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.

In 2017 some leaders in Catalonia decided to allow people to vote for independence from Spain. The entire thing ended up in a lot of violence, particularly from the side of the Spanish police who was deployed to basically destroy this voting initiative. I was in Catalonia at that time. I remember it was a lot of violence of that sort.

videos.trom.tf/w/rfdBrDfQ1MQdb…

Of course people should be able to decide if they want to be independent, and not have their heads smashed by the police for trying to vote for independence, but all that considered, everyone is free to speak Catalan in Catalonia, express their cultural traditions, and so forth. The school is primarily in Catalan. Everything is in Catalan first or Catalan only. No Catalan is treated differently from a Spaniard.

So why do they want independence now?

Money? Politics? The hope that if Catalonia becomes a nation then their living standards will be higher and their culture will be more important? Their language has more chances of being preserved?

A hope for a better life if they become independent maybe?

It is hard to see how this can be the case because being an “independent” tribe is hardly doable today. Your stuff, imports and exports, media, tourism, the trade society itself, will push and pull on your language, society and culture and morph them in the process. Just like it does now. Look at the “island nation UK” who has 0 neighbors basically, is independent, is a bloody island. And yet many there complain about their culture loss, immigration, difficult living conditions, etc.. Being independent, your own tribe, is hardly a shield that can preserve your culture.

But since this Catalonian region went through a lot, it also changed in the process. Is like someone kidnapped a kid from Japan at age 8, takes her to US where she grows up. Then at the age of 40 she is free from the kidnapper. But when she returns to Japan she realizes she is not simply the same 8 year old Japanese girl. And Japan is also a different place. She speaks English and was enculturated into the American tribe.

Is she Japanese still? And what does that mean? Things have changed, and she needs to embrace her new identity.

The Catalan language is quite similar to the Spanish one nowadays because they have merged in many ways. There are so many foreigners here too from the rest of Europe but also South America. Spanish is spoken by more people in Catalonia than Catalan. Catalonia is a different girl, and no one is saying she has to forget the past trauma, but she cannot come back to before the trauma. She needs to embrace her new identity.

The Catalans experienced a sort of stage 3-4 Culture Cancer in their past.

Between 1939 and 1975 Catalonia was under the dictatorship of Franco. A terrible idiot ruling over the entire Spain, but who was particularly anti Catalonia and anything that has to do with Catalonia. He was violent and banned the Catalonian language, alongside other languages in Spain. Only the Spanish language was accepted!

No one in Catalonia was allowed to write books in Catalan, even speak Catalan. They were under a complete siege. A total destruction of their culture is what this douchebag wanted.

In one of the Catalonian towns they shouted: “Catalan dogs! You are not worthy of the sun that shines on you.”

Needless to say Franco’s hatred against Catalans was nuclear. Many got killed, most of them oppressed and imprisoned. Fear, anxiety, how the fuck can you live like this?

Luckily after nearly 4 decades of terror that idiot died and with him his powers. Catalonia regained its culture, language, institutions, a regional independence and so on. For several decades they have tried to unglue themselves from this Spaniffication.

As you can see there was a lot of trauma when it comes to the people living in Catalonia.

So maybe this is the reason why some people in Catalonia are so desperate to hold onto their language and culture, and as a result marginalize the outsiders?

Another example of stage 2-3 Culture Cancer is that of the occupation of West Bank by Israel. They have literally caged in a group of people, like you would do with livestock for consumption.

On top of that some people from the Israeli tribe are forcefully taking the land from the West Bank residents, beating, mocking them, even murdering them.

An example:

One of the Israeli settlers “hoarding” a Palestinian woman, mocking her as if she is a cattle. And filming all at the same time. Did I mention that he is holding a riffle?

In the video you can see him making the same noises that the Palestinians make to hoard their animals. The Israeli leaders tolerate and even encourage this behavior.I recommend these two documentaries to see the insane cancerous situation between Israel and the West Bank:

No Other Land - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…
Louis Theroux: The Settlers - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…

These are examples of a stage 2-3 Culture Cancer. It has spread significantly and it is hard to tackle. Thus it has a great influence over a population of people who can turn violent against each other.

EVERY TEN MINUTES | Saving the Aquatic Warbler

Once widespread across Europe, this tiny migratory bird has suffered a dramatic decline as its wetland habitats disappear. But across Lithuania, conservationists are fighting back — restoring wetlands, managing the landscape, and giving this endangered species a chance to survive.

This is the story of one of Europe’s most threatened songbirds — and the people working to save it.

I consider what is happening in Catalonia as an example of stage 0 Culture Cancer. Post cancerous. Localized, mostly treatable.

The Catalans are quite angry at the “outsiders” who do not put in the effort to learn Catalan, or care about the Catalan culture and community. They try to forcefully speak Catalan regardless if the others understand or not, and refuse to speak Spanish at times. They marginalize the outsiders and create a tense situation.

And the “outsiders” hate the Catalans and their “tribalistic” and rude attitudes. Or simply do not give a fuck about Catalonia in general, and whatever is happening there, making the locals even angrier at them.

The mix is anger, discomfort, separation, marginalization. From both sides.

However, this cannot be too much of a generalization. This is mostly happening in smaller villages from my knowledge, or very touristic regions.

Most people in Catalonia seem to be nice and decent people overall. Most will speak Spanish if you only know Spanish. My doctor even speaks English just to make it easier for me, even if is a bit harder for her. Granted she is not even from Catalonia. But she tries to speak Spanish, Catalan, and English.

However you do feel a tension between the Catalans and the rest.

You just feel it…
