我刚刚在澳门和香港呆了一个星期,这是西方在亚洲的最后两个领地。 在那里,我听到了菲律宾作家 Charlson Ong 的一个印度笑话,“你们英国人认为你们可以来拿我们的印度鸡肉串和唐杜里鸡肉吗? 不,我们陪你!”

殖民主义的一大讽刺是,与殖民者相比,许多被殖民国家设法保持了更加连贯、完整和真实的自己,因此,例如,在印度人赶走英国人七年后,印度本质上仍然是印度,如果并非如此,而英格兰已经变得越来越不那么英语了。 尽管殖民主义及其后果带来了身心上的暴力,摩洛哥、阿尔及利亚、柬埔寨、老挝和越南仍然保留了比法国更多的遗产,这令人难以置信。

Ong和我作为亚太作家和翻译会议的嘉宾在澳门。 为了准备我的旅行,我去 Duolingo 学习了一些葡萄牙语,这是一项完全不必要的任务,因为经过几天在澳门各个街区走了好几英里,我一次都没听过葡萄牙语。

我问一位澳门出生的出租车司机:“你会说葡萄牙语吗?”

“奥布里加多!”

“对羟基苯甲酸酯!”

“这意味着'不客气',对吧?”

在大教堂教区,我确实看到了一些穿着制服的葡萄牙学童,因为澳门葡萄牙学校就在那里。 由于这些 女孩 正坐在长椅上,忙着自己的事,我没有走近去偷听他们嘴里说的话。 新闻,“越美混混在澳门被捕,因将不洁的耳朵对准受惊的白人青少年,目前正在医院康复。”

在阿拉米达 Dr Carlos d'Assumpção 的 Hou Fung Cafe,有一位身材高大的女服务员,看上去是土生土长的人。 其余的员工显然是中国人,所有的顾客也是。 菜单上有“葡萄牙特色菜”,所以我尝试了 bacalhau 和土豆泥砂锅,然后是葡萄牙炒饭,里面有一些葡萄牙香肠、洋葱、西红柿和一个黑橄榄。

会议组织者之一是葡萄牙人 Helder Beja,但他是新移民,在澳门回归中国很久之后才抵达。 街上的白人很可能是游客。 我敢肯定,澳门的菲律宾人比葡萄牙人还多,因为我看到到处都是菲律宾人,在酒店、赌场和酒吧工作。 在以美国为主题的 Roadhouse,有菲律宾调酒师和 菲律宾乐队,演唱 Dire Straits、Eric Clapton 等经典摇滚歌曲。 (旁注:当我们小组的其他人坐在桌子旁时,我发现自己和 Ed 和 Ravi Shankar 一起在酒吧里,虽然我们都不是白人,但我们是美国人,该死的,美国男人倾向于坐在高脚凳上在酒吧。华裔 Ed 出生于底特律,每天从燕麦开始,他不得不在澳门大量购买。)

长久以来的广东城市,澳门现在被 大陆 访客,大部分 省级,根据他们的判断 俗气的 服装,但对于任何地方的大多数赌场游客来说都是如此。 在Rua de São Domingos,我站在一个身穿黑色T恤和运动裤的中年男子身边 天鹅绒画,有着耀眼的黄色太阳、老虎和玫瑰,脖子上挂着一个黑色的大钱包。 一个女人穿着一件鲑鱼色连帽衫,上面印有一个年轻的白人女孩侧身伸出舌头,“你必须在你的生活中远离下水道。 唯一的交易,WITR 喷泉。” 我是不是刚看到白色 T 恤上的黄色美洲虎,上面写着“谢谢 有一个美好的一天”原色? 带有蓬松臂孔的露肩躲猫猫衬衫显然很时尚。 身穿粉色 T 字裤的大个子,“比 SATAN BIEBRE [原文如此] 还要大。” 吃面条,女人 在婴儿车旁边,蹒跚学步的男孩穿着熟悉的军用平头剪裁。

傻子们,他们被宏伟的环境迷住了,所以蜂拥而入赌场挥霍他们辛苦赚来的人民币,或者他们挥霍 闪闪发光的 名牌精品店,一些穿着西装的高大英俊的白色迎宾员。 这些农民睁大眼睛在假宫殿里游荡,很高兴被剥削,所以他们可以回家夸耀自己去过澳门,那里有 公爵宫, 里亚托桥, 圣马克 钟楼, 旺多姆广场, 凯旋门和 艾菲尔铁塔等。他们去过类似的地方 欧洲. 还有美国。 在 兜风,他们可以坐在敞篷车上大口大口地吃汉堡、热狗或正宗的冰淇淋圣代。 他们都看到了。

1966 年 212 月,澳门华人游行示威,反抗他们的葡萄牙霸主。 暴徒推倒了文森特·尼古拉斯·德·梅斯基塔上校的雕像,并折断了其中一位豪尔赫·阿尔瓦雷斯的手臂。 他们撕毁市政厅墙上的油画肖像,将书籍和唱片扔到街上,放火焚烧。 在XNUMX名抗议者被警察打死、XNUMX人受伤后,四艘中国军舰出现在近海,数千名红卫兵威胁要入侵。 被迫退缩,葡萄牙总督在毛泽东画像下签署了一封道歉信,不少于。 随后,葡萄牙外交部长将葡萄牙在澳门的角色描述为“外国监管下的公寓看守人”。

Vox populi,所以这些人在澳门必须是中国人,而不是在中国政府的统治下受苦。 文化大革命没有强奸他们。

在香港、澳门、新加坡和其他地方,他们独自做生意,中国人一直在蓬勃发展,长期以来,中国展示城市是香港,许多人会认为它仍然是,有些人声称它是简直就是最好的他妈的城市,无论何时何地,因为它和任何地方一样精致和美丽,所有设施一应俱全,而且非常安全。 直到最近,就是这样。

香港比新加坡或东京更热闹,天气比伦敦好得多,并且不会受到纽约或巴黎必须躲避的破败或沉闷街区的影响。 诚然,它没有世界一流的博物馆,但很少有人住在靠近伟大艺术的地方。 餐厅对日常生活更重要,而在满足感方面,香港是首屈一指的 咀嚼,我们不只是在说话 粤语版, 当然。 在 SoHo 区的短暂漫步中,我经过了人满为患的餐厅,提供 波斯融合, 秘鲁人, 希腊语, 意大利语, 意大利裔美国人,法国人, 越南语, 马来西亚人, 日本人, 葡萄牙语美国 烟房 和加州菜等。

在西湾的高街,范围更有限,但仍然非常多样化和令人印象深刻,甚至还有越南精酿啤酒。 我乘火车去了青衣的一些普通购物中心。 在那里,我可以选择台湾、泰国、日本、韩国、马来西亚、美国牛排、西式海鲜或意大利等。不到 9 美元,我吃了一盘相当不错的意大利细面条,配上牛排条和蘑菇,配上加厚的香蒜酱帕尔马干酪。 与我在越南吃的意大利面相比,这是涅槃。

在温德姆街,我注意到 弗兰克的,意大利裔美国人,所以不得不走进去。在费城,我经常出没的地方之一是肮脏的弗兰克,我在南费城的意大利人中生活了二十多年。 香港的 Frank's 是新泽西州的两个兄弟所有,我很快就发现了,但他们不是意大利人。 厨师是来自皇后区的黑人,经理是华裔加拿大人。 特色啤酒是布鲁克林淡啤酒。 酒吧里有一个中年黑人,所以我对他说:“我们可能比这些混蛋都更意大利!”

“我同意。”

大卫在萨斯喀彻温省的农村出生和长大,他在韩国教了 18 年英语,所以说一口流利的韩语,他说,刚刚搬到长春。 大卫断言,中国很好,但就世俗而言,上海或北京无法触及香港。

所以香港享有最好的多元文化,来自各地的种类繁多的食物,而不必进口许多外国人。 百分之九十二的香港人是汉族人。 相比之下,大约 40% 的伦敦人是在外国出生的。

在香港街头,最显眼的外来者是菲律宾人和印尼人。 其中许多是家庭佣人,根据法律,他们必须与雇主住在一起,星期天是他们唯一的休息日。 需要摆脱日常的束缚,却没有自己的庇护所,这些女性 聚集 在任何大型公共场所,他们坐在或躺在纸板上,聊天, 打牌,化妆,做头发,睡觉或只是盯着太空。 这对游客来说是一个惊人的景象,一开始,人们自然会认为他们无家可归,直到有人注意到他们太干净整洁了,不能成为长期的人行道居民。

香港有 7.4 万居民,大约有 2,000 无家可归 与美国城市相比,人口数量少得惊人。 纽约有 8.5 万人口,其中 61,000 人,洛杉矶(人口 4 万)有 59,000 人。 大约 200,000 名香港人必须忍受狭小甚至肮脏的生活空间,然而,床、厨房和厕所都在一个房间里,所以要洗澡,必须蹲下并将淋浴头靠近自己骨瘦如柴的身体,以免水溅到自己身上白菜什么的。 许多人根本没有空间,只有像隔间一样的棺材或床周围的铁丝网,像鸡舍。

那么是什么导致了香港的抗议/骚乱,现在已经超过六个月了? 引发它的引渡法案听起来不无道理,因为任何嫌疑人都应​​该在犯罪发生的地方受到审判,因此香港不能成为金融犯罪分子的避风港。 该领土是银行业恶作剧的主要中心。 这项法案并不意味着中国的安全暴徒可以进入香港抓持持不同政见者或任何人,尽管这显然发生在 2015 年的英国公民李波身上,他与 Mighty Current 有关联,Mighty Current 是一家专门研究政治、个人和性问题的出版社。中国共产党领导层中的污点。 巨流的另外四位导演也同时失踪,其中一位从他在泰国的家中被拖走,其余的则在中国被捕。

引渡法案废除后,唯一实质性的要求是立法会和行政长官选举的普选,即直接民主,但即使承认这一点,我怀疑这种抗议还会继续,否则其他人会爆发就这个简单的原因,很多香港人无法忍受被中国吸收的想法,而美国正是利用这种情绪来挑衅和抹黑中国。 尽管许多抗议者向美国求助,甚至有人挥舞着美国国旗,但山姆大叔更希望他们被中国屠杀,越多越好,让中国被谴责为道德贱民。

知道这一点,中国没有干预,抗议/骚乱拖得越久,普通香港人对它的支持就越少,因为他们已经必须应对 破损 或关闭地铁站、瘫痪机场、封锁街道、减少营业收入和随时随地爆发的混乱,所有这些都是由抗议者/暴徒煽动的。

凭借其无国界的法外处决,以及现在著名的政治对手朱利安·阿桑奇 (Julian Assange) 的俘虏和公开羞辱,美国应该是最后一个就狡猾的引渡对任何人进行训诫的国家。

涂鸦, ”永远免费,” “免费香港,” “没有中国,” “安蒂奇纳兹,” “香港是 不是中国,”但当然,香港是中国,不仅在法律上,而且在地理上、历史上,最重要的是人口上。 香港不仅是中国人,也是 中国,而且不是新加坡,甚至不是台湾。 你必须记住,香港没有自治的历史。 被英国占领,它总是有一个由伦敦任命的英国总督。 香港人虽然享有自由,但从来都不是民主的。 挥舞英国国旗的香港抗议者正在向全世界尖叫,“我们想念我们的白人爸爸”,这种行为太可悲了,我有点怀疑是北京特工干的。

谁想成为中国人?

