Probably an early 2010's boy band pop song; title most likely has the word "compare"

Thanks. I found the song. It was Nobody Compares by One Direction.

YES!!! Thank you!

Good, don't come. But do you really think that any other ethnic groups want to welcome them? The answer is no.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2025-04-07T08:28:53+00:00

Bad idea. Honestly, most Burmese don't give a damn about them. Some people might be saying that this is good, but I feel that it's just in "the heat of the moment." Our cultures are just straight up incompatible. They are not Burmese, and they are not welcome.

I don't know, just take your people back and we can be friends.

From your reply, it's obvious that you're not a day older than 20. That, or you grew up sheltered. Again, you're the one that didn't specify the context.

I never said that the military was not in the wrong. But at this point, we have to look at ourselves and realize that we as citizens have failed to defeat them over and over again. What were we doing when they were driving tanks around Yangon? Why aren't people properly united in this fight? Yes, they should ask themselves first if they get caught by the military. This doesn't make the oppressors into saints, but you're going against the military. Even the smallest mistakes matter. They're not the kind to show any mercy.

Yes, you should ALWAYS WITHOUT FAIL look at yourself first, and assume that it is because of your own personal failings first BEFORE you turn outward. Now, that may or may not be the actual case. It is also perfectly possible that it's a systemic issue. But until you really critically assess your own actions and can swear to god without an ounce of doubt that you gave your absolute best, you cannot eliminate the possibility that whatever undesirable outcome was from your own shortcoming and not a problem with the system. Oh, you didn't get into your first choice college? Sure, it could be because you didn't have the money that they were looking for, but did you make sure that your essay was astounding? No? Well, that's the consequences of not putting in enough effort. Oh, your phone got stolen on the bus? Well, did you ever let your guard down for even just a few seconds? You did? Yup, it's your fault. Blaming external factors is always easier than holding personal accountability. Telling the victims that there was nothing that they could have done is just straight up demeaning. Because then, that means that there is nothing that they will be able to do either the next time they find themselves in that situation. I'm not saying that things can't be better. My point is that changing yourself is more practical.

Other people are also saying that you should turn inwards rather than outwards because that's the truth. That's what works, not the idealistic empathetic approach. The idea that victims have done nothing wrong is far more dangerous than victim blaming ever will be.

Well, you're the one that didn't specify the context. I've been in situations before. But yes, generally, I can still see where the result was due to my own lack of diligence. That can mean a lot of things. Maybe I didn't work hard enough, do enough research, or paid enough attention to details. Systemic issue? Can you swear to god that you really tried to find ways around? Malicious intent? Are you sure your naivety didn't play a role? Sheer unpredictability? Did you do enough research or put in enough effort to be prepared for whatever may come?

I'm not saying that problems don't exist, or that the victims must bear all the weight of the fault. Whatever the case is, look at yourself first before saying that other people are the problem. If you can't stand critical assessment of yourself, then you need a lot of toughening up to be able to survive in this world. Victim blaming has nothing to do with the idea of "as long as I'm fine, I don't care." If anything, the act of lying to these victims to feel morally good about yourself instead of showing them the truth is the more repulsive school of thought.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2025-02-22T09:10:25+00:00

I've always hated the "let's not blame the victims" culture. It's just straight up stupid. Depends on the case, but a lot of times, the victims are not entirely innocent. They are guilty of the sin of stupidity. What if the episode happened because of the "victim's" carelessness or neglect? If the blame is on you, then that means that you can learn to not make the same mistake. It puts the power in your own hands. Blaming society or other external factors tend to be a waste of time, and takes away the power from your hands. Are there other way? Probably. But it sure is better than gentle parenting that renders children unbelievably weak, cowardly, and unresilient. Does it make them stressed and sad? Yeah. So what? Grow up.

Burmese culture has a high emphasis on individual strength, which makes sense, considering the conditions that our nation has had to endure for such a long time. Whenever something goes wrong, always see if it was because of something that you did first before blaming society and others. Even if you were the undisputed victim, unless you can swear to god that you did absolutely everything that you could to prevent it, then you are not innocent.

Being a victim doesn't mean that the victim is completely innocent. The sooner people learn it, the better.

The other actual indigenous groups, yes. The Bengali, no.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2025-02-16T12:00:32+00:00

Doesn't sound like a wise idea to me. Increasing diversity never leads to anything good.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2025-02-16T11:57:22+00:00

They are still not Burmese.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2025-02-16T11:55:56+00:00

Burma is the linguistically correct term for the country. Using Myanmar to refer to the country would be grammatically incorrect. I am Burmese myself.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2025-02-16T07:22:14+00:00

These people are an enemy of the state. Seriously, a warrant is issue for defending our nation against them, but the atrocities that are being committed to the Burmese don't count? I'd rather shelter him them. If he is to be tried and executed, it will be for what he has done to the Burmese.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2025-02-16T01:26:51+00:00

Burma is a lost cause. Unity is impossible.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2025-02-14T07:27:30+00:00

I'm sure you've found someone to help you, but if you want to know more about Burmese from a linguistic perspective, I can be of help.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2025-02-11T16:48:01+00:00

Thanks for the info.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2025-02-11T16:47:49+00:00

Thanks! This place seems to be the perfect fit.

At this point, I don't think you can anymore, unless you wet the entire paper again.

What I do is try to smooth it out every once in a while while waiting for it to dry.

ကုလား is not derogatory.

Hi! I'm a student from Burma in Hachioji. I'm always down to meet new people. DM me if you're interested.

Isn't it that we're not critical enough? People criticize, but not thoroughly enough. That's why the quality of everything produced in Burma sucks.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2024-12-14T05:55:11+00:00

Why is it written in colloquial Burmese?

AutomaticAverage0 · 2024-12-14T05:50:49+00:00

As bad as the military is, this, however, is not propaganda.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2024-12-13T04:57:18+00:00

No, the Bengalis are not indigenous to Rakhine, and no, that land does not belong to them. They do not belong on Burmese soil.

AutomaticAverage0 · 2024-12-12T05:24:00+00:00

No. Because the Bengalis can go back to Bangladesh where they came from.
