You can see this along countries and cultures too; westerners are usually way more stingy than people in the global south. Middle Easterners, North Africans, South Asians, Latin Americans, etc. will constantly try to do favors for family, friends, acquaintances. Muslims will randomly offer and insist on giving people free gifts or food. I've heard Swedish people tell guests to wait in the other room while their family eats dinner.

Off topic but bro's kinda fine

People are trying to cancel for him for "cheering for the deaths of his fellow soldiers" at a US military base in Jordan, as if I couldn't like him any more lmao

Amy's father Mitch Winehouse had this to say

I've got a feeling it was an Amy fan, and possibly didn't understand the gravity of what they've done. Amy was a unifying force, she probably has more Muslim fans, because there's more Muslims, than Jewish fans. My friend of mine was in Dubai a couple of weeks ago and Amy's merchandise, flying off the shelves

Imo the person who did it probably knew but her father clearly doesn't gaf lmao

Watch it Jack, I just got off the rotary with my good friend Dwight E and the HUAC's filing quite a few onionskins on you pinkos

The loathing for wide groups of people from countries with bad governments that include comrades and are mostly working class people get me a little bit. Americans are evil racists, Canadians are genocidal pigs that hide it better, Germans have nazism in their blood, Europeans are fascist scum, Hindu-Indians are far-right supremacists, British people are neo-colonial transphobes, South Koreans are socially backwards bootlickers, Japanese are atrocity denying fascist sympathizers, etc. etc.

I feel like using extreme general statements about working people is not only dumb but anti-materialism, it's like, you're implying certain groups of people are inherently more [x negative quality] because of the imaginary construct of a region they happen to be from? And people only get how this is bad when reactionaries stereotype Russians or people from anti-west states? Even when large swaths of a country are basically ignorant, that's just humans being shaped by their culture, environment, laws, material conditions

E.g. I didn't like the posts about how Germans fucking suck, are apparently prone to supporting Israel because of their genocide-conforming-skull-shape 80 years later, and should be lucky their people weren't wiped from the face of earth when most of my family are leftist anti-zionists in Germany

I also don't get the extreme hatred of everyday liberals, from my experience, most are naive but well-meaning. Like cmon, most of the people in your life and the people you care about would probably be (rightfully) banned from this site for liberalism

I wrote this at 4am so sorry for the run on sentences n stuff

They technically have their own prime minister-ish figure and are a semi-autonomous nation with their own succdem led parliament. Like they still have to submit to England, but I guess they appease Scots by allowing them some different systems

For example, university is tuition free in Scotland but insanely expensive in England, which basically makes Scotland 50% USSR to these people

Not the only thing that was giant from what I've seen

Large amount of frustration with Londoners being condescending to them while the parts of the country they live in suffer from underinvestment

What does that have to do with the EU though? Hasn't the UK become significantly poorer and had greater inequality since Brexit? I was seeing a lot of leftists saying Brexit would only make the UK more of a neoliberal hell and it certainly has

Britain will never be respected in Europe because we aren't on the continent and thus we're better not being part of any pan european movement

Idk Ireland's pretty well respected in the EU and they have pretty overwhelming 90+% support for maintaining EU membership. But I guess it's more British people (especially English) being seen as the Americans of Europe

Also Poland wanted out of the EU too at the time

Did they? I mean, far-right parties seemed to endorse it but only 22% of the population actually supported leave, higher than now but still a clear minority
