How do you feel about the following statement:

Black people are the Amerikkkan version of Brazilian favelados.

See how it's reducing an entire ethnic group to a specific socio-economic and cultural subgroup?

Imagine coming up to some educated person with a normal job that looks vaguely like a northern Indian and telling them they're the European equivalent of the homeless in the USA. Or saying something like "black people are the Amerikkkan version of Brazilian favelados".

And I've only seen that desire to kill them with literal Nazis. There are a lot of ways my government is trying to help them break their generational cycle of poverty and suffering. For example in my country universities have separate entrance exams and scholarships for Romani. Hell, it's even pretty much traditional to invite gipsy musicians when celebrating big stuff like weddings and children being born.

It can be, but it's not really. It's just the name for the culture, while Rom/Roma is the name for the ethnicity and literally means human. There's a reason why they popularised phrases like "gypsies also have souls".

The actual slurs are derived from the word gipsy.

Think of it like extremist religious communities. Sure, gypsies support each other, but they're also generationally perpetuating their way of living. For example even if they get a chance to attend schools they often get pulled out by their parents to get married and/or start working before they finish primary education. They live in tightly knit communities, speak their own language that's completely separate from the local one, and live in a drastically different culture.

In other words, your friends and relatives will help you to raise your five children, but your parents are the reason you started having them at fourteen and why you can barely speak the language of the country you're living in.

It's pretty fucked up all around, especially when you consider the fact that they had to call themselves "human" in their own language (rom), and popularise phrases like "gypsies also have souls".

Keep in mind that there are ethnically Romani, and culturally Romani otherwise known as gypsies. Equating them just based on their ancestry, or comparing an entire ethnic group to the homeless is pretty racist.

There's always a chance I messed up, but afaik it was tumbleweed. Although I was looking for some programming and niche packages, not something popular like Firefox.

From what I've seen it's far from bleeding edge. A few months ago I compared it to other rolling release distros and it was by far the most out of date.

Do remind me what were their victory conditions.

To me they look like: destabilise the region, sell military tech, build bases, establish puppets, plunder resources, repeat.

Everything else is just marketing

Wait whaat?

And to be very clear, ethical principles are subjective. There is no objectively right or wrong thing as far nature is concerned.

Deonotlogists and other Moral Realists and Universalists are shook

But yeah, let's imagine moral ontology was solved, and that moral relativism and nihilism are the only ethical theories around...

its like that everyone that comes to the united states from a communist country forgets the values of marxism, socialism, and communism

Do you think anyone moving to the USA knows and respects those values? If they did, they wouldn't be going there...

I don't believe you're a removed.

I believe you're not a removed.

Can you notice a difference?

One's a lack of belief, the other is a negative belief.

to be an athiest you only have to not believe in a religion yourself that's it the sole principle required for athiesm

Atheism is a belief in the nonexistence of divine beings, not the lack of belief. What you're describing is irreligion.

My friend, read the thread. You're getting triggered over someone laughing at the idea of westerners hosting web content in China to escape censorship.

The governance of China? It'd be pretty cool to own it as physical books, but do you really think the consulate would sell it to me?

Have you checked this out?

You're going too far! We'll sentence him to not leaving his mansion for a few years, and then release him on parole after a month. That will definitely teach him a lesson!

This is what I want from China in my country, not prison labour and factories exploiting corruption to pollute the environment.

Anyways, does anyone have any good resources on how to systematically fight rampant corruption, especially from Xi's perspective?

It's no wonder Canonical is partnering up with Microsoft to EEE Linux

It's been time since Ubuntu was selling user search data to Amazon, and adding ads to the terminal... It's a shit distro with an even worse company behind it.
