Haiti Has Collapsed: What Next? 

Another 'thanks America' situation. First they coup'd then they assassinated and expected the country to just fit into place.

No shit..

A collapse implies a structure, be it physical or metaphorical, failing. I'd argue that Haiti NEVER had any structure to begin with.

Sounds like every NGO to me.

Sounds like “Palestine” to me. Where’s all these billions to show for it? Oh right……it’s used to buy weapons.

We have a similar problem in Mexico, just instead of foreign aid is the country's IBP

I've been there. No way those house's defenses on the Mountain are enough to save them if the gangs want to make them pay for their sins.

@@donnydarko7624 The NGO people are very generous with the power, both official and subverted. They bring millions and some of it always cascades down to the thugs. Those gangs do not mess with the foreign aid merchants because its good money coming to the country, and if they cause an stampeed of NGOs, agencies and institutions, they loose the funds. They both need each other.

@@quirinoguy8665It’s also extremely poor character to think “Who are these people suffering? My perspective is more important because…” because what…?

I really have to wonder if the "elites" that initially spawned the gangs, still have any meaningful connection too them, and more importantly, power over them. The gangs seem like evil genie's that have wholly escaped their bottles. Why would they care or take direction from some rich asshole who funded them a couple years ago? Not saying those elites aren't culpable for this, they are, just that going to them and hoping those elites can somehow reign in the monsters they spawned seems like a fools errand, the monsters have outgrown their masters.

Anarchism is stupid, but you have a misguided idea of what it is. Anarchism is the idea that individuals will protect themselves, and if gangs rise counter-gangs will react. This is just a bunch of gangs moving in one wave destroying everything, whilst insividuals couldn't even try to defend themselves.

It was pretty ok during the Haitian Empire days, and then it was... stable during Papa Doc. Granted, neither would last very long, but still.

But didn't you know? Back when Trump called it a shithole the MSM defended it saying Haiti was already great, no need to change it!

@@rRekkoNo one ever said that

Agreed, I don’t think Haiti could ever have been considered a stable nation at any point in history since its slave revolt.

​@@tuckerseifert3977actually yeah they did lol they even made shirts about it.

Check Haiti's history with France. The Dominican Republic was controlled by the Spanish and they left peacefully but the French demanded a huge amount of compensation or their warships would attack the rebels that fought their French slave owners. Haiti got screwed ten different ways by the West. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KpOtkVRnH54.html&ab_channel=CasualScholar

The dominican Republic wasn't pillaged like Haïti though. Haïti had to pay France an insane amount each year and it ruined them.

Only one half of that island was saddled with absolutely crippling reparations just after being founded.

Look at the ethnic differences between the two halfs and you get your answer.

One side was placed on economic embargo for over 100 years, forced to pay reparations to its owners, and is nearly stripped bare of its natural resources. The other side actually got help and not placed on economic embargo for 100 years and wasn’t stripped bare. Especially considering there’s a fuxkin gold mine in the DR.👀

Because it doesn’t actually matter. This dude has a has a knack for blowing shit out of proportion then begging the “world” to handle a problem that has nothing to do with it. Sucks to say, but Haiti is inconsequential. The world cannot spend billions on every single uprising and collapse. Especially when nearly every western country willing to help is in extreme levels of debt. Haiti needs to handle its own mess.

Because years ago, a lot of celebrities and journalists tried to make Haiti look good because a supposedly bad orange man said it was a shithole country. They can't bring themselves to admit he was right.

Seems like the entire country is turning into a prison.

“Working” isn’t the word to use to describe their prison system. People were locked up for 10+ years without a trial. Many of them were innocent, but couldn’t get out. They were literally piled up on top of each other, 40 to a cell and sleeping on top of one another on the floor, and dying of diseases. Many died from illnesses before they could prove their innocence. When you understand the back story, it’s no surprise at all that they burned the prison down. I honestly think it was for the better. It looked like hell on earth. What’s even worse, is I don’t know if life outside of the prison is any better now.

Or anything worth stealing.

That’s because most people only hear about Haitis over exaggerated poverty and don’t care enough to search for themselves. Outside of the capital and the surrounding areas Haiti doesn’t look that bad especially the “Okap” area but most wouldn’t know this

is there a reliable internet and electricity connection?

What's life like for you?

Well it's really hard in the sense that food is not as easily available which jacks up the prices of even basic things as drinkable water. restaurants, schools, even churches are mostly closed as well as most state offices.

The only real solution would be DR taking over the entirety of Hispaniola… but I’m not sure they have the capability to do that… and I mean that as I literally don’t know rather than I’m doubting their capabilities.

But the glasses are a big part of his look, and not wearing them would probably make him unrecognizable to most of his casual viewers. It may also just be that as the video quality expectations grew while they were also launching more and more spin-off channels that they had to coordinate, their team decided that making sure that the lighting was angled _just_ right to not cause a glare was too much of a pain in the ass and limited their lighting options too much. This is just the best version of events that can be reconstructed from the meager amount of insider leaks and circumstantial evidence that the general public has been able to gather, but the likeliest story is that the film crew then bound, blindfolded, and threw Simon into the trunk of the intern's car and drove him out to the middle of the Mojave Desert whereupon they cast him to the dirt on his knees and threw a shovel at him. They then calmly explained that he would be digging a hole, but that it would be up to him whether said hole was going to be 6 inches or 6 feet wide.

They took after the French with constantly burning their country to the ground over minor disagreements. The difference is the French could afford to rebuild every time.

The common people would oppose it. Haiti has a strong will and still a strong will to remain independent and solve their own issues. They have been figgters since their independence. Nothing can conquer them unless they are on being in flames as they shed blood

Meanwhile, the beaches and caves are all slowly becoming privatized to the point Jamaicans can't even enjoy the natural wonders of jamaica without a hefty fee that most folks can't afford. Sprinkle in a little government corruption and overprioritization of the tourism sector and you get a people with a growing resentment towards tourism and the government. Alot of people I've talked feel like the government turned Jamaica into nothing more than an attraction which leaves the people feeling exploited and unimportant. Jamaica is more like some foreigners summer vacation than a Sovereign nation almost. The feeling of exploitation is probably why Haiti is so unreceptive to foreign assistance and why aid has always failed. The Caribbean still hasn't recovered from the exploitation and dehumanizing of the slave trade.
