Something something yes racism is a thing, yes, tourists and first world immigrants (not expats, not calling you that) can experienced racism.
But sometimes, it fucking bothers me that a lot of xenophobia rant get mixed with white guy not being treated as special in the place they come to visit because they see it as some random nothingburger land where they are the protag.
I mean, there are racism when it comes to white tourists, but I swear to god some of these people just suddenly realize "xenophobia" once they realize they can't do anything they want.
I'm talking about the white guy who complained about how the government is being racist toward him and xenophobic because they do not let him enter military zone. Like, everyone already explained, it is a military zone, it is a sensitive spot, literally there are so many rules like this all over the world. While the guy is enjoying his vacation in the province where Indonesian-Chinese people have no fucking rights to own a business or land there even if they are an actual 5 generation citizen. But noooooo, these brown servants are xenophobic because he can't enter military restricted area, while he is probably treated well as white tourist.
What does it say that in nearly every case where its stated that a country is in danger of under-going a "demographic collapse"/Low Fertility Rates I can almost universally identify 2/3 commonalities among them that is driving it that a lot of those nations always avoid talking about?
The Countries in question always have at least 2 of these three things:
An economic system that has led to a society that is actively hostile to the idea of affordable living for a single adult never mind a family with multiple children.
An unaddressed history of active misogyny towards women. (this is present in every single one of these countries)
An unacceptably large portion of the populace and/or government obsessed with the idea of racial purity or cultural homogeneity that works to actively push out undesired ethnic groups.
@regina-bithyniae unaddressed history of active misogyny seems to have really poor explanatory power! How do you score misogyny internationally and how does that vary with total fertility rate? What about 25 years ago? Or 50?
Like, I am 100% willing to blame flagging family formation on the misdeeds of political factions but it's that houses are too expensive because not enough of them were built where people want to live
Yeah the things you identify as common factors are claims that your political camp make about literally everyone no matter what regardless of evidence
So at bare minimum, you've identified common factors like "breathes air" and "drinks water"
But also those last two criteria are very obviously far more true of countries that do not have a fertility problem
wasn't there also a big movement in 20th centuries where government put a shitton of money for contraceptive propaganda. Okay, that made me sound anti-contraception, but there were some countries that made posters about limiting the number of children you have and policies to punish anyone who have more than 2 children.
Like I feel a lot of people seems to pretend this never happen at all. Because some governments did once put a fund to tell people to have less children, then got surprised that it works. Also, people have a lot of children back in the days because they were less likely to survived, the industrial revolution happened, QoL increased, people have the same number of children as before but most of them survived. But people were making too many children that maybe they need to reduce the numbers or people realize life is good enough for 2 children.
Also, doesn't explain why people could have like 9 or more children back then where society is way worse
In a way, the reason why I don't like indonesian progleft so much is that they are very dumb and stupid is because
Okay, imagine this, you have a weird myth spreading around your children regarding about jewish people that educational institution think it is an actual religious doctrine and taught it in primary education. The fucking doctrine is that at the end of times, all the jews will die, muslims will kill all of them one by one, the trees and the mountains will whispers about where the jews are hidden and they will all be massacred.
Indonesian leftists, mostly, have muslim background. They were taught israel was evil, not because what it had done towards palestinian first, but because they are the jews who stole our holy land first. Then, for some fucking reason, the Indonesian progressive view about how "Indonesian have misconception about the jewish people" just disappear and now the popular indonesian progressive view is just A BIG MISCONCEPTION about jewish people in general (Like believing goyim is a slur and using the word goy to describe "people who are brainwashed by the evil capitalist")
Anyway, they love to talk about unlearning hatred and being careful about the minority ethnic that they dislike, until it comes about jewish people. In a sense, I do agree Israel paint Judaism in a bad spot, but man, I think the people who was taught they will kill all jewish people to bring the real Islam true golden era and kinda never really question those are not the right people to swing palestinian flag.
AND WHICH PEOPLE WHO LOVES TO SCREAM PINK WASHING BUT STILL GOES "Ermm, Maybe Aceh shouldn't be free because of sharia laws and they are bigot after all," WHEN IT IS THE MUSLIM COUNTRY WE COLONIZED, RAPED, AND EXPLOITED.
IF YOU CAN DEFEND HAMAS, THEN YOU CAN NOT SAY THAT ABOUT ACEH PEOPLE EITHER
Given a time machine which I have to pick whether or not I would stop Imam Bonjol and his allies or kill Sukarno so Hatta became president.
Issue is, I can't do both.
wait nevermind that OP think muslims conquering europe will make everything great lmao

"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"
I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,
If you went back in time and killed John Calvin in the cradle most modern evils would probably never exist, just saying.
During World War II, the English words boy and girl acquired radical, even potentially deadly, new meanings: boy could refer to any nuclear device that exploded successfully, and girl to any that failed to explode. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, in other words, was a very healthy boy.
According to Jane Mills (1989: 105), whose feminist dictionary leaves the sexual symbolism of this language — the explosion of boy bombs — untouched,
Another it is so odd that people act like buddhism above criticism is that I see like some guy going the evulz muslims with their sacrifice towards food and the crazy people who found religion are secretly mentally ill and have to get therapy
Yet for some reason doesn't find the no eat garlic no eat onion because you have to suffer in this world doctrine is okay.
I do not really like buddhism
To that person who said "Are you saying sikh idea against eating garlic and onion is conservative thinking?" yes. I do think a lot of people avoid it over the most stupid made up conservative bullshit that they think everyone should suffer to reach to heaven.
also, the idea of vegetarian who avoid eggs in hinduism sounds like reducing women as nothing but baby maker that their own menstruation is treated as "discarded potential babies"
why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic
He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.
Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.
Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.
And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?
Capitalism is disgusting.
Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj
What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.
not an experience but this tik tok
this is exorsexism
Girl. That's not your theory, that's TERF 101.
"Trans men and enben AFAB transition to escape misogyny"
and just like with "trans women transition for sex reasons" the response needs to be "if they do that's based actually"

the LADS discourse made me learn that how the fuck are bishoujo game more progressive and queer friendly than fucking otome games
my friends hate this video so much i don't even have to repost it in discord anymore i'll just be in a voice call and go "wouldn't it be crazy if the joker could beatbox" and they all tell me to go kill myself

"This jackass has the gall to compare my culture and the concept of intellectual property, how heinous! Anyway, this story was made by my bloodline so you aren't allowed to reproduce that story or elements thereof without our permission. This is different than intellectual property because I hate intellectual property so it can't be similar to anything I think. It can't have anything to do with blood-and-soil nationalism because ideas don't have traits or components, they are fully formed and indivisible and exist only due to people choosing to be evil for no reason."
Thoughts and prayers to my European mutuals suffering under their omega heat
please don't call it that
