Steps to lose a country

[Khansaber]

We checked all the steps as a country.
Steps to Lose a Country:

1. Polarization: Create an "us versus them" mentality, exploiting patriotism, existing social and economic divisions.
2. Constitutional changes: Slowly modify the constitution to consolidate power and restrict checks on authority.
3. Control the media: Silence opposition voices and use propaganda to shape public opinion.
4. Erode institutions: Weaken or dismantle independent institutions, such as the judiciary and electoral bodies.
5. Create a cult of personality: Foster a charismatic leader's image or institution leader, emphasizing their strength and vision.
6. Restrict individual freedoms: Limit civil liberties, such as free speech and assembly, under the guise of national security or stability.
7. Elections without democracy: Hold elections but manipulate the process to ensure the desired outcome

Firewall model. Just like IPPs, Construction, water contracts. Money spent is considered an expense and must be fully reported to the IMF. The costs of modernization and maintenance may become unsustainable, and using TOR Browsers, satellite VPNs, IPV6, and GenAI may limit effectiveness.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1824756035527057443 On poverty traps, and Pakistan (by Dr Atif Mian)
Poverty is a terrible thing - but it always comes with a silver lining. Poor people are willing to work for less, and knowledge they can use to be more productive is already out there. If only a government can help harness this natural advantage, growth and prosperity follows, as countries like Vietnam and Korea have shown.
To put it differently, it takes effort to suppress growth for long periods of time. But some countries manage to do so through their collective decisions, and remain stuck in what economists refer to as a “poverty trap”. There is increasing evidence that Pakistan is stuck in such a trap due to decades of malpractice.
The black line below plots Pakistan’s GDP since 1980. It’s log-scale, meaning a straight line reflects constant growth rate. The straight red line depicts Pakistan’s growth rate during the 1980’s. The increasing separation of black line from red shows that Pakistan’s growth rate has progressively declined since the 80’s. In fact, the black line is almost flattening in recent years, depicting a stagnating economy - Pakistan is stuck in a poverty trap. (1/3)

The last two years have been the worse in Pakistan’s economic history. I plot annual inflation and per-capita GDP growth for each year since 1980 below. 2023 and 2024 stand-out - never has inflation been this high and growth this low. The closest years are global crises of 2009 and 2020, but the recent two years are purely the country’s own making. (2/3)

Is this just statistics? I have personally never seen as much hopelessness on the streets of Pakistan as now - it seems that anyone who can, wants to leave the country. There is some credence to this perception of mine. The chart below plots how frequently Pakistanis search for the word “visa” on google relative to the rest of the world. The number of people searching for visas abroad has skyrocketed.
The thing about poverty traps is that they are “traps” - meaning incremental change cannot take you out of your misery. The only way out of poverty traps is through a big policy change - a change that is coordinated and credible over a sustained period of time. I’ll talk about what this means in the future.
For now, it’s business as usual in Pakistan. And that is terrible news for its people. (3/3)
