I would add too in regards to the marriage question, learning to
love someone that you were not initially attracted to can be a
romantic undertaking as the only way to find something
attractive about the arranged spouse would be for the other
person to learn absolutely everything about them. This might
lead two partners into knowing more about each other than any
modern day Western couple could ever hope to express about their
romantic partner? I think the only way an arranged marriage
between two noble persons could turn into a disaster is if both
decide to dig in their heels and resist the arrangement purely
on the grounds that it was an arranged match in the first place?
I think as modern people living in the West we are also biased
because the first thing most Westerners think about when it
comes to romantic relationships is physical attraction and
sexual intercourse. This is how we have been trained. Having
said this, if I'm not mistaken I do not believe Savitri Devi
ever had sexual intercourse with her spouse? Which leads me to
think that in an arranged marriage where two noble partners are
not sexually attracted to each other, if sex is a must have for
one of the people, or both, in the marriage they could seek it
else where as long as they were honest and upfront about their
intentions and reasoning with the other person in the arranged
marriage? Perhaps this is why King's often have mistresses and
only had sex with the Queen in order to create an heir for the
throne?
The only reason for an arranged marriage between to noble people
is to ensure the continuation of noble bloodlines, is it not?

"learning to love someone that you were not initially attracted
to can be a romantic undertaking as the only way to find
something attractive about the arranged spouse would be for the
other person to learn absolutely everything about them. "
This seems to be a form of adulteration. It reminds me of being
forced to learn to play a musical instrument (that I had no
interest in) by adults claiming I will learn to like it after I
know it inside out. (In reality, it has only caused me to hate
Western classical music.)
Romanticism celebrates love at first sight. This can occur
within the setting of arranged meetings, just as it can occur
when people meet each other by genuine coincidence (e.g.
neighbours, colleagues, etc.). Where it cannot occur is when
either person is trying to look for someone.
"I think the only way an arranged marriage between two noble
persons could turn into a disaster is if both decide to dig in
their heels and resist the arrangement purely on the grounds
that it was an arranged match in the first place?"
Again, arranged does not mean compulsory. It simply means it can
happen without either of the subjects taking any initiative:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/social-decolonization/msg12571/#msg12571
"the first thing most Westerners think about when it comes to
romantic relationships is physical attraction and sexual
intercourse."
The main problem is failure on the part of inferior people to
distinguish genuine romantic love from mere lust. If you see
someone and want to have sex with them, it is lust. If you see
someone and want to prevent other people from having sex with
them, it could be romantic love. There is a simple way to test
what it really going on. You are given two choices:
a) You can have sex with that person, but so can others.
b) You can't have sex with that person, but neither can anyone
else.
Genuine romantic love will lead you to choose b) without
hesitation.
"in an arranged marriage where two noble partners are not
sexually attracted to each other, if sex is a must have for one
of the people, or both, in the marriage they could seek it else
where as long as they were honest and upfront about their
intentions and reasoning with the other person in the arranged
marriage?"
And as long as they admit they do not love each other. Because
if they did, they would rather not have sex with others than
hurt their spouse by doing so. Then, since they do not love each
other, why marry each other? They should turn down the arranged
marriage! Again, arranged does not mean compulsory.

I never understood tipping:

--- Quote ---
> The tipping culture, he says, came to India from the West.
Just as in 1960s America, employers could pay workers below
minimum wages if they earned tips, in 1950s and 60s India - just
years into the country's independence - "many standalone
restaurants in Delhi's Connaught Place or Kolkata's Park Street
or Mumbai's Churchgate Street did not pay their waiters salaries
at all and expected them to get by with tips".
> ...
> Mr Sanghvi has, for years, argued that tips should be totally
abolished because:
>
> it's intrinsically unfair toward waiters alone when many
others contribute to the success of the meal
>
> it tyrannises guests who are never sure how much of a tip to
leave

nurse who treated us well during a hospital stay, then why must
we tip a waiter?

