    If you've invited a lib into your apartment, it's entirely on you. Don't be surprised if they start colonizing your apartment and call it "Aid" or "Democracy" or something.

      Yeah, it's like inviting a vampire into your home and then being surprised when it tries to drink your blood.

      If you don't invite a lib in, they're bound by arcane laws of civility to stay out.

    I can't tell people not to I touch things in my apartment? Fucking what?

    Don't these people worship property and ownership?

      Only as a convenient vehicle for dominating their surroundings. The moment it conflicts with what they want they snap.

      They worship their own property. The property of non-white people is being misused or underutilized, and therefore it is their right and responsibility to take control of it.

      They care about property, not possessions. It's why they're anti-piracy even if you're only using your own possessions to do it.

      The thing about western individualism is the ethos is “fuck you, no one tells ME what to do!”

      The keyword is ME. Individualism is thinking rules are beneath you, but hypocritically, rules should only apply to other people.

    This is the stupidest take on hospitality I've ever seen. This person needs to be beaten over the head with a copy of Derrida's "On Hospitality" until they become unconscious or learn something, whichever happens first.

    As a cracker, when I enter someone's house I immediately go to their couch and begin rubbing my dirty shoes into it while yelling "fuck your couch!"

      Do some crackers actually wear their outside shoes in bed? I see it in movies sometimes and it's such an absurd annoying detail.

          I did it once as a kid because I was so excited to go on a trip. I went to bed in my clothes, all picked out. Shoes on. Ready to face the day. So excited I could barely sleep.

          We of course left the house one hour later than intended because my family are perpetually tardy.

          And that's the origin story of my villain arc.

    I will simply not be friends with anyone whose idea of comfort is shoes on in the house. Freakish behaviour.

    Why do they not want to take off their shoes when they're someones' place? I don't understand the weird hills these jackass white libs want to die on.

    People of colonial complexion apparently have a different definition of what is "rude". In any Latin American country I know, for example, "rude" is doing whatever you want in other people's homes. What to expect from a culture that normalizes staying in bed with shoes on. And if you're supposed to act like you're at home wherever you are, why leave your house?

      it's the individualization of the mindset of colonialism. so at least they're being consistent here.

      Well you see, the cumskins are correct, which is why they had to go all over the planet to tell brown people how wrong and barbaric their version of hospitality is. If white people's customs aren't objectively correct, how come all the other cultures are inferior?

      To be real I thought the expectation was always "someone else's house, their rules" and this article is alarming. Despite being in kkkanada I was raised to obey the rules of whoever's house I am at, it is their space.

      What else to expect from settler ''culture''. For them it's about doing whatever they want at someone else's house and expense. Like huf said, at least it's consistent.
