Three out of four not bad just not Madagascar. you must either be psychic or those countries along with Egypt, Kenya and maybe Libya are the only countries people know.
They're usually the common ones because:
Zimbabwe - Has one of the more internationally infamous dictators, and the joke of its hyperinflation
South Africa - Home of Nelson Mandela, who's popular with white people in a fashion similar to MLK
Nigeria - Major economy on the continent, internationally infamous because of Boko Haram.
Egypt - Westerners love their pyramids
Kenya - Popular image of Safaris, suspected birth place of a recent President who was actually born on the opposite side of the planet
Libya - Terrorists, and one of the major interventions of recent years.
Madagascar - That one movie franchise.
Now, ask them about the history of those countries in general, or what some of their neighbours are, and the average person will struggle. Jon didn't even realise Zaire is not a thing anymore.
Glad I went to sleep, because I don't think I could have tolerated that stream. I dropped from following his twitter and YouTube account back after the women's march stuff, but this still feels so frustrating, as someone who spent his latter teens with Jon's material. The man used to make me laugh my ass off, now I can only render a frustrated sigh because what in the actual
fuck.
