also the amount of time they had to do it. even before the past 300 years, white people were running roughshod all over the planet, but instead of pillaging and laying waste to shit, see Genghis Khan. White people were trying to civilize the world and it's stone age tribes.
The White Man's Burden.
Then we leave well enough alone here in America and create the greatest times the world has ever seen, Industrial age, literally travelling to space, winning world wars, fuck we even had a civil war and it was all Americans dying then. Now we are in a technological wonder world where it's all taken for granted.
I would like to credit this to white people generally living in harder conditions/winter etc. therefore "white people" have genetic predisposition to planning ahead, instead of living in the moment, as it were.
I even notice this in mediterranean vs nordic engineering. Italian cars are known for looking good and not lasting very long, generally. They also apparently have a lot of bridges collapse. I accredit this to the hot weather leading to a laid-back attitude. Meanwhile if you go north they have the Netherlands and Sweden where they really think things through much better generally (volvo, levy systems) And if you go south they don’t have cars or bridges and shit in their water supply. America is a mix of the former 2
