/s (you probably meant she*)

The world is such a sad place to live. This comes from USA, just think about all the third world countries, it’s not any better but worse sadly.

“I was at house eating dorito when phone ring”

Unless you could link a credible source it’s hard to accept this as anything more than a mere opinion

There’s very less evidence to support that. I can only recall one incident where a blanket infected with small pox was handed out to a tribe and the officer who did that was later severely reprimanded.

But anyhow, I am not trying to downplay the ill intent of European settlers, I will just quote this here “history is written by victors”. The blanket incident is all I recall about deliberate disease spreading. who really knows? How many hundreds of such incidents went unreported?

To be fair more people died from the diseases brought by the settlers.

Reminds me of the songs from “the hobbit”. Ah the nostalgia!

Is this an online quiz? I wanna take it

Yeah that’s totally not a worse death.

When you think about it, it really did change the world for almost a century. It lead to ww1 which sowed the seeds for ww2 and when that came to end, communism had been strengthened enough by stalin capatalizing under the pretence of a nazi free Europe.

Unpopular opinion: it’s more of a coping mechanism for the third world countries.

Sure UK and much of Europe had big and terrible colonies but there were still many like sweden and norway which did not. Thus the assertion that developed countries all have built upon exploitation is not entirely true

Assertion 2: countries such as china have shown that economic development is possible when you have a terrible history of war, destruction or otherwise poor economic background. Sure personal freedom is a joke in China but to say it isn’t an economic giant is false. Poland after ww2 is another example, much of their intellects were killed and warsaw was everything but ruins at the end of 1945

Assertion 3: geography, the age groups of the people and culture all affect the development of a nation much more than their history from 80 years ago.

- from someone who has keen interest in history and lives in a third world country and seen corruption, bribery and every form of idiotic economic decision that a government can make to not let the country be a better place.

I was actually refering to the headline in the picture but yeah this is an interesting piece of information too, I know the post’s title was sarcastic but didn’t know it was such a thoughtful joke haha

Right, it makes sense to me now. The double “as” was definitely confusing, but “identified” instead of “named” immediately made the sentence clear. Thanks.

Is it me or the headline is worded strangely?

Ah yes enslaved chromium

I have never been more sad to waste 30 seconds of my life to a spam ad trying to understand it if it was a hidden meme :(

Some glance at the comments in the video tells me that this video aged like wine, the guy might be harassing coworkers. I say might because, I am not 100% sure.

It makes sense, I agree but speaking from personal experience from India where this positive discrimination called reservation exists, just leads to horrible segregation, it flares up every now and then in people. People from high castes always curse the lower ones for not getting their “supposed government job” that they should have gotten. Such measures should be entirely based on economic status and not some birth status. I say this because I know plenty of rich but lower caste people who have terribly exploited this system.

I also agree that in the end, matters relating to such birth statuses are complicated. If only humans could co exist all peacefully but alas.

Ok Richard

It’s absurd if that’s true. Who would in their right mind believe this solves any racism? If anything it creates more segregation about races. It’s the social acceptance that minorities need not economic or education privilege. Sad times.