在澳门会议上,有一个小组,多面的中国,这就是官方节目中的描述,“中国可能表面上看起来是单一的,但内在却是思想、写作和观点的深刻多样性——这种多样性因过多而进一步复杂化。居住在亚洲和世界各地的华人社区。 通过这个由代表中国写作和经验各个方面的获奖作家和学者组成的小组,领略这个国家在 21 世纪的广阔和矛盾。”

其中一位特邀作家是一位非常年轻的女性沉星洲,她立即表示不明白自己为什么会出现在这个小组中,因为她觉得自己不是很中国人,坦率地说,她不觉得自己在做什么。虽然她曾在上海、香港、伦敦和新加坡生活过,但她并不属于这些城市中的任何一个。 而且,她更希望那些地方,她的踪迹,都快消失不见。

后来,我遇到了一个更加无根的作家,这是他在节目中的简介,“Kiran Bhat 是一个全球公民,出生在美国佐治亚州亚特兰大郊区,父母来自印度南卡纳拉。 作为一名世界旅行者、通晓多种语言、教师和数字游民,他去过大约 130 个国家,在 18 个不同的地方生活过,会说 12 种语言。 无论是用他的母语卡纳达语,还是像普通话或葡萄牙语这样在智力上遥不可及的语言,他都利用这些经验来消除文学边界并创造全球化的艺术。 “他现在打电话回家太多地方,无法公正地列出一份清单,但他认为孟买是他唯一想定居的地方。他目前住在墨尔本。”

沈星洲又名乔乔。 休息的时候,我绕过她,问这个引人注目的女人,“那么乔乔,你接下来要去哪里?”

“也许是日本。”

“你会说日语吗?”

“不,但是我可以学习。”

“太棒了,”我笑着说,咬着我那颗松动的坏牙齿,加剧了我们的年龄差距。

在香港一家高档购物中心发现的 Gucci 广告展示了一位穿着华丽的中国女人。 站在美国西南部沙漠的中央,她拿着一块硬纸板搭便车,“某处。” 开放道路的美国浪漫已经被起草来美化普遍的异化。

在整个地球上冲浪,Jojo 和 Khiran 代表了最新一代的理想。 两年前,我在墨西哥托卢卡遇到了一位 23 岁的诗人,他的英语几乎完美无瑕。 “没有什么比从酒店房间搬到酒店房间更好的了,”奥斯卡·科尔特斯 (Oscar Cortes) 说。 除了几个青春痘,他的脸非常光滑,没有任何痕迹,没有皱纹,也没有疤痕。

“乔乔,你很像那个人,奇兰。”

“不,我不是。”

“当然,你是。 你们都认为你可以在任何地方待在家里。 他告诉我他会说 12 种语言,但我敢肯定那是胡说八道。 没有人能做到这一点。 尽管如此,他还是会从一个地方搬到另一个地方,就像你一样,是一个全球公民。”

“但我不属于任何地方,我也不想去任何地方。”

“听起来好郁闷,但你看起来一点都不郁闷!”

“你不认识我,”她笑着说。

在澳门,我们都住在同一家酒店, 大拉帕,其特色是令人印象深刻的自助早餐,包括中式、英式、葡萄牙式和美式菜肴。 我们把自己塞进了一个宏伟的高天花板房间里,房间里有通风的拱门、凹槽柱、百叶窗、双耳瓶形栏杆和软垫藤椅。 每张桌子上都有鲜花,从每张桌子都可以看到外面的亚热带郁郁葱葱。

令我永远感到耻辱的是,我必须承认,每天早上,我都迫不及待地想尝尝带有番茄酱的薯饼,然后是烤豆。 不过,乔乔总是喜欢吃粥、点心或炒米粉,我注意到,她从来没有碰过任何西餐。

就像香港抗议者一样,她本质上是明确无误且永远的中国人,尽管有些不安。 林语堂:“什么叫爱国,不爱小时候吃的东西?”

  1. 卡纳达语? 这是他们在亚特兰大的拼写方式吗? 这是某种模因吗? 这家伙以为他是谁,Don Cherry?

  2. Of note, the Ong family are Chinese-Filipinos of Hakkan descent from Cebu. So technically, Charleson was probably an ethnic Chinese himself.

    As for Portuguese in Macau, or Spanish in Philippines, the natives seem to have mixed-feelings towards them.

    Unlike the stiff Brits, who were stuffy queers who liked to import staid English wives or more often have sex with one another in their gin palaces, the Portuguese and Spanish quickly created a mixed-blood class of landowners.

    So Macau and Philippines have a well-entrenched mixed-race landowning class.

    Linh,你在这件作品中超越了自己。

    So perceptive, so tender, as you look at the world and some of its Chinese and global citizens. Loved your observation “The American romance of the open road has been drafted to glamorize universal alienation”. True and profound. Equals tomes of social psychology texts in wisdom and perception.

    但是,当你可以带着开放的好奇心看待全球智人时,我却开始厌恶这些全球公民。它们是我们这个颓废、疏离、不负责任和自私的时代的缩影。

    “She didn’t feel very Chinese, and frankly didn’t feel like she was anything at all, and though she had lived in Shanghai, Hong Kong, London and Singapore, she didn’t belong to any of those cities. Moreover, she wished that all traces of her in all those places would just disappear.” Alienated and depressed – and completely devoid of any sense of responsibility and belonging. A true atomic individual of our global age. She is perhaps outdone in selfish irresponsibility by “Kiran Bhat, a global citizen formed in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, in the USA, to parents from South Canara, in India. A world traveler, polyglot, teacher, and digital nomad, he has travelled to about 130 countries, lived in 18 different places. .. he considers Mumbai the only place that he wants to settle down in. He currently lives in Melbourne.”

    Could this kind of selfish, alienated globalism, made up of unstable atomic individuals, be the reason for the rise in woke ideologies, SJWs, and the dismantling of reason and common sense? If I can be here, there, and everywhere, then surely I can don any identity, take on whatever gender I feel like today, pick fights over what bathroom I wish to use, and fight battles to bring down borders so more people like me can flood in. Does it not seem to hang together – the age of decay and the age of global citizens?

  6. 摧毁西方的是历史上前所未有的繁荣的过程。它在工业革命后获得了这种繁荣。实验室已经研究了等效过程,请参阅卡尔霍恩的“鼠标乌托邦”。

    由于香港没有经历共产主义的严酷,因此在繁荣方面比中国大陆领先。香港人对中国的仇恨,类似于进步的西方白人对“乡下人”,即不够进步的白人的仇恨。

  11. unit472 说:

    I was somewhat taken aback by the xenophobia of the Hong Kong protestors. Apparently Taiwanese students had to be evacuated as their version of Chinese was mistaken as Mandarin and Cantonese is the native tongue in Hong Kong. Of course the ‘xenophobia’ was not anti foreigner but anti China which the people of Hong Kong do not wish to be ruled by. “One Country Two Systems” was a delicate bit of diplomatese by which the British could relinquish sovereignty to China and avoid the messy problem of who rules Hong Kong.

    Like Taiwan, Hong Kong has no living memory of Chinese rule and see no need for it today especially now that China has made clear it will remain a one party dictatorship. Unlike Taiwan, Hong Kong has no ocean between it and China and cannot fight back. I do applaud the restraint China has shown so far but the rioting will test that. Its a long time between now and 2047 and the people of Hong Kong need to husband their demands and not provoke China to seize control of their city.

  12. Well…two comments here. I’m just coming off of revising my daughter’s English essay, so forgive me: I’m feeling professorial this morning.

    First, the piece starts out talking about how various former colonies retain more of their pre-colonial character than their erstwhile colonizers do — then rather inconsistently lurches into a description of Macau — was there even a Macau before the Portuguese? If there was, it most assuredly didn’t even resemble what Linh describes. Macau most definitely is not an example of a place retaining its pre-colonial character.

    Second, I disagree with the whole thesis. Linh may 察觉 Algeria et al as having retained more of their pre-colonial character than France, Britain, etc.

    I think that’s bumph. Linh is just focusing on what has remained in the one case, but what has changed in the other. I think an eighteenth century Algerian bey would find modern Algeria at least as alien as an eighteen century Parisian burgher would find modern Paris. Whatever Viet Nam was like before the French showed up, it is 不能 like what is there now. Linh has a very clear idea of what Britain, France, and the West used to be like — and notices how much they’ve changed. He has a much hazier notion of Mughal India, etc, etc — and fails to realize just how radically those societies have been transformed.

    He tells of his life in modern Viet Nam — where he seems to feel entirely comfortable. Indeed, he describes several whites who feel comfortable there as well. Does he think this would still be the case if the could be teleported back to the Viet Nam of the early nineteenth century? If he must go back there, wouldn’t he really find it much easier to adjust to a Dublin coffee house? If we have changed, they have changed at least as much — and I suspect more.

    @Rev. Spooner

    A note about Rev. Spooner’s link to “Israel Shamir’s” article.

    我怀疑这位作者是众多中国大陆宣传团队的笔名,他们在 Unz 上发表文章并发表评论。他们通常使用假的非中国名字,我怀疑他们被组织成团队(中国共产党喜欢团队合作),并且在他们的文章中总是对任何批评零容忍,始终坚持亲中国。

    这里缺乏任何形式的平衡或对任何缺点的让步是一个明显的迹象。

    Sounds like the classic Buddhist ideal, the “homeless life” that is recommended so strongly in Buddhism as the quintessence of the spiritual life.

    也是中世纪色彩缤纷的世界,有无尽的欢乐朝圣者和欢快的流浪乞讨者。

    I feel so sorry for those who cannot revel in freedom but need to feel “attached” – all the spiritual traditions warm this is the source of suffering, but many people cannot learn.

    在禅宗中,理想的生活是无处可去。 但这对某些人来说太过分了。

    Why is it that those, like Linh Dinh, who sing the praises of “attachment” are always the most gloomy and depressed, cantankerous and surly?

    Well, it is just as the Buddha said – attachment is the source of suffering.

    Attachment is suffering, but non-suffering is non-existence. I, and I don’t think the buddha did either, will make a judgement on which is good or bad. But I think the emphasis on removal of suffering leads to a removal of joy or being.

    Rootlessness really is only bearable if you have enough money for a nice life where you go. but if you’re poor and you don’t fit in or find community within any community. life sucks. This is based on the assumption that humans are social animals that need roots and familiar faces

    The common thread between them all is that there are all broke. Nothing buy over-educated coolies, without the self-reflection to realize it. True tools of the capitalistic nightmare. The ‘rolling stone grows no moss’ parable is merely an edit from the entire statement. The basic idea is that the moss, and related biome are growths related to one sinking roots and growing in a fertile field. The rolling stone has nothing but whatever rolls with it. These ‘people’ are examples of such rolling stones. They have nothing and aspire to nothing. Living from hotel to hotel? We used to call those people homeless. The Federal definition still is. To aspire to short term lifestyles is to question the worth of the human spirit. These are merely examples of random and useless people, nothing to aspire to. Life without meaning, life without living.

    没错,佛教经常被误解为反对苦难,但它实际上承认没有苦难的生活是不可能的。不妨要求一生没有短暂,而只有向上。

    对佛教更好的解释是,它反对因执着无常事物而产生的挫败感,而寻求根除痛苦就是执着的一种形式。

    至于做一个快乐无根的游牧者,这样的生活不仅可以有足够的钱,而且如果钱对你来说不是很重要,你可以知足常乐,这样的生活也可以很有趣——现代人已经忘记了这一点。实际上,这是一种不太关心金钱的选择,而我们对幸福的讨论似乎总是预示着不可避免地需要大量金钱。但事实并非如此。

    至于扎根的社区,事实是有些人比其他人更需要它,而流浪的游牧民族之间存在着一种社区。

    我很高兴我给了你一个不同的视角——我并不反对根深蒂固的社区是人们所需要的观点,但还有另一种具有丰富而古老血统的传统,它同样有效且有趣。

    也许,就像印度教徒一样,一个人可以在生命的不同时期体验每一种传统。

    最后,我认为应该包容人类类型的全部丰富性,并且可能没有一种类型适合所有人。如果你试图将一种生活方式强加给每个人,你就会发生革命。

    我认为中世纪在适应各种不同的人类生活方式方面要好得多——一个人可以是流浪乞丐,也可以是商人。现代社会对于什么样的生活是被允许的变得非常压抑。生产性消费者——仅此而已。

    因此,从 60 世纪 XNUMX 年代开始的所有革命都是为了反对现代生活的压抑。

Like the pot dealer next door in my college apartment. Or the meth-addled tweaker who used to follow me outside my apartment in Tempe. The scum of US society cannot travel. You’re never going to see some whigger overdosing on Opoids in Hong Kong or Manila or Dubai.

