Bratislava’s barely visible pedestrian crossings also tripped me the fuck out when I was there but then I realized you can actually cross wherever it’s convenient because drivers are not out to kill you.

You know the answers to all of those questions.

No mystery here.

You’re saying that like it’s a win for you. It’s not.

You can hate two things.

Fun fact: the word barbarians has an extremely racist origin. It’s how the Greeks called everyone who spoke what they deemed gibberish (not-Greek) because, according to them, it sounded like “bar bar bar bar”.

Oh, wow. No, buddy. No. Asshole is a far cry from Nazi.

Why yes, I’m am pissy at white people. You thinking that pointing it out is some kind of “ah-ha” moment just showcases obliviousness. I do believe you’re at least curious to understand, though. Unfortunately, explaining it would require a longer response than I’m willing to type right now so I’ll leave you with some links:

Basically, white people getting involved into the problems of non-white societies very often leads to erasure and colonialism.

I know it’s hard to accept it, but it’s been a while since my people haven’t had to listen to your people.

Are you asking me to?

This isn’t the Internet. This is Lemmy, which skews male and white.

I could be 24/7 on Lemmy and still do less harm for the environment than Greta ever will by simply just existing. You need to let go of your internalized racism.

Successful for whom? You do see the problem, right?

To add to this: You do see the irony in replying to a post about white activism and its hypocrisy with “well, activism works better when white people get involved”? Right? RIGHT?

One time, at a party in my house, a guy chugged his bear and then immediately started Macgyvering a pipe with the can. I was like “oh, been a while since I’ve seen anyone do that. Should I just get him some rolling paper?”. And then he put meth on the can.

I went to Kafka’s house in Prague and they had The Country Doctor in several languages. I wanted it as a souvenir so I bought it in the original German even though I don’t speak German. I also wanted to read it, though, so I bought an English copy too, assuming the translation would be closer than to Spanish, my native language. But I also wanted to gift it to an old teacher, so I bought it in Spanish, as well. My girlfriend then arrived and told me she would like a Swedish copy since she’s learning the language. I went to pay and the girl at the counter immediately goes “oh, wow, you speak so many languages”.
