   Imagine a crazy future world where your utilities stop working, your armies are managed by race grifters and your capital cities are unliveable, haha. It may sound like bogus science fiction but it may be in store for each and every one of us

     >The Oriental riff is a Western creation. The first known example of a precursor, showing similar rhythm if not yet melody,[2] is the "Aladdin Quick Step", composed around 1847 and used in an Aladdin stage show named The Grand Chinese Spectacle of Aladdin or The Wonderful Lamp.[3][4][5] Later related tunes included "Mama's China Twins (Oriental Lullaby)" from 1900. In the 1930s, a couple of cartoons used a version of the tune specifically to accompany animated stereotypes of East Asians.[3]
     sorry east asians but our reflected orientalist idea of you is better than the real thing ok
