Give a man some water and he drinks for a day. Teach a man to maintain that water source, and he'll complain that he has to work and call you a racist when it eventually breaks due to improper upkeep.

They were given training to maintain the wells, and they did not do it.

There is no helping those who do not help themselves.

I worked with people who helped supervize isolated town's water treatment infrastructure.

If those were (feather) Indian reservations staffed by non-Whites, for entire months the staff would not show up to work.

Ah. The same thing is happening here in Canada, on Indian reservations. The fucking lazy abos bitch, whine, and moan about the lack of clean drinking water. Yet are too stupid and lazy to run the water treatment plant.🙄

My favorite was when water filters were installed but the locals "improved" the system by pulling the filters out, because the water came out faster, so better, obviously.

If "hole in the ground you get water from" is a "Western" solution, then I don't want to know what counts as an African solution to lack of water.

There's also a possibility that the corrupt governments intentionally shut down the wells to prevent them from being used, so that they could maintain water-control on their population.

Not just the warlords, but the governments as well. Remember, because of Progressives and Socialism, Africa actually has some of the most extreme regulatory regimes in the world.

I wouldn't be surprised if the central government in one of these areas declared that the well was a blight and hadn't gone through proper zoning enforcement, which requires that they bury the damn thing.

What African solutions do they have? Why do we always hear about how they don't have water?

Except Wakanda and their Vibranium machines that create water from the dew in the air.

"Our African Brothas are being enslaved, should we do something?" "Nah, We're currently in the 1900s technologically because Vibranium. We have no need to save them."

It was funny watching the movie and seeing T'Challa say "Hey dad, why did we let slavery happen?" And my favorite part was at the end when he was offering Wakandan aid, and the reporter lady said "You're an African country. What do you have to give us?"

The Beast responds:

Random person makes a brand new Tik Tok account, makes a video that’s a straight up lie about the wells I built, and now you’re all falling for it. THIS IS NOT A REAL NEWS SITE THIS IS A RANDOM BRAND NEW TIK TOK ACCOUNT COSPLAYING AS ONE!
I’m so over being defamed 🥲

https://xcancel.com/MrBeast/status/1932315487142060162
People will want evidence for this countering claim, of course. The question there is, does someone with a camera have easy access to one or more of the wells?

– Mpetey123 12 points 29 days ago +12 / -0

True or not, it's interesting that you are questioning the viability of a camera being nearby. I mean there are pictures of Queen Victoria and the American Civil War, but a photo of a well in 2025 is a crap shoot

– FrozeInFear 11 points 29 days ago +11 / -0

Thing is, you need someone in Africa, in relative proximity to a MrBeast well, with internet access, with a camera, to see and care enough about this claim to help back up MrBeast.
The fact that they needed to build a well nearby in the first place makes finding such a person somewhat unlikely, I would think.

I would say English language literacy, or literacy at all is more unlikely than not having internet.

Some countries in the interior of Africa are like 20% literate.

Last mile of internet in the third world is usually cellular.

Here is a decently recent cell coverage map

https://sm.pcmag.com/pcmag_au/photo/a/africa/africa_ff4g.jpg

I think the data is deficient in Ethiopia though, because my past inklings were that it had better internet than most in the region, at least in the cities.

Unlimited data is not common at all though. and it is unlikely that they follow English language tiktok or twitter, or anything video

I would think finding that person would be unlikely as well, which makes the veracity of the video unimportant.

we do nature a disservice by helping those people. If you ever want them to evolve into more intelligent human beings, maybe even functional some day, the dumbest of them have to starve to death or die of thirst. I get it, nobody wants to see suffering when it’s preventable, but if we prevent it, they just breed even more super low IQ “humans” than is sustainable to their local resources, and the suffering grows without even more help.

Larger brain capacity than modern humans, but oddly not larger than the humans at the time. (Humanity let it self go when we won, we were also much bigger at the time on average, but all that crap like intelligence and size takes energy and being able to more efficiently use food often wins out)

Neanderthals didn't seem to have the mental abstraction abilities to form large societies though, even compared to humans at the time. And their tech, though better than what came before, was nearly stagnant for virtually their entire existence. I think they actually trace the details of human population expansion due to long distance trade goods, because the Neanderthals barely did any long distance trade and modern human ancestors did a noticeable amount, even when just roving hunter gatherers.
