Why was Eddy working there? He seemed like a decently smart enough person to do better than that. Not to mention his muiltilingual skills.

Money?

Being a fucking errand boy in an african shithole pays well?

He probably works for the chinks, so he goes where they tell him to go. I agree though he could do better he sounds like an okay man.

He wasn't an errand boy. He was a translator. I'm pretty sure there's not a lot of Congolese nignogs who speak fucking Chinese. He probably got paid well.

>You'll never watch kinos with eddy
>you'll never play pranks with eddy on eddy's chink boss

Just kill me

He was working as a translator for an international company. That's a pretty good job desu senpai.

What was the name of the documentary again?

Rush Hour 4

empire of dust

Empire of dust

He was literally the only person that did his job

China are ravaging all of Africa at the moment. The Chinese probably pay big money for someone that can translate from Mandarin to English and French.

Yeah and it pisses me off that his manlet boss gave him shit instead og giving it to the other lazy idiots.

How did he actually learn Mandarin?
Did he do an exchange in his teens?
Or did he learn on site/working with Chinese dudes?

Cheers

I think he spoke some tribal language (like Swahili or something) too at one point.

I think he says at the very beginning that he was born in China

Empire building in the 21st century desu

I like the part when eddy is shown eating alone, isolated from both the chinese, and the african workers
>tfw too smart for the africans but too black for the chinese

Imagine what's it's like to be him. Being actually competent negro, but having to listen to some chink berating you and your race. And you can't even do anything about it, because you know that the only way you can earn money is to shut up and bear with it. A fucking nightmare if you ask me.

Pretty sure Eddy knows that negros are dumb as fuck in general.

>but too black for the chinese
More like too "having a soul" for the chinese

Pair that with the fact that about half the things your foreman is saying are true. All the workers are lazy illiterates, Eddy says so himself

>lazy illiterates
they're chill dudes. why should they work like robots for shit pay?

Shut up and do your job. Be glad someone offered you it, otherwise you would have nothing. And if you can't handle this job find another second best option. The fact that he's black is irrelevant. Why is every guy such a fucking socialist pussy these days? Be a man, shut up and do the work you are being paid for or fuck off.

>t. lazy illiterate

The pay is shit because they are shit workers.

case and point:

Not everything is about money you know.

working shit jobs in order to feed yourself is all and solely about money, user

It's a form of social protest to do work poorly when you aren't compensated properly. The chinks are just exploiting them, those guys are heroes.

This only works in places where there's a lot of shit a person can buy/do if they have money.

Empire of Dust is a documentary about chinese corporations operating in africa.

If he was paid in Chinese money instead of cow pies or whatever the fuck they use for money in the Congo then he was probably doing pretty well for himself

To be fair, it is impossible to compensate people properly in africa, as proper compensation would mean paying people in a species of currency that could translate to some actual, meaningful improvements in quality of life.

The gasoline people were stealing from trucks was worth more than the money they were being paid for a week or more of work.

>this slave mentality

>Yeah and it pisses me off that his manlet boss gave him shit instead og giving it to the other lazy idiots.

seems like hes the only one smart enough to understand the deeper implications of what hes saying,

All of you limp-wristed faggots like to act so tough and morally strong on here and it makes me laugh.
>they're shit workers so they get shit pay
>makes sense yeah you should be a fuckin robot if you want what your time's worth fuck logic bro lol
>if you want good pay how about you do your fuckin job and work
>they're not chill dudes they're SHIT WORKERS they're SHIT
Oh yeah like you'd be any better in your fucking smug anime T-shirt. This site is infested with people who have the 60s ideology that you work hard and shut out your feelings when the same people are voluntarily giving in to their lazy feelings by willingly spending their time on here

I know I'm lazy and not cut out to be a jack of all trades, but it's hilarious when Empire of Dust comes up because the faggots who like to pretend they're so hard working and better than Eddy and his workers are straight up hilarious.
>I WORK HARD IM A HARD WORKER IM A MAAAAN
Yeah okay dude

Africans don't have a work culture.

I remember reading about this African guy who went to study in the US. He was amazed at how Americans don't spend much time with their families or friends. Based on that, it's likely that the Western idea of a 'full time' job causes a lot of social friction in Africa, leading to the apparent laziness at work.

Also, as soon as he went home he brought his American mindset with him and immediately started doing well.

