The same way that prisons are like fast-food restaurants, a cheap “solution” to a problem that is not even understood, the educational system is similarly a failure. Not a place to educate really, but a place where teachers are workers who get a monthly salary, and the kids are being livestocked through a mix of facts and classes, with grades and groups. A precursor to becoming workers. Most students will forget most of what they’ve learned the moment they finish school.

School is also a place to leave your kid while you go to your job, every day, 5 days a week. Babysitting pretending to be something of a higher value. Unfortunately.

Since everything needs to be mass produced in our Trade-Based society, graded, sold and quantified, prisons and schools have emerged as part of the production chain of services, where humans are treated like pieces of meat that need a score. A grade, a sentence, a label.

It is not the fault of teachers or students, but of society itself.

So is a very weird mix in Catalonia, Spain, Romania or everywhere else. People migrate due to economic reasons mainly, they work for less, do not speak the local language in many cases, do not care about the local culture, they just want to make a buck. Others come in for holidaying, to consume the tribe. Some locals take advantage of them, abuse the migrants at times, make money off of tourists, then complain about them, and so forth.

They start to blame each other and in the process the visual and cultural differences are easy targets: those Mexicans stealing our jobs, those dirty Gypsies, those stupid brown people, the Romanian thieves, the arrogant British tourists!

What is clear is that if people were to have a decent life, the Catalans, the Gypsies, the Mexicans, the Romanians and the rest, then there will be a lot less people migrating and “stealing” the locals’ jobs or committing crimes, and thus less of this forced mixing of cultures. Less consumerism, and thus less tourism, less short term rentals. And if people were not to be workers for most of the year, then them holidaying could be more spread-out through the year, not creating the insane tsunami of tourists in July-August in all of Spain, and probably all over the world.

In essence, it is not the fault of the Catalans, or the immigrants, or my fault, or anyone’s fault. It is this society that transforms us into consuming working idiots who then mix and clash with each other.

But is not only poor people coming to “your tribe”, taking “your jobs” by working for less and in poorer conditions. The tourists are the other kinds who come to “your tribe”, not giving much of a shit about your culture and language, or even the environment. They come to “visit”, eat, have fun, take advantage of a tribe. Consumers, consuming, as we all are in this society. But also to take a break from their eternally-enslaved worker lives.

For example in Barcelona the locals feel a deep anger towards the tourists:

Is normal to be angry when you cannot even rent a place to live in since the rents are insanely expensive, all due to short term rentals for tourists. I know it very well. I lived for 15 years in a small coastal town 2h North of Barcelona. It is IMPOSSIBLE to rent long term here. It is all for tourists. I am not a Catalan, but I can see how such situations make us think of “us vs them” again, and play very well into the separation of people into groups, which will lead some towards nationalism, and politicians will take advantage of that.

Catalonia, like all of Spain, relies so much on tourism to make money. So weirdly enough, the industry is feeding a lot of Catalans in the process. They can hate on the tourists, but they also rely on them a lot. Same way that the Catalans take advantage of people like my father who are vulnerable, so they will pay them less and work them more. Just to make a profit.

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…
