Copyright and patents function to underdevelop the countries preyed upon by the West.

Even as far back as the Watt steam engine there was such a broad patent that it effectively covered all steam engines apart from the inefficient Newcomen engine. Anyone who made a steam engine could and would be sued for infringing on the patent.

The capitalist West gets to develop itself through innovation and then yanks up the fucking ladder so no one else can follow them without paying exorbitant licensing fees.

inventions in the fields of steam trains or plumbing fall under patent right, which unlike copyright law is actually "sensible" (if you believe in intellectual property to begin with) in that it only lasts 14 years max (although companies have obviously found ways to circumvent the law in many cases)

Punjabis had guns 2000 years ago and the greeks wrote about it

all of history is fake and all european achievements were given to them by aliens (Tesla was the most highly possessed)
