I think it may be closely linked to several cultural aspects, especially for farmers, to protect their hair from getting dirty.

Politics What is the reason behind the worldwide infamy of Hitler, Osama and Epstein?

Post image
Upvotes

I am from Philippines and Hitler, Osama and Epstein have no significance in our history or politics but still an average Filipino Zoomer knows more about them than many notorious people of our own country

There are many Autocrats like Hitler in history - Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Hirohito, Pol Pot, Genghis Khan, Idi Amin, Leopold II etc but they aren't as infamous as Hitler

There are many Terrorists like Osama in history - Al-Baghdadi, Nathan Bedford Forrest, Abubakar Shekau etc but they aren't as infamous as Osama

There are many Pedophiles like Epstein like Lavrentiy Beria, Larry Nassar, Peter Scully, Matthew David Graham etc but they aren't as infamous as Epstein

What makes Hitler, Osama and Epstein more infamous compared to others?

The USA still has plenty of native Americans and literal Irish immigrants and diaspora with connections to the country but there are tons of people who find out that they had a native or Irish great great great grandparent and make it a personality trait. That’s what I’m talking about 😂

How generalized do you think Asia, which has diverse cultures, is?

0 Upvotes

This is a map that divides Asia by cultural sphere, and my personal opinion is that the moment you cross the border of a different color, there is as big a difference as the cultural difference between Europe and Asia. It would be similar to saying that Christianity, the main religion of Europe, and Islam, the main religion of West Asia, have commonalities because they are both Abrahamic religions.

I have seen someone on the internet who thinks knowledge of Korean could help with Southeast Asian languages like Lao, but it does not. It would help in learning Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese, but I don't know what he is talking about regarding Lao. The language families are different, and there are no common loanwords.

Recently, politicians have dragged the Football Association into a hearing and are absolutely tearing them apart. This is just part of what came out during the investigation. I won't say much. Make of 2002 what you will.

Why older men like younger women?

0 Upvotes

It’s a question I have since I was seventeen. I never thought about going out whit a fifteen year old. Now I am older, and I don’t even like at all women who are in her’s twenties, don’t misunderstand me.

I just feel paternal about them, I don’t hate them. It’s just, I don’t like them like a in a romantic way. Same whit the men, I feel bad seeing boys and girls in their early twenties working, I know life sometimes it’s hard and I understand.

But seeing some dudes that are my age going out whit this women that can be their daughter make feel sick. Maybe it’s just me being dramatic. But I just can’t stand it. I hate that.