    Its like this, man. Every so often I would communicate with people I knew in Michigan. What happened to Scott the off-campus pot dealer? Oh, he went to jail. What happened to Stanley from Flint? Oh, he’s stuck in a house nobody will buy in Flint drinking poisonous sludge. What happened to Tasha? Oh, she got pregnant and the father went to jail. What happened to so and so?

    Rootlessness is the source of unhappiness. People who are rooted among their own extended family and who are religious are the happiest. Most of these people don’t make much money either, but they have a community, passed down through generations. Read: Tim Carney’s 异化的美国.

    Rootless cosmopolitans in big metropolitan areas, the well educated and immigrants can never be truly happy, no matter how much money they make. Rootlessness = soullessness. Trouble with money is, the more you make, the more you want, and the more you want, the unhappier you get. Also the amount of education one gets is in inverse proportion to happiness. The more educated you are, the less happy you get.

    No. I believe both rootedness and rootlessness have their place.

    And I am following the advice of the Sixth Patriarch of Zen. When someone celebrates rootlessness, talk about roots. When someone celebrates roots, talk about rootlessness.

    As they say in the Zen monasteries in Japan – the opposite of a great truth is also true.

    I am and will remain a Jew – those are my roots. But we Jews have also been the greatest rootless nomads in history. We are both the most rooted and least rooted people on earth.

    My objection is with people who have never traveled, much less been expats, commenting on people who actually get off their backside and liquidate and take the plunge overseas and adapt to other countries.

    What does a person know if they are 30 and have lived on the same street in the same community their entire lives? What do they know about being employed in other countries?

    It is all well and good to talk about “roots” when you are some middle class American who has lived in the same suburb your entire life in a crime free community. But try talking to the black retiree in the Philippines who could choose between a nice tropical setting and clean bungalow or the Hood.

    Yeah — but common threads continue. I’ve had a fairly traumatic life — but Colin at sixty is identifiably the same Colin that existed at six. I’ve come to express some of them differently; but I still have the same strengths, and the same weaknesses.

    Ditto, say, for sixteenth century France and twenty first century France. Many of the same features, good and bad.

    On the other hand, modern Mexico really owes very little to Aztec Mexico. India is more dogged by her pre-British past than characterized by it. Does China still have a landlord class, a government staffed by academics, and a cultural center-tributary relationship with everyone in the immediate vicinity?

    This is one of those discussions where one could take either side and cheerfully maintain it forever — but I hold that Dinh’s notion that the colonized have changed less than the colonizers is mistaken. It’s a function of Dinh’s familiarity with the objects in question and his perspective, not of anything inherent in them.

    Re: yakushimaru’s comment.

    My comment to which he is responding about “this author….” etc. is not about Linh. He is definitely who he says he is.

    My original comment was responding to @Rev. Spooner’s comment and link to an article written by one “Israel Shamir.” My comment about “this author” was referencing “Israel Shamir”, not Linh. Sorry if this was unclear.

    If you go to that article Rev. Spooner linked to (by “Shamir”) you will find it extremely pro CCP and anti HK protest. I found that article so one sided and propagandistic that it prompted my comment. I don’t label everyone I disagree with a spy. But when you find rather stilted and one sided items that lack any kind of balance, in this instance by an author using what seems to be a pseudonym suggesting a non Chinese writer, I suspect a Trojan author.

    One “Godfree Roberts” contributes on Unz and also comments. He is clearly Chinese and another commentator and defender of “Mr. Roberts” claimed in response on my comment about him that he is actually a Chinese national living in Thailand. I still doubt that. You can judge for yourself about authorship and hidden agendas. What is true is that the CCP employs tens of thousands of Chinese, if not more, to scour the Internet in China and elsewhere looking for things the government doesn’t like.

    The easily available (in China) Chinese Internet is heavily censored and names of dissenters carefully monitored, censored and sanctioned for “incorrect” thoughts. I suspect teams of such censors also look at websites outside of China to monitor opinion and post commentary pro CCP. Other nations may do this but not to the massive extent of mainland China. My hunch is that these folks operate under work teams using various pseudonyms with non Chinese names.

    They can be sometimes spotted because the content is well written but lacks personality and the ones I’ve noticed are devoid of any of the slightest acknowledgement of any faults in China. This is not how regular people write. You might choose to defend your national policies but when doing so normal people would also acknowledge flaws and obvious room for change/improvements. Since most Unz articles and comments are written by Americans, you would have nothing here at all if the comments and articles were all slavishly pro American government policy.

    Every subject in Linh’s article has made a rational decision to live overseas. The black guy who owns the Macau restaurant saw the size of his pension, saw the Section 8 neighborhood he lived in in the US and decided to become an expat.

    You’re wrong about the visa-most expats don’t get jobs on the local labor force except as English teachers and they either own their own business or work for other expats.

    You’re also incorrect about adapting the local language and customs. I know Americans who lived in Dubai for decades and are not Muslim and don’t speak Arabic.

    As for making more money than locals, this is sometimes the case but the motivation of the American is JUST TO GET THE HELL OUT.

    For example, I knew an African-American who operated a hot dog vending business in the Philippines. He did not make a great deal of money but was not living in a Section 8 ghetto. He would have had to in the US.

    But in Asia with the currency exchange, you can live in a nice bungalow or modest apartment.

    When you think about it, the US is just an awful place to live for many people. Imagine being a black retiree. You live in some hood with subarctic winters. Crime is constant. Cops are rude and uncivil. Junkies and gangs are everywhere.

    Much is made about Americans going to Southeast Asia for sex but this is not the reason. The reason is that for many people America is a dark and dangerous place to live with a cold climate.

    Of course young posters here who live in the suburbs with their parents will not know anything about this. And I was born middle-class and only slipped into the lower middle-class as an adult so I’ve lived in both middle-class and lower-class urban environments. I know the difference. Your average exurban white might not have as much reason to move to Southeast Asia.

    Expats fit a profile. They are mostly male. Generally, you don’t meet many Western women overseas. There are virtually zero white women permanently based in the Philippines.

    They are usually of above average IQ and education. The truly dim from the depths of the lower class end up with kids out-of-wedlock to support at an early age, or are in minor trouble with the law (Probation, parole), or strung out on drugs, or just plain lethargic. You cannot be any of these things and run a business in Asia or be employable in Dubai.

    Expats are usually individualistic. But then again, what is the point of being community-orientated when the ruling elite do not care about you anyhow? Urban working class whites stuck in places like Flint, Michigan will tell you that the state government does not care. Americans operate under the assumption that society and the government cares. It doesn’t. It does not care if you did not sell your house in time and are trapped somewhere like Flint. It does not care if your neighborhood has become a gang-infested barrio. It does not care if your 12 year old daughter is sexually bullied in public schools.

    Also, certain groups have little attachment to the host culture anyhow. A black expat from the Hood never belonged to a country club or the Jaycees or any other civic organization. Their community is lousy anyhow. So what do they lose by moving overseas?

    Much is made about Jews being rootless or whatever but actually Jews tend to be very attached to New York, for example. Take Long Island. Jews are as rooted there as Native Americans. I’ve never met a single Jewish woman who lived overseas. Jewish women tend to be attached to their community. Israelis, of course, are more mobile. Even so, I have met very few in Asia and none were female. I personally never found Jews to be “rootless cosmopolitans”. The Jew I knew in Philippines from Long Island just wanted to get back there. He felt uncomfortable outside his familiar surroundings.

    Your average American expat won’t be Jewish. Jews have a pretty good gig in the US.

    I used to believe that a site like unz.com was probably off the radar of CCP until one day a few months ago I saw on sina.com.cn a crop of a screenshot with Anatoly Karlin’s icon picture up there. If I remember, the name was mosaic’d but the icon pic was unmistakable. I forget the content now. Probably some nice witty things said by Karlin about China.

    Now thinking back, I think it’s Karlin’s twitter instead of his unz content. I still tend to believe that unz.com is simply too small and too much off the western mainstream to attract any CCP attention.

    A recent example was in a Chinese translation of some article. The Chinese translator clearly did not know, for example, what R-Ohio means and assumed it to be a somebody’s name like Tom R. Ohio. I cannot remember where I saw this but it’s in a major China website. What I mean is, those people hired by CCP to do this kind of jobs, their English skill and all around talent cannot be too high given the job opportunities in China.

    I don’t know about that: maybe the development of a strand of flavor, a romantic aside that is american relative to the open road and what it has meant to everyone everyone all times.

    I came from far from America and a lot smaller but the roads there were open too and they struck me hard as a boy same way. and those roads caught me whole then as a little boy, gripped my soul instituted its meaning deeply. even now as I speak I remember as a little boy climbing up on a box by the window to watch the road that passed my house, sparse flow so that I could count and remember how many had passed by that day

    my conception of the road for a long time had nothing to do with American road romance…never occurred within my event horizon until much much later. but open it was.. and the possibilities!! maaan! the possibilities in and of that road, all roads were the stuff of my dreams..all the dreams of all I knew for a long time.

    There’s this one great Chinese, Wang Guowei, his China included the institution, mannerism, and style, and things that’s clearly beyond my English skill to describe. When the modernization flared up in all seriousness, he’s so sad he killed himself in 1927. Wang was the first Chinese to seriously study Schoppenhauer. He knew and can appreciate the West, way more than most of the other elite Chinese of his time.

    Then there’s Cheng Yinke, a younger friend of Wang. Unlike virtually all of his contemporaries, he’s about the only one who understood Wang’s suicide and yet he himself put less weight on the old institutions etc. His China was about the people, the land, and the heritage, or memory, or the very Chinese emphasis on or even reverance of History. He studied in America and Europe extensively and was regarded as a great scholar. When 1949 came, he had every opportunity to escape and yet he decided to not go, for he knew that CCP was different and he would not be able to come back. His China cannot be without the land. He stayed and eventually died a horrible death in Cult Revolution.

    Among Cheng’s early colleagues, there’s Zhao Yuanren, a one of a kind, extremely talented linguist. His China was less than that of Cheng. For example, Zhao advocated giving up the Chinese language, using Latin letters to remake it, like in Viet Nam. He cannot be ignorant of the consequent cutting off of Chinese history when it would be very hard for later Chinese people to read it. He thought it would’ve helped the people.

    Later on, among the younger generation, there’s Yu Yinshi. When he moved from HK to the US in the 1950s, he felt the anxiety, but he soon found comfort in being persuaded by an older Chinese friend in Harvard so he’s able to study China like a museum piece. His China can be without the people, the land, and a lively practice of ways of China in any scale bigger than his desk.

    Today we have an even more extreme example in Andrew Yang. Unlike Gary Locke, Yang was barely American, heritage wise. We might say, his China completely vanished.

