This is stupid. Tomatoes aren't native to India and chillies aren't native to China, doesn't mean those ingredients aren't legitimate to use in those cuisines. If you want to critique elitist European gastronomy then you should talk about how the French can't bear to eat anything that doesn't come from a dead animal or how elitist and condescending towards food from non-European cultures many Whites are.

i'm glad you get that, we should all have it and more <3

Why do you assume I'm talking about the USA? Seems very Americabrained. Much of the world is not able to feed its own population and has to import a great deal of food. My country imports around half. In the event of global famine and caloric shortfall due to the consequences of climate change (eminently possible by 2040), what is going to stop famine for billions if capitalism and imperialism continue to exist? What is going to stop a state and political order that is becoming openly authoritarian and reactionary from carrying out genuine atrocities on a large scale to manage this crisis? You don't seem to have grasped how serious climate change is.

Every politician should actively live in fear of their constituents

that's all you need to say tbh. even in a socialist society those who are entrusted with leadership should be afraid of the consequences of screwing up.

yea lol people clearly still aren't grasping how terrible things are going to get soon if they think the Great Chinese Famine compares. it's not anti-natalism to not want your own child to have to go through that!

antisemitism in the west has been so diluted and lied about that i genuinely find it difficult to take seriously now, especially in light of a jewish-supremacist genocide and a movement in my own country to have people opposing that genocide locked up or deported. like, Jews in most western countries are doing fine. there is no structural racism against them, individual acts of antisemitism get dealt with effectively (and anti-zionism is treated using the same laws and procedures too). 99% of claims of antisemitism in the US seem to come from middle class Jews and Christians complaining that somebody reminded them Palestine exists and they found it "traumatic", or from actual extremist zionists who carry their sick ideology to its logical conclusion and say shit about how Jews "aren't native to Europe" or whatever.

there's a "Prime Directive" that you should never talk about how someone else might be trans to them because it plants a seed of doubt that transitioning was not their own idea.

this seems like ridiculous bs. anyone who is trans and needs to transition will likely have their doubts erased as and when they start transitioning and realise it's what they needed all their life.

western europe has always been gung-ho for war on the asiatic horde, eastern europe was broadly shocked by the outbreak of war so near to their own borders in 2022 and latent russophobia helped to turn that into bloodlust for a while, now large sectors of many eastern european nations (especially Polish and Romanian small farmers and proles who are threatened respectively by the influx of cheap agricultural products and cheap Ukrainian labour) are turning against the Ukrainian cause in some ways
