Posts about Indian students stealing from Food Banks by people like @slatzism and I apparently upset some very vindictive Indian Users for being ‘Anti-Indian’. They are so upset they are coordinating in chats like ‘Indian Cyber Defenders’ Telegram for mass reporting and doxxing!
These people really hold grudges even when they know they’re in the wrong!
Some highlights from other posts and accounts these Indian Dox Rings are trying to report, including mass reporting an AI image of an Indian shitting so hard that he has launched himself into space - “Our Reportings”
The fetishisation of foreign groups alongside a complete lack of Theory of Mind for or non-surface level knowledge about their countries has been called ‘Provincial Cosmopolitanism’. Cultural and ethnic background have no bearing on behaviour and are only aesthetic differences
For the Shitlib / Hicklib / Provincial Middle Class set actual knowledge of / interest in foreign cultures normally really only extends to food. This cosmopolitanism about food is a status marker but no distinction is made between food cosmopolitanism and real cosmopolitanism - which would be a more substantive model of a Theory of Mind for a people, knowledge about their culture, history etc. - which are conflated for often self-aggrandising reasons. It’s very rare to find one who can actually tell you anything about say India other than that they eat curry. This attitude also exists alongside a belief that these cultures which you know nothing about are richer or superior to one’s own
I obviously really like Bukele but El Salvador is a very illustrative case of elite capture, a third world Guatelombia with Guatelombian social mores taken over by NrX blog-reading Moldbugian Bay Area Dark Elves with a great social media game, a kind of Club Tropical Excellente
Lindy in a very Laws of Manu way though. I visited El Salvador recently and drove around a bit, country and people look mostly indistinguishable from other parts of (provincial) Central and South America. Very dilapidated in many places, slum-like in others, lots of people with very precolumbian physiognomies in combat get-up holding guns… if you go in bars a lot of them will pat you down for weapons etc. What there is however are little very first world pockets which would be very nice to live in. There’s a whole upmarket surf and party area for the tech bro castizos that’s a real standout called El Tunco which is very much ‘my conscious community in the Guatemalan Hills’, you can pay for everything in Bitcoin. Lots of ‘beautiful people’ there you’ll only ever see in the gated communities, not on the street. Qualifier is it’s guarded by a bunch of gruff-looking nahua men with assault rifles who ‘discourage’ beggars from the local villages trying to get in, but it’s otherwise a really nice place
In all, the recent changes are an encouraging sign that with enough capture of the right kind of cool elite demographics you can restore competent government fairly quickly, some vindication there for our friends the elite theorists maybe

Being WEIRD even by Hajnal Line standards likely goes some way towards explaining the apparent fetish Anglosphere countries have for mass immigration and elevating minorities in their countries - in a far more obsessive way than on the continent
On elevating minorities, you will notice the relative overabundance of minority politicians in Britain vs other European countries where this just does not happen to same degree, even among leftists - A selection of recent Government Cabinets in Sweden, Germany, Spain and France
How are historical artefacts looked after in the Third World? It’s true that they don’t get destroyed but very often they’re left to rot in sparse, run-down museums with flickering lights that nobody visits. On what many Third World Museums are like 🧵
Moving past the question of ‘should they be returned?’, many Westerners and Diaspora Groups agitating for returns have an skewed idea of what the Third World museums these artefacts would be returned to are actually like. They are not the same kind of museum you find in the west
For one, the general condition of the museums; these are often in small or underutilised buildings and are empty, sparsely decorated and badly labelled. The displays are frequently poor and uninformative. The museums are often grimy and not well-maintained, have flickering lights