    So, what’s all this got to do with Dinh’s the Colonized and the Colonizers? You see there’s a long and tortured Chain. Up and down, the relations can be like a bird and a dinosaur, a chimp and a man, or a wolf and a dog, it can be wildly unrecognizable but each link on the chain is strong and you can trace it. The absurdity is to believe that from Andrew Yang, one can trace back, link after link, to Thomas Jefferson. Even Barack Obama had to marry Michelle.

    China is still China, so far, good and bad, and strange. But there is no China among a group of, no matter how great, China Study scholars when it is only a subject matter. If, in the future, the Andrew Yang’s of the world win and they rule, their world would be as alienated to us as if it’s a world of robots. They might be smarter, stronger, more beautiful, and even morally superior, like I care.

    So, it is not familiarity on a personal scale. You touch your mother. You love her. It is not because she is a great woman or that you stay with her often.

    Could this kind of selfish, alienated globalism, made up of unstable atomic individuals, be the reason for the rise in woke ideologies, SJWs, and the dismantling of reason and common sense? If I can be here, there, and everywhere, then surely I can don any identity, take on whatever gender I feel like today, pick fights over what bathroom I wish to use, and fight battles to bring down borders so more people like me can flood in. Does it not seem to hang together – the age of decay and the age of global citizens?

    If whites are hated in Hawaii, that is yet another reason why it should have never been made a state. Apparently, from what I’ve read, many native Hawaiians think so as well. Now they are again thinking of granting statehood to Puerto Rico, whose people also hate white America. The USA has a death wish.

  72. Vincente? I thought the Portuguese spelled that name “Vicente.” Sure enough:

    ‘What is the ratio of real genuine native Hawaiians to outsiders (mainland Americans, Filipinos, Koreans, Japs, etc.)? Maybe they’re right to feel resentful if they have been turned into a minority in their own homeland.’

    They’re worse than a minority — actual, full-blooded Hawaiians are quite rare.

    The inhabitants of Hawaii are a polyglot blend of everyone: ask a random non-white his ancestry and you’ll get something like ‘Filipino, Portuguese, Scots, Japanese…and oh yeah, Hawaiian.’ We lived up the road from Milolii — a genuine original Hawaiian fishing village, and about as aboriginal as you could get.

    Even discounting the white immigrants, it was a lot of things genetically — but not particularly ‘Hawaiian.’ Pele, the rather large woman I sold my generator to when I left, was actually Samoan. Spider — who I nicknamed ‘the great brown hunter’ — well, his last name was “Gomes.’ His wife/girlfriend looked essentially white, or maybe kind of Hispanic. My barber was Japanese — genetically. Etc.

    It’s one of the irritating things about the whole ‘Aloha’ schick. You might as well give everything Mohawk names in upstate New York. That isn’t the people, it isn’t the culture, and it’s not much to do with many at all. There’s certainly a distinctive culture on the islands — but it owes little to the Hawaiians who were there two hundred years ago, and less to their way of life and beliefs.

    Another sore point: the whole ‘aloha’ thing. People say it all the time — but I counted. In a year and a half, I heard exactly four people say it who weren’t saying it in the course of trade. So what does ‘aloha’ mean?

    出于所有实际目的,这意味着, ‘I’m being paid to say aloha.’

    不错的地方,但充满了它 很多 的方式。

    …and another thing. The precious frigging Hawaiians aren’t even the original inhabitants. They were the second wave. The first wave was from the Marquesas. Our Hawaiians appear to have exterminated 那些 完全是当地人。

    …plus, they practiced human sacrifice…and had a nobility that calmly worked the population of commoners to death when it transpired the fruits of their labor could be exchanged for whiskey.

    Things are tough all over, as they say. It’s interesting, and if someone had told me we had to stay there for the rest of our lives, I wouldn’t have been too disturbed by the prospect, but please — no guilt trips about the poor ‘Hawaiians.’ Hell, they can get a special deal on land. Look up ‘Hawaiian homelands.’ They’re doing fine — all twelve of them.

    ‘If whites are hated in Hawaii, that is yet another reason why it should have never been made a state.’

    Well, first off, whites aren’t ‘hated’ — not that I saw. There’s a kind of cultural apartheid, and some serious culture clashes, but ‘hate’? You take the blacks on the mainland — I’ll take the Locals on Hawaii any day. Of course, I spent all my time on the Big Island. Maybe things are different in Honolulu.

    Secondly, the white/non-white division is hardly the only one. The Japanese — who run everything — form a very distinct group. Then there are also very noticeable ‘Portuguese,’ and Filipino communities, and various discrete groups from elsewhere in Polynesia. Chinese, a bit of an Indian presence — and finally, the vast, indeterminate pool of offspring of all of the above known as ‘locals.’ And oh yeah — a few Hawaiians.

    …and if people can be resentful of whites, they say the ‘Portuguese’ (I’m not sure what they actually are, but they don’t Portuguese) are thieves, and the Filipinos are vermin.

    So it’s lotsa fun — but they’re all ‘Hawaiian,’ all united, and all hate whites? Not exactly. On the whole, pretty nice, but they can be decidedly light-fingered. Lock up your tools, and leave your house vacant.

    A great irony of colonialism is that many of the colonized nations have managed to stay more coherent, intact and true to themselves than the colonizers, so that seven decades after the Indians kicked out the Brits, for example, India is still essentially India, if not more so, while England has become relentlessly less English

    The colonized countries changed externally – architecture, roads, etc. But they kept most of their traditions and original population. (Referring here to Indian, African and Asian countries; Latin America is a different issue because colonization was much longer). But the colonizer countries changed internally – they kept their architecture (except where it is being replaced by modernist trash), but their tradition was erased and now their population is suffering a replacement. So in the end it was/is worse for them. Of course, the “great replacement” could have happened without colonialism, but it seems unlikely; it seems that “invade the world-invite the world” is an inseparable duo.

    “但我不属于任何地方,我也不想去任何地方。”

    I can relate to this feeling, even though I don’t necessarily like it, and I think most people really want to “belong”. To something. A nation, a community, a sect, or just a criminal gang.

    The problem is that now with globalization, even if you’re a native in your own “home country” you’re no longer at home, but also if you’re an immigrant, there are so many other immigrants that even if you sincerely love or admire the country, what difference does it make?

    For instance, someone who is not French but loves France and French culture, in the 1930s he could go there and have that experience of living in France and loving French culture even if he was an expat, but if a Hemingway-wannabe goes to live in Paris now, he will live among a large number of non-whites, a lot of non-French food restaurants, not to mention McDonald’s, Starbucks, and all the elements of globalized culture.

    Soon all places start to look the same. So even if you want to experience different cultures and “not belong anywhere”, you end up belonging to the inescapable globo-world.

    We are all to some extent rootless, the whole world is on drift, cult, hype and bubbles everywhere. This is represented already in consumer goods, low quality stuff which is soon outdated or of low quality, goods glamorized through marketing. It is represented in the ubiquitous grip of a vast commerce and marketing industry which adds glamour to things (an industry of fiction and glamour which is x times larger than the production industry), represented in targeted gigantic value creation (climate change hoax for instance), represented in the screens everywhere, in the financial industry, the tech cult, in the media, in politics, aesthetics, modern arts and etc.
    The world today is one big market place of hyped products, artificially created values, theories and ideas, bubbles of glamour in a world likely to crash big time one day. Then ephemeral, decadent and rootless modernity will burst into oblivion.

    “the age of global citizens”

    The global citizen does not exist in itself, individuality which is required for citizenship is rooted per definition in the local and the particular. It grows like a tree from the richness and particulars of locality. The ‘global citizen’ is an invention of political and commercial marketing, he is merely a self-image, a package delivered by marketeers, it is created for him in order that instead of the hard road of developing individuality, the global citizen can easily obtain (buy) a ready made but customizable package, a package of glamour which allows him a self-image of being more evolved than those allegedly petty small local crawlers.

    It is a crowd package for the uprooted and that which has no individual character, they do not ‘walk the lanes’ on real soil:

    “The witness for the truth – who naturally will have nothing to do with politics, and to the utmost of his ability is careful not to be confused with a politician – the godfearing work of the witness to the truth is to have dealings with all, if possible, but always individually, to talk with each privately, on the streets and lanes – to split up the crowd, or to talk to it, not to form a crowd, but so that one or another individual might go home from the assembly and become a single individual.” – Kierkegaard

    ‘… If whites are hated in Hawaii, that is yet another reason why it should have never been made a state…’

    As I’ve said, in my experience too much is made of this. However, to the extent that there is resentment, I think it’s something we ourselves have told the locals to feel.

    This is almost pure speculation, but I was watching a segment of 疯子 in which Don Draper visits the Hawaii of the Sixties. Hula dancers, Mai Tais, and sexy Hawaiian women (ahem).

    …and they tried to comply. In the Sixties, Hawaii was all about beaches, bikinis, and little paper umbrellas in your drink. A hundred years ago it was about working in that sugar cane field. A hundred years before that it was about dressing like a Christian and going to church. Now it’s about Hawaiian culture and resentment.

    My theory is that they’re always just doing as they’re told. All that changes is what we tell them to do.

    So if you get ‘stink eye’ from a local, hey. You told him to do that. What’s your complaint?

    Not true. From the 2018 article “Patterns of Interracial and Interethnic Marriages among Foreign-Born Asians in the United States”

    “Among all foreign-born Asian groups, Japanese were most likely to marry interracially and interethnically [which means to marry other Asians rather than Japanese], while Asian Indians had the lowest rates of interracial marriage and interethnic marriage.”

    你的大部分评论在准确性上都像激光一样。 我的主要分歧是你如何构建你的第一个陈述。 做这样的表面分析是不对的,比如香港正在失去与上海的竞争。 必须正确看待情况,以促进民众之间更深入的了解。 也就是说,香港多年来受益于其“通往中国的门户”的地位。 在中国加入世贸组织之前,寻求最小化风险的跨国公司将其地区总部设在香港,以利用英国法院系统的稳定性。 不过要明白一件事:这些公司是从中国的崛起中获利,而不是从英国或香港的崛起中获利。 当然,香港人也从中获利,在外国经营的公司获得好工作,在世界上最繁忙的港口工作(1997 年),从事来自中国的产品流的交易。 一些事实:

    1997年,香港的GDP约占中国GDP的20%。
    这个数字现在低于 3%。
    1997年,中国大约50%的国际贸易曾经通过香港。 现在已经下降到 12% 左右。
    直到大约 20 年前,香港股市的规模是中国其他股市的两倍。 这已经改变了,今天香港的市场已经被上海的市场所绕开,而深圳的市场也将黯然失色。 直到大约 15 年前,香港的港口还是世界上最大的港口。 今天,中国境内有上海、宁波和深圳三个较大的港口,青岛正在迅速赶上香港。 一个新的港口即将在广州开放,这也将对香港的港口产生很大的影响。

    因此,说香港正在失去竞争并不十分准确。 更准确地说,由于中国的增长和国际社会接受的自然后果,香港失去了令人羡慕的特权经济地位。

    暴力抗议者如果对自己的处境感到愤怒,就应该烧毁世贸组织、国际货币基金组织和世界银行的香港办事处。 你是对的,北京将让暴力抗议者摧毁香港的未来,而不是遵循合乎逻辑的行动方针,即与不断增长的珠江三角洲经济区进行经济融合,珠江三角洲经济区是世界上最繁荣的经济区之一。 与深圳、广州一起成长,还是在衰败的美帝国的支持下陨落,你的选择是什么?

