I was just talking to a fellow member of this forum about the conditions of refugees in Europe. It breaks my heart that people all of the world are treated sooooooo differently just based on where they were born.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH US?! HOW DID WE GET HERE? HOW DID WE BECOME LIKE THIS?
We are all humans and we are all equal. Nothing makes me better or worse than another person based just on where I they were born, what is their skin color, what religion they believe in, etc... This is all just bullshit.
Why do we even have different Governments?
Don't get the wrong idea, I am not suggesting chaos. I know that there is a reason for governments to exist. You need justice, for instance. There has to be authority out there- represented and elected by all the people- where you can defend your rights.
But why cant we just have a World Government, where everybody has EQUAL rights? And no one has more rights based on arbitrary things like race?
This is exactly like America. They had racism on the constitutional level. But once you remove that, once constitutionally there is no difference between black and white, a black person can become president.
Now dont get the wrong idea, I am not a huge fan of Obama. Nor do I believe there are no racist people in America, of course there are.
But once you remove racism on the constitutional level- meaning all humans are EQUAL- then it becomes A LOT harder to be a racist.
You can still be a racist in your heart. You can even talk about it or act upon it. But once it is ILLEGAL to discriminate based on race, you can called for it and judged.
That is how it should be all over the world.
This idea of governments with different "national interests" is BULL SHIT. We need to stop differentiating ourselves from others and accept that we are all equal.
Yes you may have different ideas as to how we should tackle certain problems- like how we should improve the economy, how we should tackle global warming, etc...- but all that is secondary. We could have different people competing in different ways to solve the same problems, that is fine. It is a free market. But there are certain "rights" that are UNIVERSAL and should be upheld universally. Such as the right to live wherever you want, do whatever job you like, express your fucking opinion, and practice your fucking religion no matter what is- so long as you don't try to force your religion onto others. These are UNIVERSAL rights that everybody should have. And nobody should be allowed to do anything to prevent you from having them.
I was just eating dinner at a cafeteria and the guy who served- probably Indian- was staring at me in a weird way. I think he was just envious of me because I could afford such a meal- which wasn't that expensive for me, but for him it probably was a lot. I could be wrong of course about his stares, but still, I am in fucking UAE and Indians are treated like slaves. So yeah, he gets to be jealous of a fellow Saudi.
And that is the thing, it is not that he isn't a hard worker. I am sure he probably works harder than I ever did. It is just that he's fuckin Indian and I am a fuckin Saudi and so I have "privileges" that he doesn't- better job opportunities, better salaries for the same jobs, etc... and so I get to enjoy a delicious meal and he doesn't.
This is all bull shit.
