Gum posted:The only thing that's really changed is what is considered "The Nation". We have seen a new nation form since the second world war, one that transcends state lines. This nation is sometimes called "The West", other times "The First World" or "The Global North". This is the nation that is the focus of both neoliberalism and modern fascist movements I um really don't think that's true. Otherwise you'd have the Kippers welcoming Polish people over here with open arms, instead of, y'know, that other thing they actually do.

Gum posted:Ask a Kipper if Polish people are "Western" and then ask the same question about a group of immigrants that Kippers do not take issue with, such as Americans or Australians It is definitely 'the first world' and 'the global north'. If you're going to say 'English speakers' instead then sure I guess but that's a different argument and I'm not sure it makes any sense to say they consider the anglosphere to be a 'nation'. Aaaaaalso, even if we are talking about the anglosphere, try asking them what they think about the Irish.

At least at the moment I have the benefit of state redundancy to the maximum amount. Work for a software company. No import/export issues because no physical goods and the pound going through the floor is actually good for you if your customers are paying in dollars.

WhatEvil posted:It's kind of an interesting thing because in some BAME communities there is a hierarchy of 'blackness' where (depending on the community/culture/class etc.) being light or dark skinned is seen as being more desirable. Being dark skinned is seen as being more desirable pretty much nowhere tbh but yes the other thing is a thing, brown paper bag test etc; I've heard of US universities where there's one sorority for the lightskinned women and another for the darker skinned. To white Americans, ofc, black is black.

I've always gotten NHS stuff for the same price as a British citizen whenever I needed it. Lucky you. Access to the NHS costs my wife £100 a year, on top of what she pays in taxes of course (and that got doubled just after she renewed her visa most recently, iirc)

I mean, specifically, Eve Online which is dominated by our offspring Goonswarm and some of us itt have played in the past. And yes, Chinese gold farmers were definitely a thing back in the way, though that wasnt credit card fraud so much as botting.

I'm guessing he was sleeping with other women behind her back? Or promising her a committed relationship in bad faith so he could get into her pants. But we only have her side of it from that and, yeah, she uses a lot of very florid language which i find kind of offensive to actual abuse survivors to...not actually lay out a clear grievance.
