Which would be reasonable seeing as how I'm not a desperate braggart.

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

I can tell the difference between London and Paris too. But you ride the metro and it’s the same m and m collection of people on the tube or the NY Subway.

And Asian people generally do look like Asians but they all look alike is an old racist trope that’s probably still alive in Europe. Are you arguing two Asian people equal two European cities?

Anyway, it’s not an opinion that I was sorry to see how non-exotic the bits of Europe I’ve been lucky enough to see. My reaction was like oh it seems like New York. In Seoul I was like hell yes this is different. Then take a place like Kathmandu, it’s like balls deep different.


I will admit that India is the most multicultural place I’ve ever been to and none of it looks western except for the trains the Brits built for them. They use the same underground sign.

Question: Would the world be a better place if every country were multicultural?

I think it’s cool that different countries have different cultures and do things different ways.

And yeah frown I’m a nazi. Good point.

Or if, perchance, you actually haven’t really ever done anything very interesting.

Sounds like tacitly supporting Islamic extremism as a local novelty in order to make the world a more fun zoo for colonizer tourists to me.

Just making sure that the crux of your posts are made clear for everyone since you keep lyin and ****.

Not having done anything interesting is generally what desperate bragging is for.

That's a legit good argument but my traveling days are done.

Except tacitly means on the DL.

Do I not come right out and say it?

Need I be more direct?

If you’re an old **** living in the past like I am that’s kind of true. Except I really did ****. But ... a long time ago.
