       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:
  HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/charge-unsavoury-row-over-forced-231629557.html
       [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
       and if we do not tip the stewardess after a good flight or a
       nurse who treated us well during a hospital stay, then why must
       we tip a waiter?[/quote]
       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.[/quote]
       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.”[/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.

       This is what you get when you put a West-worshipper in charge.

  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][/quote]

       Westerners persecute a good teacher:
  HTML https://us.yahoo.com/news/texas-teacher-faces-termination-video-173024320.html
       [quote]A Texas schoolteacher is facing termination after a viral
       video was posted online showing her telling students to call
       pedophiles "minor-attracted persons." But students have come to
       her defense.
       In a unanimous vote on Tuesday by the El Paso ISD school board,
       Amber Parker, a former English teacher at Franklin High School,
       was terminated after an 18-second video was posted online in
       August, KFOXT14 reported.
       "Stop calling them that. You're not allowed to label people 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."
       ...
       Last year, Allyn Walker, an assistant professor at Old Dominion
       University, resigned after they received backlash on their
       research on minor-attracted people in a book titled "A Long,
       Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of
       Dignity," NBC reports.
       In an interview with the Protasia Foundation, Walker defended
       their research by saying that they use the term "minor-attracted
       person" because of the negative stigma associated with the
       phrase "****."[/quote]
       Such stigma is Western:

       [quote]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]
