In India, your servant cleans your house, your servant drives you around, your servant cooks food for you, your servant ties your shoes... community ๐Ÿฅฐ

I can't think of one other person who doesn't appreciate these luxuries! Wait, what do you mean "proles are people"?? porky-scared

In India, I have at times seen at restaurants families bringing the nanny along to look after the children while they do fuck all and the nanny always stands or sits at a different table on account of being a servant.

Shit like this is accepted as normal and no one cares. So far I haven't even come across the CPI address this.

    Same in South Africa. You can guess the racial demographics involved, which further adds to how terrible it looks and is. I always give the people a death stare from my table. It's bullshit.

    Not too different from Guatemala either. Seems to be a running theme in countries experiencing colonialism.

    Formerly colonised countries do seem to have their cultural and moral norms shaped heavily by colonialism and the class society it has left in its wake. There is a minority but signficant stratum of middle class Uncle/Auntie Toms that revel in inflicting upon the majority slightly softened forms of colonial servitude.