    I think I like White Castle, like most midwesterners. I think I like the corny architecture, the grease, the fluffiness. I know I like the nostalgia of White Castle. If you go to a White Castle in parts of Indianapolis, you’ll see whitey and blackie (crackers and niggers) sometimes eating together and talking about real estate. I think it’s the Jews that turned White Castle into some racial aspirational meme. And just for fuck’s sake, not because Jews are Satanic, although some are crazy. Real estate is all about patriotism too. Real estate is all about territories, the more and bigger you own, the bigger man you are, at least in your own head. Real estate can make people autistic, too, but is a great tonic for the social media world. I buy frozen White Castle at Walmart now, since I live in California. There’s a lot of Californians with residual “love” for White Castle, the food one “loves” as a child. Do people really “love” the foods of their childhood? I call bullshit. Only in mass communication settings do people “love” the foods of their youth. Dunkin Donuts are starting to pop up in Southern California, will White Castles too? I hope so. My guess is that Mexicans would take to White Castle, seeing as the experience of a slider resembles a taco. A kind of midwesterner, low flavor profile whitey taco.

    In reality, large parts of India do not resemble the old India at all. There are many more mosques in India than during the British rule, and the Muslim and Christian population is growing at a much faster pace than the Hindu population each year.

    China has pretty clean streets now too.

    That said, there does seem to be a certain attitude difference toward cleanliness, even as it is gradually shifted these days via force. Attitudes toward cleanliness are definitely something I think would be worth researching in. China was indeed mentioned even historically as being less excited about cleanliness, while the Japanese were much more focused on it. Dinh has mentioned at least one restaurant where debris in Vietnam is littered on the floor with little concern, and even in the West, prior to labor-saving devices, specific standards of cleanliness were quite different.

    Ultimately, cleanliness is a function of societal standards, enforcement ability and free time to upkeep. Societies heavily emphasized on conformity with unspecified but potentially ruthless punishment for stepping out of line – very Puritan societies, and very collectivistic societies, do well at it and ultimately this is why China can do well at it too.

    Dinh often celebrates against that, for better or worse. He does not particularly celebrate the domestication and mechanization of humanity(though that is, in some ways, the very force of civilization).

    No; these are the Japanese who had been there since the end of the nineteenth century; first as sugar cane workers, then as the owners of small stores, then as local politicians.

    They were (and are) the largest ethnic group in Hawaii, and they vote. Look at the list of Hawaii’s senators: one has always been white, one Japanese. Always. What’s more, they’ve always been firm supporters of Israel. There’s a definite deal with the mainland power structure there. Why the f____ should ethnic Japanese on islands in the middle of the Pacific care about Israel?

    Got me. But meanwhile, back at the ranch…

    As a neighbor of mine put it, if you want to change anything, you’ll run into the County Board of Supervisors — and that is a bunch of old Japanese guys saying ‘we gotta follow the general plan.’

    …which, of course, they themselves wrote. But there’s no particular connection to modern Japan. These people would be more like the Boers of South Africa as compared to the modern Dutch. About the only similarity is a knack for politely getting their own way — but getting their own way.

    ‘… Ultimately, cleanliness is a function of societal standards, enforcement ability and free time to upkeep…’

    Incongruously, cleanliness can also be a function of extreme poverty. Compare modern Turkey and Morocco. There is 没有 litter in Morocco. On the other hand, one of my memories of Turkey is of frigging 漂流 of empty plastic water bottles.

    Why? Are Moroccans just naturally clean and Turks filthy?

    No. It’s because Morocco is so poor that for any given article of litter, there is someone who is making a living picking it up — if only as kindling for fires. Turks have yet to all learn they mustn’t litter — but they have become affluent enough so that they can afford bottled water yet no one is reduced to gathering up the empties.

    …It’s actually kind of interesting to compare Turkey and China. In both cases, the ordinary citizen — as opposed to the members of the elite — is finally acquiring a measure of prosperity. Moreover, in both cases, the nations are ceasing to simply mindlessly obey the ideological dictates of the West and are starting to pick out their own paths. Of course, China’s path is far more secular than Turkey’s, which is taking the form of the one of the more constructive developments of Islam going on at the moment — but there are similarities in terms of what stage of historical evolution this would be.

    My impression is that Turkey at least is rapidly becoming a nation culturally dominated by a burgeoning lower middle class and those who at least aspire to join it. Is China at the same place?

    That’s a great point. These people certainly aren’t Nobodies from Nowhere, and I’m not suggesting they are any kind of Buddhist ideal.

    但我确实使用这些例子作为对根源和无根性进行更广泛调查的起点,我自己的生活史使这成为了一个引人入胜的主题。

    现在旅行的人比以往任何时候都多,并且正在以前所未有的规模进行大规模的朝圣。 也有比以往更多的外籍人士和数字游牧民族等。

    这是一种非同寻常的现象,我常常觉得只是从一个方面来审视。 但是游牧民族的真正兴奋却被忽视了。 根源可能令人窒息和压迫,逃离它们可能是最令人难以置信的解脱。

    To elaborate on the underlying Buddhist theme here, there is an analogous situation with regard to our attitude towards concepts and thoughts. There are many people who feel a need to cling to concepts and ideas. They need to feel “rooted” and secure in concepts, which they take as reality. Otherwise they feel terrified and adrift.

    Daniel Chieh is such a person, and perhaps a majority of people on this site (in the world, most humans are mediocre). But Buddhism suggests that being “rooted” in concepts and ideas is not just illogical and superficial, but that there is an extraordinary freedom and liberation in not clinging to concepts, in recognizing their contingency.

    So “rootlessness”, from anything and everything, from physical place or from mental place, from the Buddhist perspective, is the source of the most exhilarating freedom one could have.

    Which is not to say, of course, that roots don’t have their place, just as concepts are necessary and serve a function for us. The thing is to not take either too seriously – to not reify either. Use concepts to order the world, sure, but realize they don’t really represent reality, which cannot be grasped. Have roots and a sense of place, but don’t idolize them, and appreciate the need for freedom from roots as well or they will become stifling and oppressive.

    In the end, Buddhism is the Middle Way – any time you completely choose one side over another, you are clinging to something that does not exist on its own and so cannot be clung to.

    Interesting. I will take a look at it. I’m fascinated by the American Indians in general. Lately I am spending more time in the West and its incredible landscapes, and I find myself more and more thinking about the American Indians.

    Thomas Merton has a great little book of essays on American Indians and the Mayan world as well, topics he doesn’t usually write about.

    I think there is a correlative between spirituality and the Stone Age lifestyle – they almost seem to imply each other, just as logical realism implies the modern world of technology. And Buddhist and Eastern spiritual works recommend essentially a Stone Age lifestyle, hermits and wanderers in the mountains and forests etc.

    在犹太教中,理想的生活也是一种温和的田园或游牧无政府主义,没有国王,每个人都在他的帐篷里或在他的葡萄树下,做他认为正确的事情,与自然和谐相处。 某些犹太节日,如 Succot,试图回忆理想化的石器时代的游牧无庇护生活。

    So I guess you can say I am peculiarly offended by Linh – he takes precisely the wrong approach, the pathetic approach. Miller can make a pigsty seem full of vigor and fascination – Linh makes Japan seem depressing and dull.

    You can also unpack the history of civilization and the erasure of the hunter- gatherers in Daniel Quinn’s gem 伊斯梅尔。 What we call civilization is not, as most of us have been trained to believe, an evolutionary pinnacle at the tip of a human-advancement graph with our club-wielding antecedents at one end and machine-human-hybridism at the other. Rather, it is a single, unsustainable lifestyle that in ten thousand years metastasized over the earth, erasing from memory other forms of life in its path. And this slavery-dependent, earth-destroying civilization is doomed to collapse.

    I am familiar with Gods admonition to the Hebrews through the aging prophet Samuel, (The Hebrews didn’t trust that God would act through Samuels sons-who didn’t walk in his ways) when they petitioned him to appoint a King, “ just like the other nations. “
    God warns them of the tax burden they will be saddled with, military conscription, their women being enticed and enslaved to become confectioners, bakers, and perfumers for the King.
    Prior to this we have the book of judges, and as you have noted, a pastoral anarchic life, each man under his own vine and fig tree.

    This theme repeats among indigenous people worldwide. In Hinduism, the Sannyasa stage of life, the retreat to the forest, the toning down of desire, status, and attachment. ( This theme is developed for the Western mind through Ernst Jungers the “Forest Dweller”) There is also the earlier initiation of this stage of life- and the stilling of sexual desire-among the Brahmacharya.

    The creation myth, our culture, and our gods, are a story ( game) that we enact in concordance with the rest of The Community of Life.

    Agriculture- ( and the teeming well-armed cities that are based on it)is the consequence of eating from the tree of Good and Evil (and “imagining” that we have the power to decide who lives and who dies) and the subsequent ejection/fall from the Garden ( where God bore the burden of this knowledge) and the pastoral life-has indeed left nature conquered and bloodied at our feet.

    There is a difference between an expat running a business in Hong Kong or Philippines and a “crusty punk” (As they were referred to in the late nineties when I was young) who begs for change outside stores so he can do heroin.

    I knew a crusty punk-an awful one-in my twenties when I lived in Phoenix. He was a friend of my roommate Mike, himself a NOFX-loving beer-swilling punk. This punk was banned from donating blood for money after becoming convinced the plasma worker was hitting on him and assaulting him right in the office. He was incredibly anti-social and violent and we actually kicked Mike out simply so that his crusty friends would not drop by our apartment.

    Crusty punks are another American specimen I was glad to get away from by moving overseas.

    You cannot compare expats-all of whom are educated and intelligent enough to make a living and adapt overseas-to useless American dropouts who glom change for heroin or cheap liquor outside convenience stores in the US.

    Most people from the lower classes and working classes would not and cannot travel overseas. They don’t have the money for a plane ticket because they always have child support payments to make, or are marginally employed, or on probation or parole. Or they are too drunk or have drug addictions to support.

    Expats are not the same. Expats build new lives somewhere else.

    As a young man on the margins of US society myself for a short period of time after college and before fleeing to Dubai, I knew “crusty punks” and other US dropouts. Believe me, none of them would last five minutes overseas.

    They are too poorly socialized, too uneducated, too dependent upon substances, too possessed of a bad attitude…

    Remember, I know of what I speak. I intentionally left America to get away from these sorts of people. As an adult in lower middle class circumstances in Phoenix Arizona (Though not Michigan, which was too cold for crusty punks) you ran into crusty punks a great deal. Some were heroin addicts but most were just sullen potentially violent drunks.

    Actually, it is unusual for an Asian-American to harbor antipathy towards Jews.

    In some ways, both are similar. Jews and Asians are both primarily urban and cluster in cities on the East Coast and West Coast axis. Jews and Asians are usually intelligent in IQ on average. Jews and Asians tend to be educated and white collar. Jews and Asians are usually middle-class and often high earners. Jews and Asians are both accused of being cunning and underhanded. Jews and Asians have both been unpopular as store owners and landlords in the black ghetto.

    Asians and Jews both have low indexes of commonplace social pathology. Out-of-wedlock birthrates, street crime, family dysfunction, drug addiction, homelessness are generally low for both groups.

    You get out of expat life what you put into it. Personally, all I care about is not having to witness chimpouts on buses by 300 pounders on the way to work. That won’t happen in Asia. Another Cholo Mestizo gang member won’t be menacing me in Asia. I won’t share an apartment with some beer-drunk whose friends are “crusty punks”. Gone are the swaggering hillbillies I met in Southeast Michigan. Gone are the meth-addled homeless who would follow me and hassle me.

    If all you wish is to get away from these people, then living overseas is a paradise for a lower middle class white American male.

    I’ve known many white Americans on disability pensions in Philippines. So why live in a trailer or bad apartment in the frigid Midwest when the currency exchange allows you to live in a nice bungalow in Philippines? The weather is nicer, you are not living in complete squalor etc.

