@sim >from portugal to russia actually i love how we're such a switchblade for americans, when they wanna accuse us of being nazis and evil, we're white, when they wanna accuse us of being mongol asians, we're suddenly not white schrodinger's whites
"Thats an US thing. There are "whites", "blacks", "asians" and "latinas". Europeans are white for them. from island to croatia, from portugal to russia. Asian is japanese, china, korea (dont know where they put the middle east and india but i think to indians or black). and latinas are from mexico to chile. They don't get, that every tribe or region in one country alone has his own history, traditions, heritages. Germany, Spain, France, Denmark, Sweden all have their own (on parts connected) history. Ghana, Nigeria, Southafrica are also diverse on their own. Japan != China != korea != Indonesia. They don't even get in to their heads, that Northafricans, aswell as South africans don't have to be dark or black. They just group in "look a likes" and treat them differently. Thats imo rassist even tho they call it woke. If a movie in the middle ages has brits, germans (Bawarians, Franconians), saxons, french etc. the movie should be considered diverse."
@lina Lol. That must be pretty confusing. I get the impression now that my country doesn't exist in their minds, except when they want to call us evil. Otherwise we are just a mishmash. Which is easier for them to revise given how much diversity has been displaced to these lands. So much for that being an evil thing to do.
@sim yea man tell me about it, one moment i'm being told we're based white nationalists another moment i'm condemned for being a mongolian asian mutt even though i have blue eyes if that's not a reason to ignore americans opinions on race and nations, idk whati s
@sim there's a cheat code to not living long enough to see your fall it's living like every day is the last, doing the craziest shit ever, if you're unlucky enough, you won't die
@lina I suppose there is both to it, as it can apply to your country or yourself. Even to both at the same time if you are the reason behind the fall of your country for example. Or contribute to it in some way. We are raised in decadence now.
@sim well i'd prefer to just burn only myself out if i can't get the one thing that i want, so at least i won't be running for a position in the duma or any other dogshit like that cuz i prefer not having any more responsibilities that i want to have
@lina Fair, although living in a society makes it difficult that we just burn ourselves. But at least avoiding politics so you don't bring others down that way helps. Then again, it is difficult to avoid politics now as it has invited itself into the personal realm.
Still, it has been nice to talk with you about stuff like this. Europe has a lot of interesting history and it is interesting to hear what others have to say from other countries within the continent.
@sim yea, well it's not as bad in russia with politics, if you don't use telegram and don't watch the news, it's like there's no war at all besides the prices creeping up slowly, there are no retards trying to do activism here, no other autism like that but yeah, you'll be hardpressed to find someone from europe who's gonna talk about politics and not be ferociously licking the EU's and NATO's bunghole in terms of all the questions and topics
@lina I envy Russia one thing in this, the multi-national mostly US-based big businesses left. They still plague the high street where I am, displacing my own country's food so it is very hard to find traditional English food when I go out in places. You know those corporations also rob income from this country too.
But yeah, if I stay off the news, social media and just avoid certain entertainment... then aside from seeing the Ukraine flags up in public and the rising costs, it isn't noticeable. I do not appreciate any of the geopolitics here.
@sim not all of them unfortunately, some pepsico subsidies like lay's and cheetos are still here, so are kfc but i don't see them winning against shawarma in street stalls
@lina@sim it used to be that junky fast food places were retardedly cheap here, like $2 for an entire meal from McDonald's. Thats how they gained so much dominance. That is absolutely not true anymore though and thats how niggas end up $40,000 in debt by door dash.
@RustyCrab@sim >end up in debt to a junk food delivery service :ryukopfffffffft::ryukopfffffffft::ryukopfffffffft::ryukopfffffffft::ryukopfffffffft::ryukopfffffffft::ryukopfffffffft::ryukopfffffffft::ryukopfffffffft::ryukopfffffffft::ryukopfffffffft:
@sim@RustyCrab@lina companies take like 20 million dollars in investor money and then instead of using it to develop the business they use it to subsidize the service cost because then you put the competitors out of business and then you can raise prices to cover the loss yes.
@Moon@RustyCrab@lina Tragic. Or you can be like Disney, where they already made their profit in the US, and then they could put their competitors out of business by offering the product for less on the foreign markets.
@sim@RustyCrab@lina these are all "valid" ways of making your business successful but the obvious downside is that it just accelerates the concentration of capital.
@Moon@RustyCrab@lina It also destroys the local culture and character in a place. It has been a disaster for localism, actually having a human face in the community that you get to know because it becomes corporatised instead.
@lina@sim among normal people who don't obsess over political extremism all the time, at least where I live, russians get lumped in with polish people as the "white but kinda weird" people
@CumskinFoidPuncher69420@sim i know that much, forget about asking about the race of a white supremacist's girlfriend, don't ask about the race of a white supremacist
@sim@lina The CIA wants that you be engaged in politics. All the "independent news" that exists is really just a front for CIA agents pushing the American/NATO agenda of total domination of world democracy