Background:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratuity#Etymology_and_history
--- Quote ---
> The practice of tipping began in Tudor England.[14] In
medieval times, tipping was a master-serf custom wherein a
servant would receive extra money for having performed superbly
well.[15] By the 17th century, it was expected that overnight
guests to private homes would provide sums of money, known as
vails, to the host's servants. Soon afterwards, customers began
tipping in London coffeehouses and other commercial
establishments".[14]
> ...
> Some have criticized the inherent "social awkwardness" in
transactions that involve tipping, the inconsistency of tipping
for some services but not similar ones, and the irrationality of
basing tips on price, rather than the amount and quality of
service (a customer pays a larger tip to a server bringing a
lobster rather than a hamburger, for example).[129]
> ...
> Tipping might be discomforting to some people because it adds
the necessity of figuring out the tip amount each time, which is
made harder by the fact that the tip amount the service provider
is hoping to receive, is in general unknown to the customer. As
lack of, or too low, tip might offend the service provider this
adds the discomfort of fear of creating an unpleasant social
encounter to each service purchase transaction the customer
suspects might involve the expectation of tipping.

Trivia:
--- Quote ---
> Lynn's research also found that "blondes get better tips than
brunettes. Slender women get better tips than heavier women.
Large breasted women get better tips than smaller breasted
women.”
--- End Quote ---
The second one is actually justified (as less energy wasted =
better service), but I would be more than willing to sacrifice
it to get rid of the Eurocentrism and high sexual dimorphism
favouritism.

It's crazy how people can laugh at these situations and not come
to the conclusion that the idea of gendered clothing itself is
pointless and flawed. No one has ever laughed at a man for
wearing unisex clothing, because if they did there would be
nothing worth joking about in the first place. But we regularly
get videos like these where men will wear the clothing of their
daughters for an attempt at humor.

round:

Anti-homopohobia is a Counterculture attitude! The
Counterculture was an anti-Western movement! It is therefore
homophobia which is Western! And above all, homophobia never
existed in ancient China!
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_China
--- Quote ---
> Homosexuality and homoeroticism in China have been documented
since ancient times. According to certain studies by Dr. Bret
Hinsch, now associated with Fo Guang University in Taiwan,
reviewed in a journal published by the University of London,[2]
homosexuality was regarded as a normal facet of life in China,
prior to Western influence from 1840 onwards.[3] Several early
Chinese emperors are speculated to have had homosexual
relationships accompanied by heterosexual ones.[4] Opposition to
homosexuality, according to these same studies, did not become
firmly established in China until the 19th and 20th centuries,
through the Westernization efforts of the late Qing dynasty and
the early Chinese Republic.[5]

Westerners persecute a good teacher:

School, was terminated after an 18-second video was posted
online in August, KFOXT14 reported.

like that. Stop it, Diego," the teacher can be heard saying in
the video. "We are not going to call them that. We're going to
call them MAPs. Minor Attracted Persons. So don't judge people
just because they want to have sex with a 5-year-old."

> The image of the shōjo (young girl) became dominant in
Japanese mass media by the 1970s as an idealization of cuteness,
innocence, and an "idealized Eros", attributes which became
attached to imagery of younger girls over time.[29] ****
photographs of shōjo, conceived as fine art, gained
popularity: a photo collection entitled Nymphet: The Myth of the
12-Year-Old [ja] was published in 1969, and in 1972 and 1973
there was an "Alice boom" in **** photos themed around Alice in
Wonderland.[30]
> ...
> Iconic characters of the boom include Clarisse from the film
Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro (1979) and Lana from the TV
series Future Boy Conan (1978), both directed by Hayao
Miyazaki.[56] Clarisse was especially popular, and inspired a
series of articles discussing her appeal in the anime specialty
magazines Gekkan Out [ja], Animec [ja], and Animage,[57] as well
as a trend of fan works (dubbed "Clarisse magazines"[18]) that
were not explicitly sexual, but instead "fairytale-esque" and
"girly".[43]
