addressing some of the "indians dying in funny ways" stuff. this is not a big sign saying "no fun allowed." you are absolutely welcome to laugh at whatever, and it's not unlikely i'm laughing with you. i'm an individualist. moreover, i believe that india's many peoples and many castes are sundered enough that a patchwork of sovereign states each the size of hong kong would better serve each of these peoples. with the fagging and hedging out of the way, onto the post proper. [nonzero] americans die each year in ways not a million miles removed from what you see in a lot of these videos with the jeets. drowning is especially a stereotype attributed to the negro, who often cannot swim in even fairly shallow water. "but those are only our dumbest!" yes, but you must understand, you measure yourself against a nation whose smartest caste of significant popilation has a median iq of 87 to the white man's 105; where the other castes have median iq's in the 70's, some in the high 60's. bramhins, the aforementioned smartest caste, make up 3% and shrinking of our population. my republic has not the demography of your own. but i digress. accidents happen. unfortunate accidents that take the lives of innocent people. sometimes, evil people take measures to make such accidents more likely, and when they are truly motivated, they may even arrange the accident altogether. this is no less true for your folk than it is for mine. the critical difference is that we in my ancient nation have nurtured and bred this our worst element, and it has infected our judiciary and law enforcement. like maggots, teeming and writhing upon and within a corpse rich with their sustenance, they tear at the goodness in the nation, subvert and destroy it every way they can. they are aided in their efforts by powers to my nation hostile, including the self-proclaimed government of the republic of india, the self-proclaimed government of the people's republic of china, and the self-proclaimed federal government of the united states of america. as a result, no check exists on those who conspire against this nation's innocence and goodness. i often fear my dear nation is forever lost to these beasts. but i digress. morbid curiosity is among the most persistent things about mammalian nature across species. even merely seeing a dead body is interesting; watching a living body parting with its anima is sure to be gripping. many of you, myself included, grew up seeing beheadings and fatal industrial mishaps in what, at the time, we called "high definition." of course, today we'd watch those same videos and wonder if they were recorded with stone-age technology. the videos i speak of scratch that itch. what's more, they are ubiquitous. you stumble across them on ecks dot com and on here, the way you'd find them in unmoderated forums and niche imageboards back in the day. morbid curiosity is amoral. it is strictly good to be curious, to observe for its own sake. it cultivates something like stoic χᾰρἆ, or what we in gujarati call saakshi-bhaav; "the temperament of the witness." morbid curiosity is amoral. you are not merely watching the video, you are reading the caption, reading the comments, analyzing the video through your own lens, that lens being honed by all manner of other posts and comments you've been reading. if every comment you see is dancing on the poor soul's grave for reason of the circumstances of his birth, the animal within you understands quite clearly that this is what is expected of it. it therefore partakes. absent all the commentary, absent all prior provocation, you would not have said something quite as harsh. perhaps you might have said nothing. but i digress. there are those who want things from you. who want you to act a certain way, a way that meets few ends of your own, but many ends of theirs. they have the time, incentive, and resources to show you just what they want you to see. a limited information window, a simulation of the tribe and a simulacrum of a consensus. with it, they can make you say things and think things and feel things. things that serve some of your purposes -- indeed, quite possibly better than the counterfactual -- but primarily serve their purposes. indeed, only the lesser parasite weakens its host. the mammalian parasite keeps it alive, even feeds it. low time preference is an incredible weapon. but i digress. ... in truth, i don't wholly remember what point i was making. it would be an act of the utmost charity to ponder my words yourself and try to make sense of them, and i thank you if this you do.
