The first paragraph from the Wikipedia entry for Yellow Peril says:

“The Yellow Peril (also the Yellow Terror, the Yellow Menace, and the Yellow Specter) is a racist color metaphor that depicts the peoples of East and Southeast Asia as an existential danger to the Western world.”

Do you really not see how using a random person of Asian background as a stand in for the dangers of Chinese influence has a “yellow peril race angle”? Maybe ask yourself why that is, because the connection is apparent to any impartial observer. Would you feel any different if, hypothetically, it was a picture of your sister decrying the dangers of an equivalent ‘white peril’? Come on now, you’re being dense on purpose.

Well, the person in the picture is a random artist. Do you not agree that putting her picture here as an example of a Chinese honeypot, just because she looks Asian and is pretty, has a race angle?

Presenting: The Forest Gump of war crimes, the man who’s currently teaching Satan a trick or two of his in hell. Props to my man Le Duc Tho for declining the charade of sharing a peace prize with one of the worst war criminals in modern times.

Sumo has plenty of commercialism, it’s just a different kind. It’s a sport with large issues around gambling and alcohol for example, while being heavily sponsored by gambling and alcohol companies. I also believe that all divisions are pro, the top two divisions are just salaried pros. So all wrestlers win cash prizes when victorious, but the top two divisions also get a salary whether they win or lose. At least that’s how I’ve had it explained to me.

It’s that huge (avoiding) accountability he learnt in the seventies and eighties, before all these damn kids got corrupted by Casey Anthony and OJ.

Way to not answer the legitimate question. How about you take some accountability for your own faulty logic and answer the question? Should we imprison four year olds, since they know the difference between right and wrong? Maybe the ‘huge’ accountability they thought in the seventies and eighties wasn’t so huge after all.

This has always been hilarious to me, considering that I am from a country whose name is the plural of Aryan. Iran is Aryan in plural form, and I can assure you that blond with blue eyes is not the look of people in central Asia, where Aryans originate.

The problem you’re describing sounds more like an issue with space allocation. You mention that motorists are only an issue when you cross the street. Have you ever thought about the ratio of the space allocated to lanes for cars versus the space allocated to everyone else? It sounds like city planners over the years have allocated a far too large a portion of public space to cars, forcing pedestrians and scooters, among others, to compete over what’s left.

I work as a city planner, and experience this constantly. The space allocated to cars makes everyone else fight and compete over the small share that’s left, and none asks why we aren’t all demanding that space be reallocated from cars to other modes of transport instead of cramming everybody in the pedestrian pathways.

If there was space available in a separated bike lane, most scooters would likely prefer riding there instead of on the pavement. But if they have to share the space with 2 ton steel projectiles, then most take their chances with the pedestrians. It’s all a question of what a municipality chooses to prioritize when it comes to allocating public space.

My guess is The pink mosque in Shiraz, Iran. It’s famous for the use of colors. If visited at the right time of day, the sunlight will filter through colored glass windows to create a kaleidoscope of colors. Check the photos in the wiki article, there are plenty of photos of the inside of you search around.

If you like this kind of architecture, you should absolutely look into Naqsh-e-Jahan square in Isfahan, Iran. It’s an unreal public space that transports you to a different time, truly spectacular and unique architecture.

Having a high intelligence level shouldn’t mean you owe anybody to ‘make it big’, regardless of what that means.

In 2010, Kim denied the idea of being a “failed genius.” “I’m trying to tell people that I’m happy the way I am. But why do people have to call my happiness a failure?” He added, “Some think that high IQ people can be omnipotent, but that’s not true. Look at me, I don’t have musical talent nor do I excel at sports. […] Society shouldn’t judge anyone with unilateral standards – everyone has different learning levels, hopes, talents and dreams and we should respect that”.

Solitary confinement is torture. That guy just felt it to be less torturous than being with the general population. Which is quite a commentary on the horrors of the prison environment when you think about it.

Pretty sure there are more constructive things you could do with the time you’re wasting rather than watching ads. Hell, it doesn’t even need to be constructive, there are more entertaining things you could do.

I assume OP meant fascism that’s directed internally towards the home population. Like Orwell wrote, the way of life of the population at home is predicated on the continued fascist exploitation of non white people abroad.

A joke, it indicates a joke made by a stand up. You know, comedy. It’s not a confession of deeply held beliefs, jfc.

Really? I wonder who Gazans and people from the west bank voted for in the last Israeli elections. Right, they’re under the control of Israeli occupation but can’t vote in the democracy, all millions of them. But you know, it’s also the only country in the world that explicitly states that it’s the country of all Jews in the world and not its citizens’. Remarkably democratic in fact, so democratic that it redefines democracy as ethno-supremacy.

Mandelson was sacked because of the release of the birthday book by Epstein’s estate, not by the government. The government did a “release” before that, but it looks like just a couple per cent was anything new. When people call for info to be released, they’re probably most likely asking the government that’s supposedly working for the people, not the paedo king’s estate.

The assumption is perhaps that the estate has zero interest in releasing stuff damaging to themselves, while the government theoretically should be different.

Theoretically is the operative word here, at least for me. The government is staffed by the paedo king’s associates, and they are never releasing anything. So there’s never going to be anything released worth chewing and swallowing.

But it is entertaining to watch Trump not be in control of the narrative and squirm

Thai and Iranian. That’d cover a large spectrum of what I like.

Chichewa speakers were the people having trouble distinguishing the two when I was there, at least when it comes to words from other languages. I know that they can pronounce both R and L, they just often swapped the sounds
