Zimbabwe’s 2022 per capita GDP sits at 175th in the world.

You dumb shite, I said nominal. In your own link, their nominal GDP is 104. God you are retarded.

And they rank 178th in the world when it comes to life expectancy.

Cool.

Face it, it’s a third world shithole. It wasn’t always a third world shithole. But it is now. You can try to make excuses as to “why”. But the fact stands that it was a prosperous country that became a third world shithole.

You dumb frick, the GDP of Rhodesia was like 600 dollars per capita. It's economy was the size of Zambia's, and I'm skeptical you would state that Zambia was some paragon of development. Rhodesia wasn't a stable country, considering it had to deal with an insurgency literally right after declaring independence from the British, as well as sanctions from the British. You are swallowing some big fat propaganda dick because you want to, and you aren't thinking through the larger context, because you likely don't know. Also, in American English, periods go inside the quotations.
