relevant colonial gaze discourse:
Modern colonial rule relied not only on the military and economic power of conquering nations, but also on domination over forms of cultural representation. The period of Europe’s political expansion, starting in the late fifteenth century, witnessed the development of significant new cultural technologies. From the printing press to photography, film, and sound recording, technical innovations enabled novel ways of documenting and disseminating knowledge about Europe’s encounters with the non-Western world.

Hmm wonder why they're playing a European sport. Ah it's probably not important
The world is there for retired boomers to leisurely explore, like in a movie.
Not gonna lie. Really don't like the vibes of a old rich white guy hanging out with kids from every content.

Oh so guess you have a problem with Santa Clause then???
The guy that knew about Jeffrey Esptine and didn't say anything? Yeah, HR should be checking the files on his elves.
Gee, I wonder if imperialism and white people forcing capitalism on these countries is why all these countries are the same now?
Nah it must be multiculturalism.
Also 'free of hate' implies the nationalist route is hate filled?
IDK this is stupid lol
Yeah, and on top of that the left column is just showing off commodified cultural tourism stuff where everyone's smiling at him because it's in their material best interest to do so (not that the people who work jobs like that are so cynical they'd never genuinely smile while interacting with a tourist since even tourists can still be affable and pleasant to others on occasion, but "greasy middle aged racist in business casual out to 'experience culture'" is not someone anyone would willingly smile at), while the right column is literally just cities where people are going about their own business instead of putting on a show for tourists from the imperial core.
The whole thing's just a big mess of brainworms that can't even conceive of people in the periphery as anything but at-best some exotic scenery to gawk at when on vacation, and any life they have that isn't for the sake of western tourists is somehow wrong and infuriating. They can't even make their propaganda anything other than "I'd like to look at them and be served by them, but they have to stay far away and exotic or I will demand they be violently punished for existing," and they think that's putting their fascist nonsense in a good light.
I imagine one could fill volumes with analysis and commentary on that strain of racist brainworm.
Yeah, even "the West" is inherently a product of multiculturalism. Just look at the English language with mish mash of Latin, German, and French influences.
The predominant religion of the West comes from the Middle East. It's writing system comes from the Italian peninsula and it's numerals are from India.
Hell, half of the Greek classics that the racists jizz their pants over would have been lost to history if it weren't for Arab scholars preserving and studying those works.
It's basically impossible to distil one country's "culture" to a pure form by removing all "multicultural" influences.
1500 - 2005 AD: globalism good
2005 - 2021 AD: globalism bad
I'm sorry. I am as much against racism as anyone else but we simply have to do an ethnic cleansing for tourism's sake.
BTW: The people who go on about how people needs to stay in each their own countries are the same people who have a breakdown about every perceived persecution of white people. Throwing white farmers out of Zimbabwe should be just their thing but for some reason it isn't.
Usually, their unsaid MO whenever they say "everyone should stick to their 'homelands'" is "filthy coloreds should stay where they are while whites do as they please".
I like that in this ethno-nationalist world this dude can travel freely
I got this sent to me by a /pol/yp and it might genuinely be the dumbest shit I've ever seen LMAO
yea this is like a decade old at least
the original was just the left hand part
It's such a confused message. "Ethnonationalism is good because it stops people from becoming nazis, which is bad. The only way to end racism is by doing racism"
I saw this on there years ago and I was like "right on bro!!" but I feel really stupid about it now lmao
"Because you've made a world free of hate, you've forced me to become a Nazi."
That grass isn't going to touch itself.
...There's probably a better way to phrase that.
That's why it's so fucking weird. The only kind of person who would make this shit is the kind of weird alt-right fuck who has obviously never done anything.
where is history, culture, heritage

I have learned nothing
imagine being more unscientific than people 200 years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_materialism
why do I feel like I don't belong anywhere
nazi reptilians: "wtf I hate this zoo I have constructed for domesticated liberals who sold their soul"
Maybe you'd enjoy your second trip more if you did stuff instead of pouting and seething
