   Fuck this homophobic and xenophobic ‘politicians’ in Singapore

   ‘Make Singapore Home Again’? No thanks. I am proud that Singapore is home to so many people not like me, including those who quite literally build it. I want more things to make *them* feel more welcome.

     @KatS yeah but the interesting thing about Singapore ethno-nationalism is, it’s often about not letting ‘new’ people from China get citizenship, even tho their own grandparents came from China not too long ago. They read very deeply into how ‘they are not like us’

     @skinnylatte Twelve years, with a five-year waiting period after that to get a vote?
     Wow.

     People here are trying to increase the ten-year residence requirement for citizenship, which already has me deciding I'm not motivated to fight that hard against them to get it.

     That's just ethno-nationalism with a bit of a paint-job.
