Many Westerners don't recognise what a luxury and privilege it is to have a two-day weekend. Much of the world works six (or even seven) days a week. Westerners make lots of money without working very hard, because of racism, privilege, inequality, the legacies of colonialism, etc.

As the Western world increases mass surveillance, censorship, and authoritarianism, Sri Lanka is doing the right thing and going in the opposite direction.

How many centuries is it going to take, for Westerners to accept all living beings suffer, struggle, work, feel pain or stress, etc in some way (which is the first Noble Truth of Buddhism)?

PM #Orban: No, I don't think so. I have no doubt that, from an international law point of view, it is an act of aggression by #Russia against #Ukraine.
The question is why we decided - I mean #Westerners; #Hungary was not part of the #Western community - to change the status of #Ukraine. For two decades, #Ukraine’s political status was that of a buffer zone country. Then we started to accept that it would like to join #NATO and the #European_Union.
The unspoken demand for #Muslims specifically to hold #comfortable positions for #Westerners about their countries before getting #trust and #friendship is part of why so many groups are not #safe enough for Muslims to fully participate in.
#SocialJustice & #leftist #orgs aren't exempt.
You do not get to allow your #white members to say "#Hamas is a threat" or "anyone who supports #Iran is a #terrorist", and then ask "why are we so white/western/non-Muslim?".
#Westerners be like "#socialism doesnt work!"
Meanwhile socialism:

"Socialism, when it is not being attacked by capitalist "democracy" all the time - which it always is - outperforms capitalism manifold, if solely for the reason that not a bunch of leeches suck from it."

#Westerners have been terrified about a #communist invasion that never fucking happened. While seemingly OK tolerating #fascist regimes, actually happening in 2026.
So why is that? Because #Putin has put his own country's interests above his own in a lot of ways, in a way that #Westerners don't."
I think that the vast majority of my followers will strongly disagree. Plus, #Putin has sacrificed #Russia's interests for the sake of his imperialistic ambitions, not the other way around.

"CAUTION attention seeker with bad roots ahead!"🤣🤣🤣
#Russian foreign ministry spokesperson #Maria_Zakharova made yet another "diplomatic" statement:
"I really like all these statements by the #Westerners regarding the fact that they want to be at the negotiating table... I, for one, doubt that they will be able to sit at the table. Maybe a place under the table should already be reserved for them?"
