Speaking as a person of Asian descent, no one really cares about the Jews in that part of the world as much as the West does. Imperial Japan saw Jews-- who are mostly Germans–as, well, Germans. There are too few Jews in the Far East to make an impression on East Asians. Anti-Semitism is more like West/Middle East thing. That being said, I feel like anti-Semitism is a hate fad that has gone on for far too long. I get that it started when Jesus wasn’t recognised as the messiah and Christians hated that, but it was a long time ago. And there are other minority groups who had been persecuted in the past, but now less so compared to the intensity that anti-Semitism has.

I’m not saying that other persecuted groups have had it better-- anyone persecuted is still persecuted-- but there seems to be a far lingering hate fad on Jews. The Irish and Italians in America were discriminated but now not so much. The Jews happen to be very affluent and intelligent, and therefore accused of “secretly running the world”, but Asians are also stereotyped as nerds, tend to take STEM jobs which afford them more flexible social mobility, but no one accuses the latter of also secretly running the world.

Books discussing about the horrors of the Holocaust is “adult”, I guess.

Lmao

You may be right. We just saw how Russia performed in the war in Ukraine despite the prior years of flexing lol. It’s not impossible to believe that the North Korean military is the same.

Lemmy has the least shills and bots

Because it’s not popular yet. Wait until it becomes so and the inevitable enshittification happens.

A free trip for defection for North Koreans!

Me who still irons clothes

Whenever someone tries to proselytise you, just tell them why would a benevolent god test you by killing your family member who hasn’t done anything wrong? A friend of mine, whose father passed away from cancer when my friend was nine years old, said this to a Mormon missionary. And the missionary was stumped to this questioning.

Let me tell you, Western women put make up much lighter than East Asian women.

It’s just UAE, not Middle East.

Depends on what you mean by “winning”. Some up votes are agreement that the comment makes the most sense; while others are because of hive mind mentality.

I will leave this here.

Honestly, if I want dopamine hit from social media or forums, I prefer to get replies. I like discussions and see other people’s opinions.

A long but interesting read!

Ignore the us vs them narrative that tend to dominate the news on migration and look at the bigger picture:

MIGRATION WILL ONLY GET WORSE WITH HUMAN-INDUCED CLIMATE CHANGE

Governments and pharmas don’t intentionally create new diseases to make money.

Religion is a powerful bitch.

I remember the US Airforce chief in 2017 suggesting that the US should have their own troll army. I guess that’s now implemented.

Many questioned what drives evolution when Charles Darwin introduced it. Nobody knows until 80 years later, DNA has finally been visualised, which confirmed and reinforced the theory of evolution.

Also, what do you mean “God”? Why do you assume there is only one “god”? It is funny that the ancients would say “gods” (Hindus and other poytheists still do so) but now with monotheistic proselytisation or forced conversion, half the world say “god”. So which god are you referring to? What if other gods are real and yours isn’t? Abrahamic practioners say like it is a checkmate when-- if you take science out of the debate-- there are other religions who say their deities are real, and their religious beliefs and claim of how the universe was made are correct and yours isn’t. I can’t remember the name of the medieval European philosopher but he also saw how religions contradict each other arrived to the same conclusion that religions must not be real; long before modern atheists even thought the same.
