@DanBilzerian I hope Netflix is not also. Thankfully i have very little media outlets. I am definately boycotting jew and zionists. I am already doing so with what i eat. If made in israel or says kosher or halal, just avoid it.
The reason there is so little racism in Japan is simple: Japanese people basically dislike everyone.
Race has nothing to do with it. We just do not want to deal with other human beings.
That is why we carefully follow manners and social rules, so we can avoid bothering one another and keep interaction to a minimum.
This is who Japanese people really are, and it is the complete opposite of Americans.
Forget hugs and handshakes. We do not even want to make eye contact. Ideally, nobody would come within 15 feet of us.
We are already crammed together on this tiny island. Everyone has had enough.
Understanding this is the single biggest key to understanding Japanese people.
In 1526, the king of Kongo wrote to the king of Portugal and begged him to stop the slave trade.
The letters still exist. You can read them.
King Afonso I — Nzinga Mbemba.
He was not a victim of ignorance about Europe. He was literate in Portuguese, Catholic, and had welcomed Portuguese traders as partners. Then he watched what the trade actually did.
He writes that merchants are seizing people every day — nobles, family members, free subjects — and that his country is being emptied. He asks for teachers and doctors instead of ships. He asks, plainly, for it to stop.
Portugal's king replied with a letter pointing out how profitable Kongo's trade was and how little else it had to offer.
The trade continued for another three hundred years and helped destroy the kingdom.
An African head of state put his objection in writing in 1526, in the language of the people doing it, and was told the arithmetic did not work in his favour.
"They didn't know" has never been available as an excuse. The correspondence is in the archives.
Colin Powell’s former chief of staff: ‘We lied about Vietnam. We lied about Iraq. We lied about Afghanistan. We lied about Somalia. We lied about Libya’
@didengshengwu I recently learned about antinatalism. It is the most rational philosophy. Please adopt it or continue being selfish with you desire of making people feel incompletely because they do not have children. Stop spreading and increasing suffering for more generations to come. No kids
Meet Désiré Kabengele, a Congolese engineer and founder of Desire Tech, turning everyday problems into practical innovations🇨🇩
One of his standout inventions is Kivu Fitness a wooden treadmill that operates without electricity or a motor, powered entirely by the user’s own movement.
But that’s not all. His innovations also include:
1. Congo Recycling turning plastic waste into usable fuel.
2. Agri Africa, developing affordable machinery for small-scale farmers, including a multifunctional mini-tractor developed in 2025.
In 2022, Kabengele was selected by Light RDC among 50 promising young talents in technology.
No electricity. No motor. Just engineering, creativity and determination.
Must Listen to this British Indian Lady. She is saying shitty Pakistan politics are being played in Great Britain. All Mayors are Muslims, and they never do anything for the country. She's hoping people will Wake Up. Grooming gangs from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, an invasion. Listen to this brave lady 👇
🚨 Wood is vastly scarcer than diamonds — Earth remains the only known planet where trees can grow.
Diamonds have long been celebrated as Earth's ultimate symbol of rarity, yet across the cosmos, they are surprisingly common. These sparkling gemstones are formed from pure carbon that has been subjected to intense heat and pressure — a straightforward physical process that occurs abundantly throughout the universe.
In fact, scientists have identified massive diamond deposits in meteorites, suspect that it literally rains diamonds on ice giants like Neptune and Uranus, and have even theorized the existence of entire "diamond planets" like 55 Cancri e.
Wood, by contrast, is a biological material that cannot be created by mere heat and pressure. Its creation literally requires hundreds of millions of years of evolution.
To form, it needs an exceptionally precise combination of life-supporting conditions: liquid water, a stable atmosphere, sunlight for photosynthesis, and millions of years of evolutionary trial and error.
Because Earth is currently the only planet confirmed to harbor life, the common pencil or wooden chair in your home is actually a cosmic anomaly far more unique than any space-faring diamond. This mind-bending contrast completely reshapes how we view the intrinsic value of our planet’s natural resources.
