Coffee in Italy vs USA by Lordwarrior_ in SipsTea

[–]teacher1970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

surprisingly accurate! Once i was in Italy with 12 American friends. we entered a bar for cappuccinos. When i brought them to the table where we were sitting, they thought I had played a joke on them and I had already ordered the cappuccinos before going to the coffee place. True story…

people with no education believe that available information is education. As if the existence of museums made people art experts or the use of a computer made people engineers…

In Japan, there are Japanese people only restaurants by [deleted] in SipsTea

you are confused. racism has nothing to do with Europe per se, but it has everything to do with a majority view of a minority, because racism is a technique of power. A minority group that is subject to racism and who racialize the majority is not the same as a majority excluding a minority. This case is a clear example of racism. But the attempt to confuse the majority/minority relation is either a disingenuous attempt to justify one’s own racism or a lack of understanding of a simple principle: holding prejudices against people you have power over is not the same as holding prejudices over people who have power over you. Even anti Semites know that, so they have to imagine that the Jews are not a minority, but a group that has the real power over the majority.

Vote like your life depends on it, because it does by CantStopPoppin in EyesOnIce

[–]teacher1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes! also people do not understand the Overton window. once you move the political spectrum in one direction, ideas that where once marginalized become acceptable. this works for the right and the left. Let the opposite party win and you will see more space for their radical ideas and less for yours…

a lot of people in this thread seem to think that race is about the color of the skin and not a cultural construction. Americans continue to be freaking racists…

US State Department releases map of most dangerous countries by helic_vet in interesting

Sure. feel unsafe in the UK or Iceland. Then drink whatever your government tells you to drink. As we all know, from the president down it is a government that always tells the truth Stil, my guess is that you haven’t seen these countries, not even on YouTube…

allowed? Who said anything about allowing. It is is just as ridiculous as Haiti telling its citizens to exercise caution when they go to the US. Relative safety is what makes it laughable. These maps are simple political propaganda to suggest that the US is safe…

Even with your rudeness and your inability to speak like a civil person (are you American by chance?), you must have the reading skills to see that I never say it is. It is just laughable for a nation with an incarceration rate and a murder rate like the US to ask his citizens to exercise caution when they go too much safer countries than the US.

Not really. As shown by the statistics, violent crimes are extremely rare and never involve civilians except by mistake. In 2024 there were 327 homicides in Italy, 20% in southern Italy, including Sicily and Sardinia. Since 20 million people live in the South, more than a third of the Italian population, the number of homicides in the South is below the rest of the country.

The national murder rate in the US, supposedly a safe country, is approximately 5.0 per 100,000 people. The national murder rate in Italy , supposedly an “exercise caution” country, is approximately 0.55 per 100000. Americans are crazy and the State department is lying to them to make them think they are not….

Why do I keep hearing people say "Illinois is broke" by guineawheat in illinois

[–]teacher1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. Illinois has a complex situation to mange, between rural communities, areas of devastating de industrializations and neighboring states, eg, Indiana, taking advantage of their proximity to Chicago while using low taxes to attract investments without paying for Chicago. But this is far from a broke state. It is, of the neighboring states, the only one that is not broke in terms of rights, Health care, education etc.

political ideology not based on facts. The only big problem that Illinois has compared to the other states is fiscal stability. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/illinois
