And we've also talked about this before, but European cities do NOT look the same.

Well - Belfast London and Paris are basically Pittsburgh and New York and DC

We can use different barometers about what constitutes a real difference but it’s just western generic ****

People 'belonging' somewhere because of their ethnicity is a ****ed up idea.

How colonial of you.

this is the least anarchist thing I've ever read lol

Who cares? I’m not interested in opposing western values on the world.

travel dominance

Damn skippy

there's problems pretty much everywhere over these dumb dumb borders...they're literally drawn on a "well these people look the same to us" basis

Go cross some of them.

Wow. Time passes. How deep.

Japan and Korea both remain fiercely homogeneous. Sorry they’re not falling in-line with your liberal cultural imperialism.

American diversity and democracy everywhere! We’re number one!

You can take the man out of Georgia but you can't stop him from cutting eyeholes in his bedsheets.

In some ways but not on identity ****. Check their demographics.

Go find out yourself.

Yes because I think the rest of the world should govern themselves.

And because I’ve actually lived and worked as an ethnic minority for years in their country, their culture, and their economy.

I doubt you’ve ever even lived in a non-white section of America.

It's not a matter of different barometers, it's simply not true, just like it's not true that all Asian people look alike (you can say everything is relative and all that blah but that's bull**** in this context). If you drop me in London or Paris I can tell you which one it is within a second, and that's not me being skilled at such things. Each European city has a strong specific identity.

And you can call my dismissal of nationalism 'colonial', but that doesn't make it less true

Huh, I'm surprised that the nazi is using an example of an axis power whose culture was wholly changed by living under the gunpoint of american imperialists as the prime example of an ideal homogeneous culture. Any contortion to justify genocide, I suppose.

I doubt your claims as well.

I don’t remember you making any claim to the contrary.

I’ll take your word at face value.