    In my opinion, that is Mestizos. Wherever there are Mexicans, a Banana Republic life-is-cheap drug-gangs-are-everywhere machismo-is-everything tinpot dictatorship cloud rolls in.

    Californian whites never had a chance. Mexicans moving North into the East Coast were up against deeply-entrenched competing white ethnic cartels like the Irish, Italians, Jews, Slavs. The Sicilian mafia held their gangs in check (Though now that RICO has put them away MS-13 is roaming Long Island with machetes) and controlled the drug trade leaving small-time Latino gangs no economy to stand on. Polish, Jews, Italians, Russians, Germans like Frederick Trump could all agree to speak English.

    And most importantly, the East Coast had an insurmountable class system. These were all discouraging to Mexicans.

    But California, as you say, is classless and egalitarian. So the whites did not stand a chance.

    事实上,我几乎完全同意你的看法,尽管更多的是对意识形态和佛教意义上的“概念”的依恋,而不是地方; 尽管在我自己的生活中,我或多或少地在地理上不情愿地无根,并且在我为某事放弃一件事的冲动中“扎根”,如果不是别的的话。

    很长一段时间我都理想化了在地理上扎根,我想是因为我发现靠自己是不可能实现的。

    我现在比从孩提时代起就更扎根于某个地方,甚至有相当不错的机会来改善事物,而且我发现很难适应。 我脑子里的压力似乎每天都在增加,只是知道就是这样,我在这里,现在不能去任何地方。 我知道我已经习惯了移动, 准备逃跑,但我并没有完全理解它的深度。

    所以我的生活也是这种现象的例证。 有一天读到我祖父的讣告,其中间接报道了他的餐厅因我们现在所说的“多元化”而关闭,我意识到自己是如何在知道它有名字之前很久就成为受害者的。

    虽然我通过尼采对形而上学的驳斥而“没有概念”,但我当然承认佛教的一致性,尤其是小乘。 当然还有来自印度的更极端的 Cārvāka 学派,它更符合 Sextus Empiricus 和 Carnap。

    至于更多的人旅行和现代“游牧”的普遍事实,这是一个迟早会随着现代文明本身而破裂的泡沫。 这当然不适用于从辐射区北部迁徙而来的非白人移民。 看不到尽头,而且情况可能会变得更糟。

    此外,第三世界国家的当局正在接受无家可归者,因为他们占人口的很大一部分。 整个印度种姓无家可归。

    在美国,如果您无家可归并试图从美国城市搬到农村地区,在那里可能更安全,当地警察会给您提供 Rambo 得到的老警长 Teasle 待遇。 免费乘车出城和“我们不想要流浪汉”的演讲。 此外,农村地区没有施粥所或庇护所。 这意味着如果你突然无家可归,你就会被困在美国城市最糟糕的地方。

    友好、乐于助人、诚实的人 谁说英语。 当然,您必须谨慎选择您所在的地区。

    不拥挤。 世界其他地方到处都是游客……这里还不错。

    枪。 你可以有枪。 枪不错。

    你可以到处钓鱼和打猎。 美国的默认设置是,如果有水体,您可以尝试捕捉其中的鱼。 我仍然无法理解这样一个事实,比如在英国,情况并非如此。 你是什​​么意思我不能钓到那条鳟鱼? 这是荒谬的…

    餐厅提供免费水。

    大量的公共浴室。

    减少销售税……尽管如此,您必须选择去哪里。

    少盲目崇拜 认知度. 欧洲人永远不会选举特朗普。 对他们来说更糟。 在这里,甚至没有人听喋喋不休的课程。 无论是好是坏,它都是最完整意义上的民主。

    言论自由。 好的,这在下降——但在美国仍然假设你 应该 能够说任何你想说的。 其他地方根本不是这种情况。

    夏威夷。 夏威夷是美国的一部分 - 并配备了所有便利设施。 如果您住在那里或犯了去瓦胡岛的错误,这些缺点将会由您承担,否则……

    荒谬的。 始终为 75 度,美丽温暖的热带海洋,价格合理的露营地和租车。 连蛇都没有,看在克里斯的份上。 你还能想要什么?

    我看过加那利群岛的照片。 像夏威夷一样,但人多,贵一倍,而且 毒蛇。 我们有夏威夷。 你好烂。

    美国有很多缺点,当然……不需要清单。 我不否认。 只是它并不都是负面的。

    我会列出它们。 我是美国侨民。 诚然,我自己 XNUMX 岁出头是一段非常不快乐的时光,我很高兴搬到迪拜。 我自己对美国的看法被我自己的经历所笼罩。

    ....确实,美国的部分地区并非不拥挤。 这些地方没有真正体面的公共交通工具,您需要一辆车。 欧洲和大多数其他国家/地区都有公共交通工具,但在美国,您必须拥有一辆车。

    ……枪。 嗯,是。 但是隐藏携带许可证很难获得,而且麻烦通常发生在街上。 在欧洲,当然在亚洲,你可以在家里放一把枪。 但是在您家中需要枪支的可能性比在街上的可能性要小。

    …西班牙的部分地区完全不拥挤。 他们在那里拍摄了克林特·伊斯特伍德的意大利西部片。 美国城市很拥挤。 或者有时不是,因为像底特律这样的许多人现在半途而废。 纽约市很拥挤。

    …您可以在亚洲钓鱼和打猎。 我一直在用鱼叉捕鱼。 当我访问英国时,我在威尔士钓鱼。 如果您痴迷于投篮 XNUMX 分,那么就没有什么可打的了。 我的家人在北密歇根州北部有一栋小屋,我祖父在那里杀死了一只驼鹿。 但是北密歇根州的经济非常糟糕。 在美国农村的大部分地区,经济都很糟糕。 没钱创业。

    ……在美国,人们不崇拜行家。 他们崇拜那些对任何事情都一无所知的混蛋名人。 以卡戴珊姐妹为例。 Lady Gaga。 阿姆。 欧洲不那么民主吗? 当然,在西欧,穷人的境况更好,可以接受免费教育。

    ……在英国不能钓鱼? 那是不真实的。 我不会在底特律甚至我长大的安娜堡钓鱼。 你在密歇根东南部吃一条鲶鱼,你可能会死。 当然,北密歇根不同。 我小时候在那里钓到过鲈鱼、蓝鳃鱼,甚至是鲈鱼。 但是,嗯,没有人有工作。

    …言论自由? 嗯,我可以在亚洲说任何我想说的,而且经常这样做。 当然不是关于他们。 一个人在美国有什么言论自由? 如果一个同性恋同事打你,而你称他为“同性恋”,你可能会被解雇。

    餐厅的免费水? 是的,这弥补了美国城市或郊区公立学校的危险和暴力程度。 当然,如果您的学校有一个 4-H 俱乐部,那么这不是什么大问题。

    美国哪些地区是温暖的? 我在密歇根东南部长大,相比之下,西欧的冬天比较温和。 当然,如果您住在佛罗里达群岛,情况并非如此。 然而,温暖州的问题在于他们有太多的拉丁裔。 我在凤凰城度过了一年,冬天很温和,但那里的混血儿特别糟糕。 温暖的州主要是 Cholo Mestizo。 哪里有混血儿,哪里就有帮派。 我不小心穿越了凤凰城的“布朗骄傲”的道路。 看,这就是黑人和西班牙裔之间的区别。 黑人是有分区的。 混血帮派出现在最奇怪的地方。 如果你付钱给我,我就不会住在边境州。 而这些是最温暖的。

    美国有夏威夷? 好的,是的。 欧洲没有夏威夷。 这就是为什么美国白人是白人——我假设你自己也是白人。

    当然,我对美国的看法与你不同。 我是一名来自后工业时代的密歇根州铁锈带的白人中产阶级,在亚利桑那州生活在接近贫困线的一段时间。 我与各种肤色的罪犯有过不愉快的经历,但我遇到的 Brown Pride 帮派成员是最致命的。 我知道一些严重的城市白人下层白人垃圾。 我没有去迪拜特别想念它。 我没有错过公共巴士上的黑猩猩。 我没有错过在公共汽车站换钱的黑人暴徒的威胁气氛。 我没有错过持续提供的快克、海洛因。 我并没有错过那些在冰毒上连线的白色调整者。 事实上,我没有错过种族暴力的威胁,这在美国需要更多的外交才能避免,而不是我在海外开展业务所需的外交。 我认识一些白人女孩,她们的生活在他们飘入黑人暴徒的轨道时被毁了。

    现在不要误会我的意思。 住在爱达荷州中产阶级郊区的人没有这些问题。 如果您的孩子去有 4-H 俱乐部的公立学校,那么走廊很可能不会充斥着帮派或毒品。 美国的城市和农村体验非常不同。

    我对费城的唯一了解来自汤姆·斯凯里特 (Tom Skerrit) 的那部老电影《反击》,在那里他扮演了成为义警的意大利熟食店老板。 我没在城里待过。

    我只从在密歇根州东南部长大的人的角度说话。 我想念的地方很少。 经济不景气,实际上我在海外的工作比我在密歇根的工作要好。 那里没有人有钱。

    只需少量资金,您就可以在亚洲开展业务。 我认识一些美国人,他们晚年在东南亚做得很好。

    主要是生活质量。

    但是,未来的外籍人士应该注意。 45 岁时,我在美国从未拥有过任何东西。 我无家可归。 我在美国没有妻子或孩子。 我在亚洲存钱。 成年人所做的一切——买房子、创业、结婚、生孩子——我在海外做过。 我 25 年离开时只有 1999 岁。

    所以积极的一面是我错过了严峻的布什时代。 我没有经历过 9-11 的偏执(我在迪拜,但从未感到偏执)。 我避免了大萧条,这并没有影响我在迪拜的工作。 我搬到了东南亚,再也没有经历过寒冷的冬天。

    但是在国外度过了一生之后,我在美国几乎没有。 当有机会移居海外时,我没有回头。 但是避免离婚强奸、乡下人、黑人暴徒、Cholo Mestizos、税收、财产价值下降等的缺点是,我在美国的收入为零。

    • 回复: @Stonehands
  209. 我可以重复甚至放大杰夫,因为我年纪大了,在底层有更多的经验,但我会坚持你的观点。

    你的论点归结为:美国更好,因为钓鱼、枪支、公共厕所、免费自来水、英语和夏威夷。

    不是我的人不能拥有枪支,所以就这样了; 并不是说我什至想与 groids 或 cholos 进行枪战,这几乎就是如此。 从来没有想过“包白尾”。 此外,我从未有过购买枪支的可支配收入。

    钓鱼很棒,希望我能做得更多,但在执照、装备、去那里需要的卡车或车辆等之间,它相当昂贵。 虽然不像在美国那样容易完成,但我现在所在的地方有更多的钓鱼机会。

    免费自来水无疑是一种不错的选择,因为我讨厌在餐厅收取 2 美元的水费。 而且我承认随身携带背包和水瓶并不是我理想的出行方式。

    在我所在的地方使用厕所并不像西欧那样棘手。 这可能需要做一些事情,但令人惊讶的是,这里的社会信任度相对较高,所以要么他们不问你在做什么,要么你用语言中的一些礼貌的话来润滑车轮:问题已解决。

    我想几乎每个人都喜欢说自己的语言,但我不会错过美国方言,那里充斥着讽刺、回避、被动攻击、PC Tourette's 以及我什至不想去想的各种其他狗屎关于。

    我什至不会把“夏威夷”作为理由。 正如杰夫暗示的那样,白人不会整天躺在阳光下,即使我愿意,我也不会乘坐越洋航班去做。 此外,东南亚是一个更好的交易,不是我关心它,并且没有对“haolis”或那些肥胖的弱智untermenschen所说的仇恨。