A job is, you fucking mongoloid. Why the fuck do you think people hire people? It's a mutually beneficial contract offering you money (a.k.a. resources) in exchange for you ACTUALLY WORKING.

Also, you are, by definition, paid EXACTLY what you are worth in a free market. If you are crying about making too little (or "shit" as you call it), that just means you overestimate your own abilities and your position in the job market. A.k.a. you are an easily replaceable dime in a dozen person with no relevant marketable skill sets who thinks he's special and deserves free money (resources) because [?? INSERT REASONS ??].

>I know what I am but what are you?

> chinese paying well

the problem with all of that is, ya know, africa.

Money doesn't mean a whole lot in africa, as there's no infrastructure or much in the way of businesses that would enable people to assign much value to money.

I'm surprised Eddy is being shown sympathy here.

>work for $60,000 a year in a research lab with college debts up to your neck
>contribute to curing cancer and saving millions of lives

>be a spoiled 19 year old given a high paying corporation position through nepotism
>earn hundreds of thousands of dollars while actively disadvantaging the Earth

Wow yeah the free market is so great. :^)

> being this naive

Empire of Dust brings out all the insecure faggots from Sup Forums who like to pretend they work much harder than they actually do and like to pretend they have much more upstanding jobs than they actually do

The same person giving you a lecture on why you should work hard when Empire of Dust comes up more than likely works in retail or some bullshit that doesn't constitute a lecture

Does anyone have that picture or link of the guy who worked in Africa as a humanitarian aid worker or something and got a feel for their culture?

Supply and demand. Trust me, if you aren't being paid then you arent needed.

cancer research is being given a lower priority in the 21st century because people are in a state of surplus.

Im an F1 doctor and i agree with the thread saying the africans are amazingly lazy and workshy. You get the world you deserve.

>being treated like a sub-human is ok, because it pays a bill
He is willing to do that job, but it doesn't make the situation ok. What are arguing about anyway and with such anger to boot it? Do you not agree that it's a nightmarish situation where you have a choice of either lowering yourself to that or being impoverished?

really liked how the film abruptly ends here without any credits or further conclusions. it felt like those 70s new hollywood films that would end suddenly by just cutting to black. (apocalypse now, husbands, MASH), it really makes an impact.

Hey, if You're an underpaid hump then yeah management is not going to get anything done.
You haven't done any underpaid manual labour if you feel that way is what i'm saying

You sound so sure of yourself. Mind telling me what you've done to "deserve" becoming an F1 doctor?

Just for future reference you should probably try to sound a little less snobby. It's good and all to have accomplishments but there are definite reasons why people don't have the same opportunities that you do. To claim otherwise is straight up pompous

> impoverished
Strange because africas population is absolutely exploding. He could join the others doing no work and getting middle class euros on gap years to cook for him.

Cool man, I'll just trust you.

People who put videos of themselves playing Minecraft on YouTube, earning millions, are certainly more needed than scientists and doctors.

the african population is growing due to artificial, outside factors. They're getting free food, so they're breeding more, meaning they need more free food. Because there's insufficient local infrastructure to support such populations. So food aid is taking a situation where millions were starving and making it so hundreds of millions are starving.

Having a lot of kids has nothing to do with being wealthy. On the contrary people in poor countries have more kids because they are the only social safety-net without the social care and things like that.

If you look closely, you'll see that said the exact same thing.

>a high birth rate indicates a high quality of life

lol what? It's the opposite way around.

Come from a genetically intelligent line, worked hard through school and college, with jobs to support. Not getting involved in drink, drugs or smoking and looming after myself. Choosing a good wife so i had all the support i ever needed.

All actually quite easy things and it boggles how most fail to do anything more than get drunk every weekend and tweet about trump.

In order for a middle class to exist, there needs to be a large number of wealthy people that need a middle class to exist.

The population would be sustaining if that were the case. There is a vast excess of resources.

A completely voluntary mutually beneficial contract between two people is the exact opposite of a slave-master relation.
Slaves couldn't negotiate over an offer, do a counter offer, say no to an offer and go somewhere else, start their own independent way of generating resources that allow him to survive.

The problem with you people is not that you don't want to work for a boss (nobody is telling you you should). The problem with you people is that you don't want to work, period. You are so far removed from real life that you think you can just do what you want all day and that you don't have to gather the RESOURCES to SURVIVE in one way or the other.

