controlled opposition
I wish more people understood this.
If a publication is neither censored nor being consistently attacked by the law and/or politics, they are in on the grift. No real "thorn in their side" would be allowed to make millions and freely travel the world.

Conservatism is designed to be a losing ideology.
An example:
Liberal: "We are currently at 0. I want 100!"
Conservative: "I want to stay at 0."
Liberal: "Let's be reasonable and meet in the middle. 50?"
Conservative: "Alright. 50. Look how levelheaded I am."
A week passes.
Liberal: "Okay, I don't like 50 anymore. Now I want 150!"
Conservative: "How dare you? I will defend 50 until the day I die."
Liberal: "Let's be reasonable..."
Rinse and repeat.
I'll cut her some slack, because she was only 22. Her brain was constantly getting scrambled by the media and peer pressure. I remember being a flaming leftists when I was her age. It took life experience and maturity to lead me to the right path. Something she will never have.
One thing I learned during 20 years of marriage is that women have no idea what they really want. There will be random, nonsensical demands with barely any connection to reality.
Also, everything "extra" you do will immediately become the new status quo. Women are designed to constantly push boundaries and demand more more more. It's your job as a man to manage and temper those impulses.
It's so fascinating how we always end up at the same point when we bother to do some research, isn't it?
It must take a ridiculous amount of energy to be slapped in the face with this all the time and still deny it vehemently.
The biggest problem I had when I worked in Asia (S-Korea and Japan) was the absolute deference to authority. I am a law-abiding citizen, but my work often forces me to confront local police or the DA office (security related). There are many steps I can take in escalating order and I usually manage to get a fair conclusion.
In Asia this is different. People immediately assume you are in the wrong, the moment any figure of authority tells them to. Doesn't matter how outlandish or unreasonable their claims are. You are "rocking the boat" and therefore you need to change or yield. Personally I find this unbearable, but it seems to work for them.
Adding to your point about being a foreigner, I have to say that this wasn't much of a problem. It comes with additional responsibilities, but also with quite a bit of leniency. People in those countries aren't dumb. They understand that you grew up under different circumstances and that you need time to adjust or probably never manage to 100% emulate their lifestyle. Outright discrimination was somewhat rare, though I can only speak as someone who is as visually European as you can get. Maybe they treat other ethnicities more harshly.
In summary, those countries are beautiful, clean and safe. Absolutely worth a visit or a short stay. BUT you will hate living there, if you have any inkling of being a distinct person with certain rights. You are either a happy little cog or you will be miserable.
I'm not really bothered by this. If they try to force ads on me, I will simply stop watching YouTube. Only effect it will have on me is more free time.
Same when my Reddit account got "permanently suspended". Helped me to break bad habits. Thanks Reddit admin faggots!
It's completely ridiculous. I live in a medium sized European city. During an average month (being socially active, shopping for groceries, going to work), you maybe see a handful of Africans around. Even that is a stretch.
You know who the city administration (100% White) chose to represent our local "Festival of culture and history"? Some random black chick. I don't even know where they found her. She has zero relevance to our culture OR history.
I checked a walkthrough of it on YouTube. Mainly out of morbid curiosity.
90% of all named NPC and 100% of all the good, smart or interesting people were either brown/black/asian or girlbosses. Only white males I saw were a pirate (who died like a bitch in a matter of seconds), some random ugly fat guy who only existed to be annoying and the Adoring Fan meme dude.
No interest.
I fucking hate how the modding scene is at such a point that Lovers Lab is the least retarded place to upload
It's just like every other gaming space that didn't have gatekeeping: overrun by tranny mods and soyboys. Every kind of degeneracy is fine, but the moment you make something that doesn't fit their moronic worldview, they throw a fit like children.
I can smell the buggy mess on release and the "funny" compilations on YouTube from here.
Why not just wait a couple of years and buy the bug-fixed version with all DLC for 80-90% off? There will be hundreds of high-quality mods and you can just work through your backlog until then.
To answer your title: A lot.
There is a reason why we choose the word "attractive" to describe physically appealing people. It attracts us. That this basic truth has somehow become demonized and twisted is honestly discouraging to see.
I despise people who react with variants of "go touch grass" or "just masturbate to porn" when someone wants beautiful people in a video game. No one masturbates to cleavage. It's just pleasant to look at.
I worked this out within 1 minute of the video and scanning comments, this is a classic case of, everybody else was doing the real work, so they got the diversity hires to do the video and it backfired.
I believe there is a decent chance that some real developers on the team are fed up with taking the blame for these incompetent morons and just set them up with this video.
Can't imagine how shit it must feel to do your work diligently and then see these trashbags get the same money just because they tick some made up HR boxes.
I.e. grifters, opportunists and controlled opposition.