    我对美国的怀念:

    – 您可以隐藏,短期或长期; 其他大部分地方连挖鼻孔漏水都难找地方,人口密度比较大
    – 如果需要,更容易入店行窃
    ——美国人守时、直率、高效、开朗、诚实; 在我所在的地方,效率受到根深蒂固的需要或悲惨的行为的影响
    – 几乎所有种族的每个人都遵守对线条的尊重
    – 黑人令人讨厌但很有趣:我想念和兄弟们一起胡说八道,我想念姐妹们的甜蜜和幽默,当他们不说话时
    – 便宜的墨西哥食物,起诉我

  210. 好吧,你年纪大了,但我支持我在美国有更多的糟糕经历,因为你比我早离开了。

    没什么可回去的,一样。 从来没有什么开始。 这里的大多数人都假设有什么东西,并且很难理解什么都没有。 但是我遇到了越来越多的人,他们开始了解美国对白人来说有多糟糕。

  211. 很多关于美国多么伟大的谩骂都来自那些已经拥有它的人,通常是婴儿潮一代或年龄相近的人。 但是,如果您不制作它,则永远不会制作。 除非你是拉特里诺什么的。

    如果你没有那辆卡车、那支步枪或贸易工作,或者你负担不起修牙的费用,他们就会对你提出旧的教条:“你一定不想要它/工作不够努力。”

    毕竟,Joe Everyman 有三份工作,五辆卡车,十张嘴要吃饭,每晚只睡四个小时,做综合格斗和举重,每天喝十加仑咖啡。 他是模特。 如果你不是他,那是你自己该死的错。

    比沮丧和沮丧更糟糕的一件事是,富人不断告诉你这是你的错,这几乎是美国资本主义修辞的唯一合乎逻辑的选择。 你怎么不完全自我实现,能负担得起我能买得起的一切,你他妈的失败者。 这是美国。

    即使它半真半假,也会令人反感,并且有足够的理由让他妈的离开那里。

    我已经研究了在柬埔寨开展业务的各个角度 - 我在金边有一些朋友。 柬埔寨商务签证是每年最容易在当地旅行社收取少量费用的签证。 有了互联网,我可以在 PP、Kep、Kampot 甚至西哈努克城搜索某人餐厅的真实情况。 我最初来自纽约,当商业气氛变得过于沉闷时,我放弃了一切,在经过多次轮胎踢球后定居在费城。 关键是——我和你一样用脚投票。
    虽然这里的政治和零售环境绝对是个坑,但我仍然很喜欢这里的海岸和波科诺斯,以及快速驾驶和钓鱼以及这里所有的好东西。 但每年在菲律宾、巴厘岛或越南冲浪一两个月也不错。 你的想法是正确的 - 在亚洲的任何地方都是一种完全不同的氛围,告别西方已经变成的整个集群总是一个选择。

    夏威夷在美国。

    无论你去美国哪里,那个经济体制下的普遍情况都是一样的。 同样的税收,同样的文化退化,同样的 911 后老大哥偏执狂,同样在阿富汗拖了 18 年的长期战争,在很多人都知道为什么它首先发生之后(你能想象在 2001 年仍然在格林纳达 83美国在 2001 年入侵多年后?我不可能在 XNUMX 年有),同样的统治精英富豪,同样的文化战争……好吧,黑人暴徒和乔洛人少了(虽然看一眼狗赏金猎人节目就会发现夏威夷有他们)但仍然是同样的白人调整者和充满敌意的当地人,他们真的不喜欢 Haole 或任何被称为白人的人。

    大多数像我这样的职业移民会住在东欧,然后我们会因为天气原因住在夏威夷或佛罗里达。

    东南亚的天气也一样,你可以更容易地结识女性,而且价格也不是天文数字。

    此外,您可以在亚洲开办微型企业,但夏威夷完全属于公司所有。 对我来说,这就是我不会住在美国的原因之一。 无论如何,这些天公司不会为他们的员工做千斤顶。 没有医疗保健,CEO 在需要纾困时偷取 401K(就像我们在大衰退中看到的那样)……等等。

    所以夏威夷是热带的事实与我无关。 迪拜和后来的东南亚的天气比大底特律好这一事实是一个奖励,但几乎不是激励因素。 亚利桑那州的天气比密歇根州东南部的天气好,如果你每年付给我六位数,我就不会靠近那个 Cholo Mestizo Aztec Zombie Red Indian Scalper 杂交和吸毒的乡下人出没的地方。

    外籍人士住在海外不是为了女性——有些人希望你这么想,以免激怒那些别无选择只能坚持在他们出生地生活的爱国城镇,因为他们缺乏移居海外的金钱、自由或适应技能。 或者为了天气。 或者对于当地文化。

    在内心深处,我们只想远离我们的出生地。 这里的一些外籍海报经历了长达十年的糟糕经历。 在 25 年 1999 岁的一次机会邀请到迪拜让我永远离开美国之前,我只经历了几年的糟糕经历。

    一些美国人在出国时发生了奇怪的转变。 一些美国人想家了。 他们希望尽快回到他们的社区和社区。 然后你让人们处于中间位置; 他们去海外,有有趣的经历,享受自己,但五年后,这些只是他们在家里书房的照片……然后是像我这样的第三组,他们在国外呆了一天不想回美国无论如何,他们将用余生做任何工作合同,甚至经营少女酒吧,只是为了永远不再回到美国。

    可能我所属的后一组人一开始就在美国从来没有真正快乐过。

    例如,大多数长期外派人员是工人阶级或中下层男性,而不是上层中产阶级。 我们更有可能是单身汉,一开始就没有多少美国梦。

    这对于宁愿住在菲律宾的 Neepah Hut 而不是 Hood 的黑人退休人员来说最为明显,因为这样更安全。 我见过的非洲裔美国人很少关心美国。 他们为什么要? 他们会错过什么? 胡德通常比东南亚更像是第三世界。

    我住在海外,因为对我来说,对于像我这样收入微薄的人来说,美国从根本上是低人一等的,从根本上来说是令人不快的。 在国外,我不回答任何人。 我对那些抱怨好莱坞形成他们的观点的海报嗤之以鼻……一个外籍人士除了他们所看到的外,什么都不相信。 我对 MSM 提出的概念嗤之以鼻。 我不会在美国再呆一天,因为害怕街头的黑猩猩。 虽然我并不完全害怕贫民窟的黑人或 Cholo Mestizos,我只是蔑视白人垃圾捣乱者,但我无法忍受再花一个小时和他们一起坐公共汽车的想法。 人生苦短,必须把自己的潜能发挥到极致。 如果像我这样的中产阶级在密歇根东南部工作,没有人会这样做。

    想象一下,如果每个白人都像我或 Linh 先生帖子中的其他一些海报一样。 或者每个亚裔美国人。 如果我们都离开了怎么办? 如果我们有一半人离开美国会怎样。 就我个人而言,我不知道为什么像密歇根这样的地方有更多像我这样的工人阶级或中下阶层的白人不只是清算并打包并移居海外。

    密歇根 vs 海外?

    好吧,我在亚洲、迪拜或印度从来没有像我在东部大一时在伊普西兰蒂那样感到濒临灭绝(我在一次企图抢劫后转到了中部)。

    唔。 我在安娜堡出生并成长为中产阶级。 我在海外度过了我的一生,并有一个有效的意见。

    如果您住在霍顿湖或阿尔皮纳,您将不会遇到太多犯罪。 但是冬天有五英尺的雪,你在室内呆了六个月。 冬天的黑冰和折断卡车是您最需要担心的。 尽管如此,农村贫困仍然相当严重。 四十岁的大学毕业生从事零售业。

    黑人暴力并没有比三城更北。 但是,它具有潜在的致命性。 而且经常是无缘无故的。 当黑人暴徒袭击时,他们打算造成严重的伤害或死亡。 这在东南亚乃至阿拉伯世界都是罕见的。 在密歇根州的城市,很常见。 在密歇根州的城市中,白人女性被强奸也很常见,黑人人口众多,而且是随机的、闪电式的。

    在亚洲,以谋杀为目的的随机恶性暴力更为罕见。 换句话说,我从来没有因为它而感到危险。

    在 Central 之后的几年里,我和我从弗林特认识的一位名叫斯坦利的波兰裔美国人谈过话。 他为 CMU 踢足球,因为他让一个波兰天主教女孩怀孕而退学。 他对弗林特的描述是黯淡的。 我问他为什么留在那里,他告诉我他不能把房子送人。 这就是像 Flint 或 Ypsi 这样的城市的问题。 如果你出生在那里,你就不能放弃你的房子。

    我祖母在沃伦-底特律边境的公寓售价仅为她 20 年购买时价值的 1986%。

    我只去过开罗。 所以我不太了解北非,虽然我很喜欢埃及。 同样,开罗不是很危险,是一个繁荣的城市。 密歇根州的城市即使在不危险的情况下也是暗淡和破败的。 密歇根州的道路很糟糕。

    美国的问题之一是取决于你的收入,你总是处于危险之中。 除非你想住在霍顿湖上五英尺厚的雪中。 好的。 但在那种情况下,你就像《闪灵》中的杰克尼科尔森一样。 隔离的。

    1000 年,我住在凤凰城,每月 1998 美元——这是当时的入门级工资——并且不止一次受到墨西哥乔洛斯的威胁。 Brown Pride 和其他墨西哥帮派在低收入地区出没。

    当然,美国是成为中上阶层的好地方。 土地便宜又丰富。 郊区非常好。 工资低,所以员工可以得到微薄的报酬。 小城镇常常是田园诗般的。 但美国下层阶级的墨西哥人和黑人是致命的。 他们是世界上最致命的人。 不受约束的白色城市垃圾也可能是致命的。

    但是告诉我你真的希望你的女儿去普通的弗林特或底特律公立学校。 美国的公立学校很糟糕。 XNUMX 岁的黑人暴徒仍在九年级游荡,在中学走廊里对七年级的白人女孩进行性欺凌。 或者任何女孩。

    密歇根州的城市一片黯淡。 奇怪的是,它们的不祥品质是人口不足而不是人口过多。 我去过印度和亚洲人口过多的城市。 但密歇根州的城市是半荒芜/废弃的亚北极鬼城。 底特律因此而闻名于世。

    密歇根等州的有趣之处在于,它们不像南方或纽约的居民那样对地方和爱国主义产生同样的狂热热爱。 例如,密歇根州是如此凄凉,以至于即使是在那里出生和长大的人也不会像德克萨斯人那样热爱这个地方。 密歇根州的外籍人士不像美国其他地方的人那样充满爱国主义和对出生地的热爱……很难爱上密歇根州。

    中国的城市是香港,许多人会争辩说它仍然是,有些人声称它是任何地方、时期、曾经最好的他妈的城市,因为它和任何地方一样精致和美丽,所有设施一应俱全,而且非常安全。

    谢谢你,先生。 在海外生活并在世界各地做生意后,我得出了与土生土长的香港人相同的结论。 你也注意到,即使政府松口,抗议也不会停止,因为问题的根源是根深蒂固的,在基因层面。 香港人是上世纪动乱中逃离中国的人的后裔。 他们背弃了祖国,拒绝了自己的中国人身份。

    他们对中国人的恨就是他们对自己的恨。 范思哲这个犯规的大陆人让他们想起了太多自己。 他们卑微的开始和屈辱的过去。 正如以色列沙米尔所说,黑鬼综合症。

    解决办法是把所有这些孩子都送到美国住一段时间。 亲眼看看费城、布朗克斯和底特律,并获得一些视角。 他们都会带着对世界上最好的城市的新发现的欣赏感爬回来......就像我一样。

