Look, if I were to live in this town, in this tribe, and I speak this language. I grow up here. Is not paradise, but is ok. I know some people, some shops where I buy food from, I have a life routine. Then some people from other tribes come here, they do not speak the local language (the only one I know), they may sell drugs on the streets, make a bit of a mess, are loud and different…I will get bothered! It is normal. Let alone if they come in with all sorts of crazy ideas like religion…it may feel like a nightmare to me. We have to understand this aspect too.

But also the fact that the vast majority of immigrants are going to integrate and are as good or bad as the locals. Only a minority of immigrants go on to commit crimes, especially violent ones. And broadly, the crimes committed by immigrants are a mix of political and media exaggeration, socio-economic pressures, police practices, discrimination, etc..

Perhaps the most telling example is what the teacher Jane Elliott did with her students in 1968.

She thought to divide the kids based on the color of their eyes: Blue Eyes and Brown Eyes. One day she would treat one group better at the expenses of the other. She quickly noticed that the group that was treated better, performed better, were happier, etc., and the opposite was true for the other group of kids who struggled in class.

Soon she started to see how the kids hated each other, and insulted each other based on this random physical difference.

I recommend the documentary A Class Divided to see the purest example of where the hatred against “the others” usually comes from and how physical differences emerge as weapons in this fight.

A Class Divided (trailer)

Ironically when Romania became part of the EU some 20 years ago, many poor Romanians “invaded” the other EU countries to make a living, just like my family did. And with it came a lot of crimes since these Romanians were desperate to make money, and could not easily get good jobs abroad, didn’t know other languages, and so forth, therefore stealing, scamming, and lying were efficient tools to make a quick buck. And so for many years “Romanians” were the “Gypsies” of Europe. You would feel a bit ashamed to say that you are Romanian, since many thought of them as thieves and scammers. Same Romanians discriminating against Gypsies. The irony…

But now that less and less Romanians are engaging in these “acts of making a quick buck” and more and more have “real jobs” and a better life in Europe, the hate and discrimination against Romanians kinda faded away.

Irony again: People from Pakistan and India started to migrate to Romania for a better wage. Considering Romania has some of the lowest, if not the lowest wages in Europe, I am shocked anyone would migrate there for making money. But well, since now the Pakistani and Indians can work for even less than the Romanians, often for food delivery services, there seem to be an anger against these “brown intruders” who take our jobs and do not speak our language or care about our culture. Such an irony.

See how the pressures from our Trade Based society change who we see as the “others”, the bad ones, the dirty, the uneducated?

Is true that between 1990 and 2010 in the UK there were a lot of sexually abused children and is thought the vast majority of the abusers were indeed of this race called Pakistani Muslim.

From Wikipedia:

A 2013 report by the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee describes a group first making contact with the child in a public place. After the group’s initial contact with the child, offers of treats (takeaway food, cigarettes, drugs) persuade the child to maintain the relationship. Sometimes a boy similar in age presents himself as a “boyfriend”; this person arranges for the child to be raped by other members of the group. Children may end up being raped by dozens of these group members, and may be trafficked to connected groups in other towns.

This sounds like organized child rape and trafficking.

There are ongoing investigations since the case is not that simple. Might be over reporting of these groups of people to the police and under-reporting for other groups. Or vice versa. Might be that many Pakistani Muslims can more easily get jobs in the taxi industry, combine that with the UK night life, and there you go, more chances for this “other race” to encounter vulnerable girls at night. There are many ideas and theories, and you can read about it here.

Point is this cancerous situation between the “british” and “pakistani muslims” in this case, comes from some nuggets of truth. Crime, violence, abuse, discrimination. But of course blaming this group or that group of people is like saying the cause of lung cancer is smoking tobacco, without even once considering the marketing of the Tobacco Industries, their lobbies of governments, their deception and lies, the Trade Society itself or the fact that many poor people smoke as a stress reliever. You have to go deeper, else you do not understand much, so there will be no solution in sight. You blame the Pakistani Muslims today, the Chinese tomorrow, or Jews, or Gypsies, or the “hipsters”, the black and brown, the Mexicans…

The truth is that a lot, if not most culture clashes happen because of our Trade Based Society. People are forced into migrating from one part to another on this semi-round rock. Combine that with the fact that most such humans are specialized workers who know little about the world or have no time to learn, and the mix is as good as putting 100 crying babies in one tiny room. Or 20 snakes, 30 goats, 2 lions, 23 alligators, and 14 otters. Plus 200 rats. Same room. You can even keep the crying babies there for fun.

I came to Catalonia because my parents were so poor they had to leave Romania and come work as slaves almost, in this Catalonian “paradise”. Better paid yes, but also overworked, illegal working contracts, badly treated.

When I came to Catalonia I did not care about their culture, or language. I didn’t even know they speak Catalan and not Spanish. As far as I knew, I came to Spain. I had no idea about Catalonia’s history, or Spain’s history, or anything else. I came here because of socio-economic pressures and was here to try to have a better life for myself and my family.

Do you think my father would give a flying fuck about the Catalan Culture when he was working 6-7 days a week, 12 hours a day? Look how he looked, like a zombie.

And we know countless people in very similar situations who came to Catalonia because of the same poverty reasons. From Europe, South America, Africa…

Is not easy to leave your family in Romania, let alone Africa, and come work in Catalonia in the tourism industry, or in a field somewhere picking up apples. This is hardly a choice…If these people would have had a good life in their tribes, for sure they would have stayed there.

TROM News is BACK!!!

Here it is news.tromsite.com/

We live in a world of misinformation and AI-slop, so it is harder than ever to know who to trust, what is real, what is exaggerated, what is propaganda or what is a commercial.

Over the past years we gathered a lot of trustworthy news sources around TROM, sources that are often used for our TROM materials or discovered via them. And so we compiled a list of the best, use their RSS feeds, and automatically pull them in one place. We focus on news from Science, Technology, Health, Society and Environment.

We try to make sure this is not a blind and overwhelming list of news, but a varied and relevant one. At times we may delete some sources/news if the news stream becomes too crowded.

Another huge advantage of this project is that it acts as a curated search engine. In time we will gather many thousands of news items therefore expanding the usability of the search engine.

On top of the news we also pull feeds from some interesting Youtube channels that are science/tech oriented.
