My grandfather went to South Africa back in the 70s. Very interesting stories.
Which part did he go? Do you remember? @ophiuchus
All through it. Mostly Johannesburg, also visited some place called Sun City out in the desert.
There is so much to dissect in a country like that. I can only say that it will broaden and sustain your perspectives
It makes you realize the dire necessities @ophiuchus
In everything that we do
And when I talk to people from other countries. . . Like my friends in London . . They have the same sense of urgency, nearly, as people in South Africa.
I think Americans will wait until the heat is so hot that they have no choice
Americans are comfortable. WE are comfortable
Anyone with a sock plz jump on this
I can certainly vouch for how dire the situation is in London
There are too many distractions right now for the majority of Americans to wake up
Beer, football, clubbing, etc.
Like Anam said, we are too comfortable
There are pockets in the US were the heat is hot but yet . . . We are still comfortable
Collectively comfortable. .
We are definitely too comfortable. Americans tend to be, by necessity to an extent, very insular. I almost wish it was required for high school students to travel abroad- to see the entire world isn’t like a cozy hometown in Nebraska, to recognize that ideas such as the prohibition of Central American immigration isn’t done out of cruelty, but necessity.
The thing is, I don’t think it’s the distractions. We don’t have one track minds, I’m studying several things and have multiple hobbies and I’m still up to date with news, and I’m an average woman.
It’s not distractions, it’s because they literally just don’t care. You could tell a lot of these people the world is ending and they wouldn’t blink. Their distractions aren’t “distractions”, it’s just that they have become so jaded and see such little value in culture and preservation that even cold hard facts can’t move them
I agree. Americans are at the lowest percentage compared to *most* countries to even own a passport. Someone told me the exact percentage but I was astounded. Americans dont travel as much as others in other countries do. @ophiuchus
I meant less “travel to almost exclusively white resort enclaves in the third world” and more “actually see how the rest of the world lives.”
Yes. No one wants to get out of their comfort zone and travel to South Africa. Crazy folks like me do that. 😂 @ophiuchus
I’ve met plenty of people who would be considered very well traveled judging by the stamps in their passport who spent nearly their entire time abroad in a Disneyland bubble of luxury.
Yes. I agree. But I'll have to find the statistics on the percentage of Americans who own passports
And I bet they felt sorry for those folks and gave donations ? 😂 @Nemets
Therein lies a huge problem
@Nemets so long as white people have anything then there is always more we could be giving to the third world!
I can attest to that. I know a girl who’s actually pretty well-versed in Liberian history who thinks we’re singularly to blame for all of that country’s woes.

@ophiuchus
But sure, it's our fault. <:really:453005408064241674>
Those group of boys here in WI doing a certain symbol with their hands are protected under free speech. Just seen the article
Yea, still bad optics though.
Of course, but still a free speech win
Protected by free speech how? From being barred from college admission? @Auf WI
Yeah that “protection” ain’t going to happen
Those kids are screwed in the job market, they’re screwed in college admissions, they’re only not screwed in blue collar jobs that don’t give a damn about some media story bc they’ll do the work.
Free speech still only applies to the government and action taken by the govt against individuals and institutions. It doesn’t prevent private individuals and institutions from screwing those kids out of opportunities till kingdom come.
Do you guys think that the restablishment of large family clans could halt the progress of sjws
Yes
Patriarchal familial clans
