What is clear is that Asia is set to rule, people forget that most of Russia is in Asia and the west forced these two nations to embrace each other because the old adage applies the enemy of my enemy is my friend. China and Russia will now set the trend for decades to come. The sun rises in the East and now riches and dominance will also rise in the East. Watch Ukraine closely if Russia wins there its game over for USA.
IMHO Putin has won. He plays chess while the west fiddles with its wokeism and keeps trying to egg Putin into a war.

Too early to call ... Vlad's looking strong atm, but all it takes is one good, false flag attack orchestrated by the DeepState to set the region aflame.

For all my criticism of the CIA and associated U.S.S.A.'s three-letter agencies, those guys are really good at that.

@xkosmox, @symbios: thanks for the detailed, nuanced write-ups on Singapore! It's always good to hear from those who live and work there.

@symbios: we'll probably take you up on your offer to show us a bit of Singapore ... once the jab-rules around global flights, quarantines have all been sorted out, lol. :roll:

Thats exactly the definition of the cosmopolitans. More and more natives are aware of this phenomen, maybe a new trend ???? thats one reason, I hesitate to become a cosmopolitan
Indeed, this does happen ... but that is the nature of immigration, n'est-ce pas?

I like being a cosmopolitan invader, sometimes ... but I pay a lot of taxes, contribute to the economy I am "invading," educate the local population (lmao) ...

Random thought: racism will only truly end when there is significant, "mixing" of the races at the grassroots level ... i.e. lots of mixed children of every possible combination, all playing with each other.

Hard to be "racist" in a world of mixed people ...

Look these beautiful faces, all different, different colors, the diversity is so beautiful. If you mix this diversity, you will lose the differences, it will be a loss for the humanity.

Mixing the different races, well there is a lot to say about it. If its an individual initiative, if its love between two persons, we have nothing to say, its normal. But if it becomes an artificial political agenda, with massive propaganda, with a mandatory mixing of the populations, then I say fuck Coudenhove.

I fear that might not be the solution. Racism generally is based on a feeling of superiority. Occasionally it's based on real issues of outsiders coming in and being treated better than the locals because the politicians have sold the nation to the highest bidder. However, let's assume 30 years from now we live in a nation of all mixed individuals, a certain combination of races will produce a superior being and those beings will try to distance themselves from the so-called lower intelligence beings and then off we go to the next stage in racism. to end racism you would have to create zones where like-minded individuals lived in. Something the world is not ready to embrace for now

Humans in general are too primitive and don’t get along, it’s moot point to combat racism since it will always exist due to poor understanding of the fellow neighbor and also poor understanding of one self also

In my humble opinion, AI will be the only thing will solve these issues but this is likely far in the future. Enjoy the chaos until then

As the money supply increases, the more tyranny will reign in and more polarization

On the question of racism, I recently read an article in Taki's Magazine reviewing a once secret Pentagon paper entitled, "The Strategic Consequences of Chinese Racism: A Strategic Asymmetry for the United States."

The paper was commissioned by a legendary strategist Andrew Marshall who worked for 42 years under thirteen secretaries of defense until his retirement in 2015, "A Chinese general considered Marshall perhaps China’s wisest foe and referred to the ancient seer as 'Yoda'”

"Nobody outside the Pentagon knows all that much about his views—not even secretaries of defense were allowed to keep copies of his highest-level write-ups known as “net assessments.” Only one copy of each was printed and when the cabinet officer finished reading it, Marshall put it back in his safe."

The paper contends Chinese virulent racism is their Achilles Heel.

Other peoples and groups are seen to be inferior, with a sliding scale of
inferiority. The major Chinese distinction is between degrees of barbarians,
the “black devils,” the savage inferiors beyond hope of interaction and the
“white devils” or tame barbarians with whom the Chinese can interact….


First, virulent racism and eugenics heavily inform Chinese perceptions of the
world. United States decision-makers must recognize that China is a racist
state, much closer to Nazi Germany than to the values upheld in the West….
The Chinese are comfortable using race to explain events and appealing to
racist stereotypes to advance their interests. Most insidious is the Chinese
belief that Africans in particular need Chinese leadership.


To the Chinese:

The United States used to be a strong society that the Chinese respected
when it was unicultural, defined by the centrality of AngloProtestant culture
at the core of American national identity aligned with the political ideology
of liberalism, the rule of law, and free market capitalism. The Chinese see
multiculturalism as a sickness that has overtaken the United States, and a
component of U.S. decline


The report recommends using China's racism against them. An interesting approach which current US policy would be hard pressed to adopt. In the words of the author of the article:

"..it’s not clear whether the wily Marshall intended this document more as a guide to how to exploit China’s faults or as a disguised warning of America’s increasing self-destructiveness."

I would argue multi-culturalism is our Achilles heel. I think China's racism will mostly help them by keeping their borders, language & culture intact. No denying the Chinese are racist. For example Hong Kong people (who originally moved there from China) now look down on Chinese mainlanders. Never mind what they think of black guys (I was told if you want drugs find a black guy)

Hey, my spouse and I plan on taking both symbios and you up on your offers, so don't offer lightly. :mrgreen:

I am not as strong as I once was, but I am as strong _once_ as I ever was, so in case of fisticuffs, I should be able to step between symbios and you and broker some degree of temporary peace. :lol:

Singapore and Malaysia are both on the list to explore for us, quite possibly on the same trip, even.

The Metaverse - or perhaps more precisely, the Omniverse (a Metaverse connecting all other sub-metaverses) - could offer a potential solution to this.

In the "real" world, there is some degree of racial intermingling and the usual hatred, but in each individual's choice of multiple metaverses, she could spend time with only like-minded (or like-skinned, even) persons.

Racism has multiple faces

Post by SOL »

Racism between humans has gone on for ages as stated before the only viable solution to racism is to put like-minded individuals in specific zones. The real issue is that say an open-minded critical person does not want to deal with a mindless bot that happens to inhabit a human body. Then there is also pure racism which is based on colour or perceived superiority but again this has mostly has to do with indoctrination by one group of individuals afraid of another group coming in and taking away or diluting their culture. I would agree that TTH makes a valid point when he states that the Chinese might be on the right track for they seem to put their people first.

The racism plaguing most of the Western world has to do with manufactured Racism. The Governments are treating their own people badly and welcoming outsiders. This should never happen. The citizens of that nation should always be treated first and anyone else should fall into a distant second place. In Asia for the most part this is still in play as it is in many parts of Eastern Europe and South America. When a government vilifies its own people and promotes outsiders, they are asking for chaos.

Changing the topic was is even more sinister is News Racism and Business racism where valid points or different views are simply chopped off and made it look like they are the ravings of fringe groups. What is even more sinister is that these groups stating that these fringe groups are responsible for misinformation are responsible for 10X more information but as they control the narrative no one goes after them. They are free to do the very same thing they claim these small fringe groups are doing. Look at the COVID narrative, for example, the Iraq war, the Syrian war, the current BS propaganda that Russia is ready to attack Ukraine, and the list goes on and on

Nah, no need to broker peace. Not at war in the first place, I’m just offering different views. I’m angry at the injustice of the system which allows this to happen and not at anyone in particular.
