Correct. Its a safe space for white Americans where they can know their privilege still counts.

They’re actually good for the exact reason you provided: they encourage women to do exactly what you said you do.

Sure some people are there to party. Others want to be seen. But the overall message is that they too can advocate aggressively for themselves and shouldn’t be accepted of things because “that’s just the way they are”.

Re: cruises

A certain kind of windjammer cruise is awesome. You work on the ship, hoisting the mainsail at a minimum, up to working most of the day if you want to. The cook cooks your meals maybe on an old-fashioned wood cook stove. You learn how to do projects related to ship maintenance, like turning old rope into a nose bumper for a skiff, how to coil and tie off a line, etc.

Two of the European river cruises that I think would be nice are the biking along a river one, and the drive your own flat boat in Holland (I think) one.

If clothing is unimportant why do you think microbet would care how his daughter’s bf is clothed?

Not big enough rolling eyes emoticon to reflect how silly this take is.

When it comes to eugenics your current place of abode can knock Switzerland into a cocked hat:

Until now, the Czech government has not officially acknowledged or compensated Roma women such as GorolovĂĄ for a government-led eugenics agenda from the early 1970s until it was officially abolished in 1993. No one knows how many women were affected. The European Roma Rights Centre says hundreds of women were systematically sterilised throughout the 1990s with the last-known case as recently as 2007.

CNN acting shocked 90 year old royals are racist.

I’m not surprised the Royal Family is racist, I’m mildly surprised at how racist Britain at large is.

The Czech Republic doesn’t pretend to be tolerant and accepting of all. If anything, they take pride in not being that way.

Several of my students recently replaced their email account picture with a Pepe the Frog photo. So yeah, even the “progressive” people in this country tend to be pretty deplorable regarding their opinions of some groups (most notably black people, Muslims and Roma).

Really!?!? They were the biggest and most successful colonialism power of all time.

From afar that’s understandable of course.

But for someone who got angry with a couple of close colleagues to the point of putting them down when they started using racist epithets for black people in the late 80s, it’s never a surprise. The “middle mass” here have pretty sick values, even if they had to hide them from the 90s onwards.

A decaying empire is jet fuel to ‘othering’. The mixture of misplaced pride from past dominance and overblown (but legit) fear of future submission sends people insane. As the American empire crumbles further you’ll see it more and more.

Maybe people here in the US will stop pretending that the royals are some magical fairytale family and we can go back to following the Kardashians or whatever.

They could all use some calming, stress-relieving eucalyptus spearmint body wash and a relaxing sandalwood & lemongrass scented candle.
