@NoerholtDK@EdOverRay@clippedbykali I get what you mean now. The main point was 1.2 IDR is a tough price in Indonesia for a video game regardless of what it exchanges to in USD
@NoerholtDK@EdOverRay@clippedbykali That’s why I differentiated from the minimum and what is considered comfortable. Also unlike the U.S., people in Indonesia actually make the minimum wage and often below it depending on their labor
@CharlesDurk@EdOverRay He lives in Nigeria with a similar economy and dollar system. I think he understands that fact and people are jumping him for no reason just because he can’t explain it eloquently
@NoerholtDK@EdOverRay@clippedbykali Yea that’s literally what I said, it’s not about the exchange rate it’s about the economy. Their economy is not stable
@EdOverRay For the ppl confused people in Jakarta, Indonesia on average make about $5-15 mil per month this is the equivalent of an American making $64k yearly spending $600 on a video game, not $66
@CharlesDurk@EdOverRay You don’t understand how currencies work. An Average American makes $66 USD or 1.2 IDR in a few hours, while the average citizen of Jakarta makes that same amount in half a week. Meaning $66 USD makes the game an unattainable luxury item for many
@NoerholtDK@EdOverRay@clippedbykali Yea his point is it’s not stable. The minimum monthly salary in Jakarta (the highest in their economy) is 5.7 mil, and reports show you need 15 mil monthly to lead a comfortable life there. 1.2 mil is only equivalent in to 66 USD in terms of exchange. Not functionality
Lowkey and I mean this as no shade whatsoever a lot of leftists gotta learn how to talk to people man. Like sometimes you just gotta meet the people where they are (only those truly acting in good faith) because I promise you calling folks idiots and shit aint gone-
@USApatriot350@perlaspuss@chrisisclueless@kissaysha significantly larger amount of Latino immigrants than Asian immigrants so their barring is more aggressive to compensate. If you look up H1B though, you’ll see the government is making it harder for Indians to enter, likely because they’re seeing too many Indian migrants
@USApatriot350@perlaspuss@chrisisclueless@kissaysha -to maintain their status. The west coast is just a tech and tech is manufactured in Asia. It’s not like that for Asians where I live. Also for the pathways, I would guess it has more to do with numbers. A white supremacist’s greatest fear is being outnumbered and there are a-
@USApatriot350@perlaspuss@chrisisclueless@kissaysha The thing is I don’t see class solidarity and racial solidarity as directly intertwined. I have more in common socially with an Asian person that works at a nail salon than a Black person who works at Palantir. Every minority race has sects of upper class people that tapdance-
