Don't forget Fascism based on religion.
Israel and America are trying to wrestle for that one, too
Israel's got us beat by a lot, man. In the US we have grasps for religious power (some successful) but it doesn't describe everyone in government
Go to Utah. The Mormon church has a lot more influence on politics, than people want to admit?
Ohh I'm very aware of SLC. I'm speaking of the country as a whole, though
There sadly are even more countries that are completely under control of religious leaders. Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, Afghanistan, .... Vatican City (they even have something like their own military).
The Abraham Wars
Or scams!
I think I missed the "mysticism and spirituality" period. Twenty years ago I knew India for cows, castes, and crap in the rivers.
You may be too young for Depak Chopra.
He specifically said he thought of it as being full of shit.
On the bright side, you need a tech tutorial, they've got your back.
Yeah, but it's often in the form of a YouTube video with narration that's not always so easy to understand. I miss written tutorials, but most of the good ones I find these days tend to come from Central/Eastern European forum posts.
Germany f*d up so bad we're still using them as a meme after most of a century. Never go full Germany.
I guess Germany after the 30's (and maybe even after 1919), France after the whole Revolution and Napoleon thing, the UK after voting to KEKW their economy, Norway after being ruled by Sweden... The list probably goes on
Which french revolution? ;) There's lots of people who saw and still see the whole french revolution thing as a net positive. The UK has never had a good proper revolution and it shows.
Napoleon did a lot of things, but those bad things were in line with the absolutist rulers from before the revolution, he just happened to be more successful at it. But he also did many good things during his rule. Fe, the Napoleonic code was hugely influential worldwide and a major change for the good. 2 centuries later it doesn't hold up as well in the countries that still use the same justice system, but for it's time, it was really good. Overall, I'd say Napoleon still has a stellar reputation, unlike India.
How was Norway worse after they last gained independence from Sweden?
never had a good proper revolution
Are you forgetting or discounting the English Revolution and Glorious Revolution?
This is insanely relevant to me right now. I left India in 2004 and I am there right now for my cousins wedding. I legit hate it everywhere I look. Love my family, but idk if I want to come back.
Hello unkill
4chan is gonna know the world through the perspective of an average 4chan user.
Rapists and shit being India's image is far, far from being exclusive to anons on 4chan...
Also the land of abhorrent javascript horrors.
Never forget the Designated Shitting Streets
Thought to myself "San Francisco isnt a country"
mysticism and spirituality
You mean scammers like Sadhguru and Deepak Chopra?
To be frank, google's reputation fall pretty significantly in the last 25 years.
Not a country yet
Google had a revenue of 305.6 billion dollars in 2023.
That's more than the GDP of Finland, the 48th largest economy in the world.
Good luck with this post OP lmao
edit: Did way better than I expected. Maybe I think too poorly of Lemmings
So we switched from exotic fetichizing orientalism toward casual racism? Sounds like two pieces of the same coin.
Yeah things are pretty bad here. People lack even basic civic sense. I've always felt like an outsider.
I mean it took India two decades, and even then it isn't all of their reputation. It took Israel 4 months.
That reminds me... I have to try Indian food sometime. It looks good, but I like to try food made by someone who knows what they're doing before making it myself, so I can tell if I did a good job or not and there aren't many Indian places 'round here.
To be fair, no one believes in Mysticism anymore...
Observe.
Neopagans are dumber than Evangelical Christians, and all their manufactured rituals just whitewash dead religions that belonged in the dirt.
Went from delusional to schizophrenic.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
