@nyx @azureazure meh i think there's less nazis here than in the US
the worst parts about living here are
1) corruption
2) generally being poorer than the first world
3) russia existing close to you

@emilia-miki @azureazure yeah I guess that perception probably has a lot to do with westoids being like "everyone that isn't us is le bad and nazis/totalitarians/islamic fundamentalists, unlike the west which is the BASTION of PROGRESSIVISM and FREEDOM" when from the sound of it in Europe for instance some of the worst far right organizing is happening in the west. not to mention all the Israel support

also tbh #1 is a thing here too, we just call it "lobbying" instead and then it's totally fine and a different thing trust me the media which is also definitely not a propaganda apparatus said so

@azureazure @emilia-miki @nyx also local businesses are expected to bribe police and get special stickers to put on their cars and windows for special treatment

@destroy @azureazure @nyx wow, never heard of that

@nyx @emilia-miki @azureazure Yeah you get stickers if you donate to the policeman’s association. If you don’t have those stickers or if your local patrol officers know they can’t get free stuff at your store they get awfully slow at responding to robberies.

@nyx @destroy @azureazure @emilia-miki Yeah... I know a bunch of Americans including business owners and it's basically nonsense. Sure the police will be corrupt in some places but acting like it's a super common thing just doesn't stand up.

In comparison though, my Eastern European friends at university did say that helping police was expected (like helping them move homeless people on) if you didn't want to have suspicion on you and that bribing police was common place. In fact the Romanian guy literally said he came on the course so he could get a good salary and bribe the police.

@azureazure @arcana @emilia-miki @nyx Yeah lets listen to the Angloid instead of someone who has been repeatedly told to give uniformed officers free product at places I’ve worked at, so the cops would actually come when we have to call them.

@destroy @azureazure @emilia-miki @nyx So close, I actually own a business in the US and know many others who do as well. Maybe you just live in a shithole?

@emilia-miki @azureazure @arcana @nyx it was like this when I lived in Idaho, too. The sheriff drove confiscated sports cars as personal vehicles and my stepdad got fired for arresting the son of a one of the town aristocrats after he got into a bar fight.

1
Arcana
@destroy @emilia-miki @azureazure @nyx Police confiscate cars all over the world as personal vehicles, it's not unique there. Also yeah, some places will be corrupt, very much so, but again, this occurs all over the world.

That said, I do think arresting somebody for a bar fight is very silly. Mutual combat sure be a right.

@sun @destroy @azureazure @emilia-miki @nyx Eh, it's a bar, it's par for the course really. The bar should have bouncers to deal with such things. Not a police matter.

@emilia-miki @arcana @azureazure @nyx @sun and yet it was only an issue when he arrested the gentry

1
Arcana
@destroy @emilia-miki @azureazure @nyx @sun I mean yes, this occurs all over the world, elites are elites for a reason, it's how society works. Though it's not just the elites, they also give special treatment to family members too. You think that police who arrest people in places like North Korea or Iran also don't give preferential treatment to elites? It's a universal thing since the dawn of time.

@azureazure @arcana @nyx @sun @emilia-miki so… I was right? Your problem is that I’m complaining about something that happens?

1
Arcana
@destroy @azureazure @nyx @sun @emilia-miki You claimed as if it was happening all over the US constantly, from people I've known, anecdotes yes, but this is what you provide as well, it's FAR more common in the likes of Romania and other eastern European countries.
1
Arcana
@destroy @azureazure @emilia-miki @nyx @sun Also I think it's funny you see having to make some tiny donation and get a sticker is some grand corruption, law enforcement not being privatized is a very modern concept mostly popularized by English Victorians.
