  • and it promotes harmony between different cultures in a way I’ve never seen - you can’t talk shit about anyone based on religion, for example.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_religion_in_Singapore

    “The Sedition Act also prohibits seditious acts and speech which “promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between different races or classes of the population of Singapore,” and the Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act (MRHA) empowers the Minister for Home Affairs to take a pre-emptive approach by issuing restraining orders against a religious leader that has committed or is attempting to commit certain acts threatening religious harmony.”

    it’s a microcosm of different cultures crushed together with little room for debate, should things go partisan conflict tragedies would rapidly ensue; but the restrictions on freedom of speech seem fraught with potential pitfalls…

    I look at Singapore like Taiwan - they seem to genuinely try to do the best for a broader range than most, and each face unique ethnic and geographic complexities that they’ve overcome through enginuity and clever, hard working populaces.

    But yeah, murdering people for pot… fuck man…










  • I suspect most of our ancestors would be properly ashamed of the way things have turned out…

    Stalin would take one look at what Putin’s done to russia - PUTIN MIND, not the 90s / end of the cold war, PUTIN - and have him in a fucking gulag posthaste. Or a ditch.

    Imagine what Churchill would think of Conservatives, Labour and Brexit.

    FDR would stand up out of his chair and bitchslap trump until his hair ran off.

    Maybe Mao would look at Xi’s china and shrug? I dunno there.

    Strange times.