Nobody is forcing you to get a job or even start your own business if you don't want to, you are completely free to start living in the woods and kill bears and/or catch fish. But you won't. You are just lazy, nothing less nothing more.You want to spend your days doing what you feel like for exactly as long as you feel like doing it and you genuinely unironically think you are entitled to get something for nothing.

You have been living in such a small bubble for so long that you don't understand the most basic level of being a living organism anymore. Survival. And that's NEVER going away.

The documentary is about Africa, not a fucking first-world country.

A high birth rate with no equally high infant mortality absolutely does.

>The population would be sustaining if that were the case
If we were living in the 19th century maybe. Not now, when even africans have access to some kind of healthcare.

The second point doesn't even make sense.

If people were in a state of surplus there would be no reason to care about declining birth rates and our security, two of the biggest issues in Western countries today.

>completely voluntary
it would only be completely voluntary if basic physiological human needs were guaranteed and free of charge

So you killed your own argument three words into your essay.

Is this biggest burn in the history of humanity?

t. Africans are animals but im not racist trust me

The Chinese guy doesn't know his own history. It's like he forgot about things like Cultural Revolution or Great Leap Forward.

Both were more destructive and deadly than anything happening in Congo. Including their brutal civil wars.

Except that's not what you said. Africa's population is exploding and their infant mortality rate is massive as well.

Choosing to keep living is still a choice. So continue with the rest of his argument because your response was nonsense.

>this slave mentality

>"A-Africans never had to evolve their language and culture and everything because they never went without!"
>"w-wait, y-y-you tell me t-they're starving now..? b-but.."
Pick one. Africans are mouth-breathing retards, keep pumping out those 10+ kids and then whine over how you have no food to feed them.

So healthcare + access to plenty of food = impoverished? Damn

The flaw in your cognition that's impairing your ability to understand the current state of reality is you are still thinking in terms of "us" and "them" between groups of people that our ruling masters view as equally worthless.

As why cure cancer when every non-retired person who dies from cancer will have five replacements who will most likely work for less.

Nice dichotomy you've got there. Either shut up and slave away or kill yourself.

neet master race

They use X-shaped rocks as currency.

Eddy's staring into nothingness will always be golden for me, it indicates better than anything how he's fucking tired of hearing his boss' rants, and how he also he knows he can't talk back because while it may sound rude, everything he's saying it's the truth.

>college debts up to your neck
>60k a year
Kek, you fucking moron. How can you not see that that's you're own fault? Who the hell goes into big student debts for a 60k job? Is this what you think an investment is? Did you even look up future wages and calculated how you were going to repay that?
Wtf did you thought was going to happen?

And then you unironically blame the free market for you making a shitty investment. Holy shit, I swear you people are genuinely retarded.

...

its always funny when a racist encounters a misanthrope

people are animals.

The third world is the result of a people who never work hard or smart for thousands of years. Europe wasnt formed with cities and cars.

More specifically to this id even allow different standards for the circumstances. Of course none of them will become a global CEO no matter what they do, but they can still work hard at moving the gravel. Progress is generational.

Fucking hilarious. Got a clip of that moment?

Define "needs"

If it's anything other than food and water then you should unironically an hero

This is some serious whataboutism.

China is one of the most powerful and developed countries in the world. Through their problems they still managed to modernize and progress.

Also, people shitting on China always mention the Great Leap Forward, but never the Taiping Rebellion which killed a similar amount a century before. It's almost like Chinese history is defined by constant wars and bloodshed.

I can make a webm in a moment if I find the exact minute.

i feelt bad for him when they showed them eating
>all chinks sitting in dining hall
>eddy sitting alone in his office

He can't talk back because the chink will just get another nigger to do the same job.

Think that one through for a minute.

Yeah, because Chinese-Congolese translators are everywhere.

Maybe if one of their forefathers had ever slaved away at work they might be better off now. Hhhmmm....

Also

>60k a year
>research lab

Lol, try more like 35k unless you're a professional medical technologist. Bern victim genocide when?

americans can't seem to get away from this slave mentality encroaching their lives. they slaved the niggers now the jews slaves them. hell i fucking find it hilarious that americans only have 15 days of vacation leaves and sick leaves and are even discouraged to take any of them

KEK. fucking slaves

I think I misread your post. What did you mean by that that post?

If they weren't in semi-reliable supply, the chinese would not be in the congo.

Dont make me face the consequences of bad choices!!
