A Look at Bhutan: An Isolated South Asian Nation Focused on Happiness, but Has Ethnic Conflict like Other Places

 Hi anyone! I've been held back again from being on here. As anyone who's been here may know I love exploring secluded areas of the world, especially if there's something unique about them.

And so, we come to Bhutan which is a landlocked country, high in the Himalayas, and is the last Bhuddist kingdom in the world. It is between Tibet and India, with a population of roughly 750, 000. The official language is a Sino-Tibetan one called Dzongkha. This country is also steeped deep in their traditions and customs. There are several documentaries on these people, but most of them are not very good, usually just following a few families. I just posted a few of them here to take a glance at. The older people they show that do subsistence farming, it may seem like they have it hard, but is it really that bad?

Seems like they are old but still alive. They live in beautiful surroundings. The ones with functional families have significant others, kids, and so forth. All of the stuff humans generally want to have to live happily socially. They have their own customs, ethics, and so forth. They don't live alone in some crap-hole in  a big city doing a minimum wage job, dealing with the worst of the worst, eating highly deep-fried, oversaturated with fat, high sugar and salt containing foods right?  

Are they really that badly off?



Another documentary:



With their "invention" of the national happiness index, and commitment to Buddhism do you think they all live at peace with each other? No, not based on what I can tell. There have been many stories and documentaries of the ethnic cleansing of ethnic Nepali people. There was one about Nepali refugees coming to America, and one of the greeters at the airport was a Black man who said something like "No, English?" "Go back home".

My point is that ultimately, human nature shows itself again. People are tribal, at heart, and this has significant social implications.

But maybe we can learn something from the people of Bhutan. Maybe we should seek to also live in less congested, less urban, more secluded, more peaceful, and homogenous environments, with our own traditions. When you think of what they have maybe the Bhutanese don't have it so bad?

What happens on America's Subways - Wild Assaults and Murders - Typically Featuring one Demographic

Image
 There are so many, and I mean so many news stories and videos online of assaults, and murders on the subway systems particularly New York. What is one of the common denominators? Well people can point to lots of things like poverty, mental illness, and so forth, but to me it seems like it is Black people.  An old video but still relevant nonetheless. A woman riding the training only to be almost murdered by beating without provocation by a Wakandan prince: The craziness continues: The stabbings: I could go on all day.  How people can enjoy living in a place like that, without having their own private transportation is beyond me. Isn't New York one of the most expensive cities in the world too? Slave your whole life away just to be killed by violent crime...

Private elite schools teach "wokeness" to kindergarten children

Image
 Ridiculous and unbelievable, rich people are now paying tens of thousands of dollars to send their kids to indoctrination centers where they are taught that all Whites are racist, and everything in their society like math and science is "racist". It's all just so demented.  https://nypost.com/2021/12/19/private-preschools-teaching-the-future-elite-to-be-racist/ Private preschools are teaching the future elite to be racist Wokeness has come to New York City elite private schools. It has infested everything, from social interactions to math. A few weeks ago, teachers at Manhattan’s Brick Church School read “Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race” to several classes. In its lessons on racism, all the racists are, of course, white. One typical line: “A long time ago, way before you were born, a group of white people made up an idea called race.” The idea that people didn’t notice each other’s skin color or features until white people made them is, of course, absurd. “Our ...
