If you’re in a public space, people may be filming you.
It’s a PUBLIC space, not yours. Your lack of self-control will rightly get you fucked up if you assault the wrong person, and there’ll be a good chance of everyone watching a satisfying video of you getting punched while trying to take someone’s phone.
TLDR: Control yourself, tough guy.

Indian American boomers
Many westerners idolize, fetishize, and fantasize about Japanese culture, history, and people.
And while the Japanese deserve hearty praise for their aesthetics, cultural philosophy, poetry, martial disciplines, and contributions and achievements in science and engineering, even the most casual of perusal of their history reveals that, for many centuries, and one could argue currently, they have been a society of masochists ruled by sadists.
Alas, aren’t we all, I suppose.
My wife has more dense layers than convolutional layers nowadays, but father time comes for us all, amirite?
I should clarify.
I’m an American not of European descent. I’m not “white”. I’m perfectly aware that I live in a country (one of several) that enslaved my people during the colonial era of western Europe.
When I was growing up in the eighties and nineties, my impression was that Europe’s lower and middle classes had largely evolved past the marriage of conservative economics, might-makes-right, and “fuck-the-brown-people-if-they-get-too-much-money” thinking behind. I’m certainly aware that “god, glory, and gold” did not start in the United States.
When I moved to the EU, in the Netherlands, I was right about my estimation but I was taken aback by some people’s parroting the conservative religious nationalist talking points that’s destroying the US currently. It’s just that it was much more than I expected.
It never stops.
Once the “others” outside of the tribe have been eradicated, the various sub-groups within the tribe will take the place of the “other”, and so on, and so forth.
Conservatism is a cancer.

Like an EMP deployed at ICE staging areas?
And you have full governance of your data.
I’m an anti-theist, who profoundly and especially despises the Abrahamic religions, but I’ll bet good money this is not about prayer calls and “Islam taking over”.
This is about him being a brown immigrant socialist.
It’s because, still in 2025 in the US, if you want publicly funded social programs for better individual outcomes in a capitalist economy, and you’re anywhere left of the fucking Einsatzgruppen, you’re a commie pinko who loves getting Eiffel-Towered by Stalin and Mao.
Being honest, though, I would say this a very American mentality, but since I immigrated to the Netherlands from the US in '22, I’m sad to say, it’s infecting Western Europe.
I’ll never understand the perverse allure of this type of thinking. I’ve had it explained to me. I’ve read The Righteous Mind by Dr. Johnathan Haight. I get it on paper, but it still seems very alien to me when people go on about “the <insertEthnicSlurHere> breathing up all our air and taking all our jobs and making things easier for the wrong people.”
Nothing will meaningfully change until the wealthy fear for their lives.
In professional wrestling, who was the Undertaker’s manager dude with the makeup and goofy voice?
That’s Bannon.
Well, based on what I saw and heard, I just don’t think I can make the logical leap to where everyone else is at. There’s also a large possibility that I’m not comprehending the subtlety involved in their messaging and language.
Overall, assuming I understand correctly, the argument is that Rossmann performs damage control for a fascist-adjacent millionaire who has a shitty software license for projects he funds.
I disagree with that take, and I suppose we just leave it there. Thanks for providing the link, at least.
And then China, Western Europe, and Russia invade the United States after it initiates massive, aggressive wars to bolster its flailing economy?
And then both sides launch nuclear weapons to end it all?
Is this the accelerationist argument?
Fuck internet points.
When in public, you can be recorded. Your permission isn’t required. Public spaces belong to all. People have the right to film, take photos, and record audio. If you don’t want that, campaign for legislation to change it. “Rudeness” isn’t a legal term. If you can’t tolerate being recorded in a public space, even “rudely”, leave. Go somewhere else. If you assault someone recording you in public, you will potentially get the shit kicked out of you by that person, bystanders, and/or cops.
The state, in a legalistic framework, has a near-monopoly on justified escalation to physical violence. The person recording you has to be assaulting you first or disturbing the peace to a degree that it endangers you or other people’s safety in order for your violence to be justified as defense.
You can’t start a fight legally, but you can finish one. “Rudeness” isn’t a good enough reason to start swinging.
So again, control yourself.
