    I am confused. Wouldn’t you call it racism when I say “All russians smell bad” or “All white people walk funny”? I thought I checked all the boxes with that: I ascribe (in a negative way) a fact to a group of people, who in fact, don’t all smell bad. So for me is saying “All south africans are racists” and “All Japanese people are too, but slightly better” in fact, racism.

    And every south african I have ever met was as racist or not as racist as every other person I met in my country.

    If you met 10 racist south africans doesn’t mean all south africans are racist. This thought leads to… racism.

    Even the Japanese are not that bad. Although they’re pretty awful too.

    Maybe you meet that many racists because you are one yourself. But what do I know, I am german, we don’t have humor.





  • …capitalism wouldn’t be so bad if it was limited to what it’s good at. Fashion, tech, entertainment, snacks, ect.

    I feel like we see the worst outcomes of those areas under capitalism. If you are poor you often can afford only unhealthy food, fashion is an ecological nightmare and tech produces unbelivable amounts of e-waste. And entertainment is basically only there to serve you ads and stimulate consumption.