    你对布朗克斯的想法已经过时了。 费城和底特律仍然一团糟……但布朗克斯已经重建。 很多中国人现在已经搬进了东哈莱姆区——这是以前的禁区。 像其他团体一样,他们会短途跳入布朗克斯。 也就是说——在布朗克斯最糟糕的 70 年代——香港也充斥着街头暴力、政府腐败和许多地方的肮脏住房。 人们往往以某种方式对历史有偏见。 英属香港的乌托邦从未存在过。 但它确实为中国人提供了一个资本主义的避风港和安全的地方,让他们努力奋斗并取得成就。 但是是的,现在大陆接受了资本主义,他们中的许多人现在比香港人更有钱——是的,仇恨发展了。 他们曾经是悲伤和可怜的大陆人——甚至到了 80 年代末和 90 年代初。 确实 - 事情变化的速度有多快。

    希望这一切都清除了。

  255. Loremipsum 说:
    @The Wild Geese Howard

    我可能与你们中的许多人在不同的船上,但我得出的结论与@jeffstryker 非常相似。

    4年前我离开了美国。 我是稳固的中上阶层:作为一家大型媒体公司的高级经理,在纽约每年赚 380 万,就在美国宣传的中心。 老婆赚了100万。 所以每年接近 XNUMX 万美元,住在曼哈顿,我们过得很好。 无论如何,我并不觉得富有,但我从来不必考虑我的银行账户余额。

    但是我看了看我必须做些什么才能赚到相对微不足道的钱(与城市中的金融掠夺阶级相比),它就不再有意义了。

    12 小时天。 一整天都在电话中,接收来自我的老板、CEO 的电子邮件。 令人作呕的“派对”,孩子们在我面前受到虐待,我不得不假装很享受。 永远向为我工作的 100 人撒谎,说事情有多棒,公司有多令人兴奋,我们都有多创新。 我无法将欺骗与蔓延的道德败坏相提并论。 更不用说我收入的 50% 都捐给了政府。 为了什么? 轰炸牧羊人?

    于是我出去了。 搬到“国外”。 在过去的 4 年里,我有幸能够选择我住的地方。 我们还太年轻,不能退休(都是 40 岁),所以在过去 50 年里我们访问了 4 个左右的国家,试图决定我们的下一步行动。

    也许我的观点已经改变了,但我没有想念美国。 我很少在当地的英文报纸上读到一篇关于以色列的文章。 我在当地图书馆没有遇到变性故事时间。 我从来没有感到不安全(除了我小镇上的几条狗)。 我不必看恶心的肥胖者(除非我访问芭堤雅或安吉利斯)。 如果要求某人澄清他们在说什么,那是因为他们说的是我试图理解的合法外语,而不是 Ebonics 或 Adorno-inflected #metoo 垃圾。

    SEA 仍然是物有所值的最佳选择。 我每天最多工作 2-3 小时。 我们都远程一年挣 100 万左右。 由于我们不返回美国,因此我们不为此纳税。 如果你很聪明的话,200k 在 SEA 可以让你像一个小独裁者一样生活。 我们将储蓄存入实际赚取利息的银行账户。 我有足够的从投资到实际 投资 在那些没有微不足道的国家,并伪造了 2% 的 GDP 增长。 你曾经住在 GDP 为 7% 或 8% 的地方吗? 很消沉

    我一直在和美国的朋友聊天,当他们没有用酒精淹没他们的痛苦或用锅来“创造”时,他们似乎都没有意识到任何人都可以做我们正在做的事情。

    旅行从未如此简单。 在国外寻找长期公寓不需要学习语言。 只需单击一个按钮。 您甚至不必向出租车司机解释您要去哪里。 再次单击一个按钮。

    在曼谷、深圳、伊斯坦布尔、吉隆坡、台北、釜山等城市,我有更高的生活质量和更有趣的体验,更不用说班斯科、巴统、都灵或安塔利亚等小城镇了。 只是没有可比性。

    我唯一的遗憾是我没有早点做。

    • 回复: @Jeff Stryker
  256. @Loremipsum

    先生,您的观点比我的漫无边际更好,但请允许我用要点来回应-

    ......我永远不会成为任何中产阶级。 或者中下阶层。 我差点嫁给一个大学里的女孩,她成为了一名科学老师。 几年后,我们在社交媒体上取得了联系,并进入了我作为外籍人士的职业生涯。 她告诉我她的简历。 在密歇根州东南部底特律郊外的公立学校里教孩子们的一系列糟糕经历之后,当一名黑人九年级学生在课堂上挥舞着刀时,我们俩都来自那里,事情达到了最低点。 她搬到爱达荷州,现在在一个小镇任教。 美好的。 美国的农村地区如此偏远和孤立,城市下层阶级不会因为缺乏公共交通等便利设施而住在那里……但我喜欢生活在热闹的城市,不想像杰克尼科尔森一样被孤立和大雪覆盖在《闪灵》中。 亚洲城市相当安全,总是充满活力,天气宜人。 美国的农村生活可能很崎岖。 你必须拥有一个四轮。 你早上醒来,把车上的雪铲掉。 你住在一些通风良好的农舍里,沿着一条有车辙的土路驱车一英里到达城镇。

    您提出的第二点是关于 ME 战争中无休止的费用。 将美国的基础设施与迪拜——一个我生活了十年的中东国家的基础设施进行比较。 在美国在 ME 抽水马桶上的支出给美国留下了烂桥、倒塌的基础设施、道路上的巨大坑洼、腐朽的建筑物……迪拜和其他石油丰富的国家繁荣昌盛的时候。 我知道,因为我在迪拜和阿曼工作过。 将 1999 年的美国预算盈余与现在的赤字进行比较。 特朗普谈论入侵墨西哥? 好主意。

    当这个网站上的成年人来到这里并抱怨好莱坞正在形成他们的观点时,这很可怜。 可怜。 一群恋童癖的可乐头在马里布或圣费尔南多的龙舌兰酒射手上写左翼的胡言乱语,在那里恶棍总是由莎士比亚英国演员扮演,比如 DIE HARD,黑人和墨西哥人是英雄,成年人相信垃圾。 花一天时间在美国任何一个城市乘坐公共巴士,看看现实是多么不同。 谁有时间坐下来看一些名叫莎拉·西尔弗曼的中年荡妇滔滔不绝地谈论她变态性生活的肮脏细节,以及有多少像吉米·金梅尔这样的外邦人对她进行性剥削? 我宁愿去探索一个新的国家,谢谢。 当我这样做时,我没有花时间看莎拉·西尔弗曼 (Sarah Silverman) 谈论外邦人如何滥用她的肛门和直肠。 当我还是美国的年轻人时,色情是为连环杀手和性欲强的青少年提供的暴民资助业务,现在美国人抱怨“沉迷于色情”。

    当我还是个年轻人时,人们在大学毕业后就戒烟了。 任何在 30 岁以后每天被石头打死的人都是失败者。 Pot 是为十几岁的 Sean Penn 冲浪者和大学时代的嬉皮士准备的。

    我年轻时离开了美国。 我当时只有 25 岁。现在我很感激我的大学女朋友和我分手了。 她可以成为爱达荷州小镇的八年级科学老师,并在一年六个月的早晨铲除汽车上的积雪。 或者学习西班牙语,这样她就可以生活在佛罗里达或亚利桑那等温暖的州。 新墨西哥州领导贩毒集团的方式很快就会从州长官邸出售海洛因。

    我离开美国的那一年,他们选出了一个酗酒的流浪汉,这似乎让我走下坡路。 二十年后,每个城市的白人家庭都无家可归。 回到 1999 年,唯一无家可归的白人是疯子和酒鬼。 没有人负担得起上大学。 回到 1990 年代我年轻的时候,任何人都可以从文凭工厂毕业。 哈佛对大多数人来说太贵了,但任何人都可以上密歇根中央大学。 早在 1999 年,只有纯白色垃圾才有非婚生子女。 现在每个人都是。

    我从来没有富裕过,但无论如何我觉得很幸运。 当我年轻时,一个机会让我出国,没有配偶、家属、抵押贷款、债务或其他任何东西让我留在美国。

    这也是我的预测。 许多 X 世代和 Y 世代男性将清算并最终在东南亚或东欧退休。 他们将别无选择。 他们将负担不起在美国退休的费用,当您可以在东南亚的热带海滩上闲逛时,您可以与其他退休人员分享一些破旧的合作社,在您身边看着太阳消失在海中时,您会看到昏暗的美景?

    再过 20 年,亚洲和东欧的经济将扩张,​​因为数百万月生活费为 1000 美元的 X 一代退休人员涌入菲律宾。

  257. @Muggles

    我也在 Facebook 上注意到了这一点。 当文章是关于移民和类似主题时,它就会出现。 一般是本地新闻报道。

    你会看到账户用普通的白人名字发表评论——例如“丹·史密斯”。 他们总是以某种方式发表亲全球主义的评论,用奇怪的、过度抛光的英语来表达你对蓝领白人的期望。

    我被这个稍微偏离英语的人激怒了,所以我检查了帐户。 在这些账户中的每一个中,都有一些看起来像普通人账户上的照片——房子、雪人、湖泊、某人的背影。 但很明显,他们没有真正的身份。 我看到它们一遍又一遍地出现。 不同的名字。 同样的东西。

    保持警惕。 我不知道他们是中国人、印度人还是加拿大人。 但是肯定有很多全球主义付费巨魔。 感谢您提出这个问题。

    有些是伪装成蓝领成年白人的白人青少年。 那个自称是 60 岁兽医的家伙实际上是 17 岁,他的房间是锁着的,所以他的父母不会发现他在自慰。

    好吧,意大利人和希腊人和犹太人形成了民族社区。 多伦多有一些。 意大利人并没有像其他群体那样受到反白人的蹂躏。

    但总的来说,白人在美国还是一个白人殖民地的时候就来到了美国,机会把他们带到了他们带他们去的地方。

    我认为这是帮助其他人逃脱的巨大机会。 不仅作为一种商业或致富的来源,而且作为一种道德和政治清算。

    只要美元还有一定的名义价值,那些年轻有技能的人,或者中年有技术的人,就可以在海外建立真正的企业。 或者投资套利。

    美国不会投票解决它的问题。

    那些日子——如果它们曾经存在过——早已一去不复返了。

    腐烂没有政治解决办法。 腐烂已经吞噬了一切。 它已成为结构。

    也许这是一个婴儿潮一代的谬论,或者真的是一种祈祷形式,每四年一个红队的受膏老人会以某种方式使生活比蓝队的另一个老人更好。 我不敢相信人们仍然会为之倾倒,但他们确实如此。 有些人能够看穿它。 更多的将随之而来。

    据说我是在美国成功的。 美国前两所学校的MBA和本科生。 银行账户中的 8 位数流动性。 对于我的税收农业大师来说,我是一个很好的小家伙。

    但我认为,当像我这样的人揭开帷幕,看看另一边是什么时,就会发生两件事之一:我们要么努力争取更多,要么深入了解堕落。 或者我们感到恶心并逃跑。

    我选择了后者。

    在美国,我担心的还有很多。 好人,成功的男人,背负着 30 年的抵押贷款,自闭症儿童,“慢性疼痛综合症”,带着毫无意义的钱包收藏的妻子。 用处方药杀死自己,用 Netflix 的“狂欢观看”麻痹好奇的智力,用红色/蓝色的政治剧院来满足他们的无能为力。

    如果他们可以离开,他们就会离开。 但是他们已经瘫痪了。 这不是意外。

    但是仍然有很多可以达到的。 那是有帮助的。 我并不特别。 我刚看完。 我想其他人也会。
