You didn't actually read my comment, did you? I specifically said unconquered territory, because my point, from the beginning, was that Liberia was a victim not just of the less than ideal circumstances of its founding, but a victim of the broader regional breakdown of society and culture as a result of European…

I didn't realize we were discussing things that happened literally 500+ years ago.

No, I'm using the astonishing powers gifted to me by my functioning brain to employ rational thought and not assuming that a tv show meant to satirize and parody the modern world was written with the assumption that a magical utopia had been established by miraculous fiat, but perhaps that they meant the US was on the…
