Also I hate this trend of censoring fucking profanity.
No offense, but it’s cos of Americans.

Speaking as a person of Asian descent, no one really cares about the Jews in that part of the world as much as the West does. Imperial Japan saw Jews-- who are mostly Germans–as, well, Germans. There are too few Jews in the Far East to make an impression on East Asians. Anti-Semitism is more like West/Middle East thing. That being said, I feel like anti-Semitism is a hate fad that has gone on for far too long. I get that it started when Jesus wasn’t recognised as the messiah and Christians hated that, but it was a long time ago. And there are other minority groups who had been persecuted in the past, but now less so compared to the intensity that anti-Semitism has.
I’m not saying that other persecuted groups have had it better-- anyone persecuted is still persecuted-- but there seems to be a far lingering hate fad on Jews. The Irish and Italians in America were discriminated but now not so much. The Jews happen to be very affluent and intelligent, and therefore accused of “secretly running the world”, but Asians are also stereotyped as nerds, tend to take STEM jobs which afford them more flexible social mobility, but no one accuses the latter of also secretly running the world.

Let me tell you, Western women put make up much lighter than East Asian women.
Depends on what you mean by “winning”. Some up votes are agreement that the comment makes the most sense; while others are because of hive mind mentality.
Arguably, the 90s had been the most peaceful (with the exception of few conflicts) and most prosperous decade. The world was just coming out from the spectre of the cold war as a result of collapse of communism, and globalisation is ramping up with many countries signing free trade agreements. But if you ask me, the 00s is arguably more peaceful and more prosperous decade than the 90s, because there were fewer conflicts and we’re enjoying the full peak economic prosperity of globalisation and free trade. However, globalisation is mismanaged and we were living in borrowed time during the era as deregulation of free trade led us to the Great Recession. And now we’re in downward spiral since with economic austerity having been applied; more conflicts spewing again; and nativist counterculture is trying to reverse globalisation.
Honestly, if I want dopamine hit from social media or forums, I prefer to get replies. I like discussions and see other people’s opinions.

Religion is a powerful bitch.
Nostalgia is a bitch that lies to you that the past is better, when it’s not.
Found the evil one.
Yeah, some people are genuinely natural born killers. I was watching a documentary by Morgan Freeman (yes, god himself) on religion and the problem of evil. He interviewed a murderer who is sentenced to lifelong imprisonment. And the killer knows he did wrong but just doesn’t feel bad about it at all. CT scan of his brain showed that part of the brain linked to empathy is not active on him. So yes, unfortunately some people are just evil.
I don’t think it was social democracy in India under Nehru. If I’m not mistaken, Nehru’s policies were further left than social democracy but I am willing to be corrected.
Edit: I forgot to mention, the Indian state of Kerala elects a socialist party since the independence of India, and have successfully uplifted the standards of living in its population with free housing and education etc, but people there are emigrating because there aren’t any jobs.
Some argue that the true democratic socialism has been achieved in India under Nehru. He was a socialist and the Indian economy was heavily regulated and many industries were government-owned. I’m not sure of the specifics but that hasn’t worked out well for many years. There is a reason why the news that India “liberalising” its economy in 1990s was big and seen as historical. Many credit India’s continuing growth from the liberalisation of the 90s. But some things have been relaxed too much imo.
Then fuck him as well.
Because fuck you if you are tankie apologist.
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I don’t think she’s that hot.
On the one hand, others pointed out that it could also be an acquired trait from watching streamers censoring themselves to prevent de-monitisation. Though I admit that I’m a millennial who grew up in a very profane Internet environment and people didn’t take things too seriously, unlike today. So there could be generational differences going on.
