have made him the shining star of Biskek's busting agricultural industry.
Ah, and here of course is the Biskek Institute of Education. Originally established during the Cold War to re-educate political dissidents, the institute has upheld these values against all odds and UN resolutions. The school also offers accommodation, with a 12-bed, 1 room dormitory for those wishing to becoming valued members of this burgeoning metropolis. In the distance we can see Oleg Vitold driving the Biskek Institute's student van. Oleg is responsible for picking up local students who have tried to remove their ankle bracelets during the night and ensuring they arrive on time for their first classes. A former veterinary surgeon, Oleg also serves as the school's Medical Doctor, truly a man of many talents.
But he is merely a common citizen of Bishkek, multi-talented as the economy is in such a hustling, dynamic state that the locals will often have as many has 7 different jobs in differing industries in the space of a year with some of the jobs actually paying them for their labor.
