Briefly: The 70s, The Dance, The Life








People now, dance to forget life.  People back then, danced, to Celebrate Life.

An incessant 'boom! boom! boom!' never brought a smile to anyone's face, or opened one's heart to any other.

    Dance is a reflection of values, a way of expressing the feelings of a society and an important part of entertainment. The pure enjoyment of dance brought smile and enjoyment to people back then as compared to now, the head shaking dance seems to be a sign of escapism from unpleasant realities...

The Evils

It's pretty bally pointless philosophising, or reasoning, or moralising with people at present, especially those in east asia and the White northern hemisphere and those within their Mephistophelean influential auspices. To do so would require people to have, intact, their natural born instinct for the value of their lives and at the very least, their closest and dearest.  But when even that is absent, to moralise with them requires one to espouse the significance of the value of life itself!  Even animals don't require that for goodness sakes. It's fruitless to begin with proselytising on the value of life itself,  because to have to teach someone about the value of their own lives, and the lives of their closest, means they already don't value it, and that can only be if they have completely lost their humanity and a significant part of their sentience itself, which places them lower than animal and plant life.  They are already diminished in humanit...

The Critique of White People is a boon to White People

Image
...because,  1. It impresses upon non-white people that whites do not know it all and that their own cultures can contribute and produce ideas that did not, and will not, be produced by them.  2. Such ideas will free white people from the tyranny of the particular kind of ignorance in perspectives and engendered by their unique history as they will be able to them access ideas and perspectives from other cultures.  3. Such access will disable their own white elite from capitalising on such ignorance which such elite may actually have produced, thrived on, and which thus gives them every reason to perpetuate.  Every culture that has an evil and exploitative elite will logically have cultural practices and perspectives that allows such an evil elite to exist in the first place.   Differences in historical experiences will give rise to different ways of putting up with it, supporting it, and contending with it.  It is from attentio...

It's Chinglish, not Singlish.

Ever wonder how 'singlish' sounds so much like the way a chinese child speaks - like that child on the left?  Not like a malay child, not like an indian child.  The next time you speak 'singlish', just ask yourself how different it is from that little boy on the left. That indicates that 'singlish' is not actually 'singlish', but 'chinglish'.  And this further indicates that the formation of this so-called colloquial and unofficial ‘national’ language indicates that non-chinese differences were not considered in its formation, which, incidentally, parallels the chinese-determined criteria of what alright and not alright in all other arenas.   No wonder that the msn.com site for singapore is called ‘xin.msn.com’.  If it is representative of anything, it is only of post-80s chinese self-absorption.  Same goes for the ‘wit‘ which is typical of the wit in Chinese media and conversations.  Childish, and has no resemblance with the higher level...
