Interestingly, I saw a few social media posts praising the high-trust in China, or Korea (of all places) and pointing out that theft is relatively rare. Lots of leftists rambling on and on in the comments about the culture in comparison to the West. Didn't feel worth the effort to point out that China is 99.99% Chinese, and Korea is 99.99% Korean.

Look at sociologist Robert Putnam’s groundbreaking book Bowling Alone.

Immigration and multiculturalism ruins societal trust and cohesion.

If China is more “safe” than the US, at least part of the explanation is that they didn’t fling their doors wide open to immigration from dysfunctional countries.

There was a really damning study by researchers at the university of Copenhagen on diversity's impact on social trust.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/335924797_Ethnic_Diversity_and_Social_Trust_A_Narrative_and_Meta-Analytical_Review

In summary, the meta-analysis has generated several insights speaking to various aspects of the debates in
the literature presented earlier. First, as a baseline result, across all studies, we observe a statistically
significant negative relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust of moderate size. On average, social
trust is thus lower in more ethnically diverse contexts. That being said, the rather modest size of the
relationship also implies that apocalyptic claims regarding the severe threat of ethnic diversity for social trust
in contemporary societies are exaggerated

One of the big takeaways from reading it was that people in multicultural societies trust their neighbors less, feel less safe in general and are less happy as a result. The native people are less happy and migrants are less happy. No one wins.

Holding onto perspective is usually quite helpful:

From an energy topic about the mess Germany has found itself in and how some sides seem to be arguing for (demanding) a perfect solution. (i.e. anything short of solar/wind will take too long, cost too much, not be perfect etc etc.. in a discussion about NOT CLOSING down perfectly good nuke plants early and thus adding like ~30% more to their gas needs in the middle of an emergency gas/energy shortage.. With OC your usual mix of people who have no fiucking clue how things work, arguing that solar/wind has "already" replaced the need for nuclear.. Without ever realizing that no, coal and gas is what has replaced nuclear 90% of the time.)

Are modern europeans always this.. colorful with each other?

Speaks the truth though.

Japan and Korea are fair points but China isn't a high trust society. It just seems like it is because anyone who steps out of line mysteriously disappears in the middle of the night like all totalitarian regimes.

A personal lolcow of mine is such a specimen. Honestly he has enough of a public profile he'd be thread-worthy for the farms but I'll let someone else deal with that. He ruined a serious meeting by sending out a list of his acceptable foods as part of the preparation planning, and specifying "nothing ethnic, not even bagels."

Reminded me of the old YTMND meme. NEDM. If you remember what that is without google you have been around for a while.

"Found this rum in the attic of the house I just bought. It’s full of sediment, and smells like straight ammonia. Is this normal for a multi-year fermentation of alcohol that went bad, or was this a piss bottle that aged?"

What are the chances that he actually just "found" this piss bottle inside of the attic of a house that he just bought instead of this and just mistakenly thought it was aged rum instead of just being another deviant Redditor with a bizarre, disgusting fetish?

Liquor doesn't continue to ferment after its been distilled. That's piss.

It's piss for sure. But did the Redditor really just stumble upon a piss jug that he naively mistook for aged rum that the previous owners just forgot to throw away or is just being another Reddit weirdo who filled this up himself for a fetish or attention or whatever strange reason?

maybe the previous tenant died and took the secret of the hidden piss bottles to the grave with him, so nobody found them until this redditor stumbled upon them one day

The only people who think China is a high-trust society are tankies.

The harmonious society where a driver will run over a guy again to make sure he's dead since paying a death settlement to the family is cheaper than paying medical bills.

I think in islamic socities that is doable as long as the other party agrees.

Imagine having a teenage daughter in a 100% pajeet neighborhood. She'd be inundated with bob and vagene requests every time she leaves the house. That, or she'll be gang raped.

Can't wait for the subsequent vagueposts detailing her sexual assault while dancing around identifying the perpetrators so she isn't accused of racism.

What percentage of "as a woman" posters on Reddit are actually women instead of mentally disturbed men who call themselves "women" because they wear a dress?

We need to bring back "tits or gtfo." If you get back a picture of HRT-filled tube tits you can safely discard it as the opinion of a mentally unwell man.

So, today I was bored and spent a couple hours playing a low effort agar.io clone I saw advertised on the main agar.io website. What interested me is that the player characters in this game are given the unfortunate name of "diggers."

Upon starting the game you are prompted to give your "digger" a nickname. Now, you don't have to be a genius to figure out what happens next. Reddit is, predictably, very up in arms about this and demand the dev to add a name censor.

Spoiler: Autistic sperging

They censor "cotton" but not "nigger".
Which is why I try to speedrun being banned from subreddits.

Funny you should point that out, I was about to post that apparently the moderator they're talking to is underage despite moderating a sub where people have tags like, you know, "cum slut anal lover"

American politics live rent free in the minds of way too many of my fellow Canadians. This was in the r/halifax sub.

Let’s attack this dude because he called us out as losers.
