Between 1976 and 2008 I spent a fair amount of time in Singapore on business. I mostly worked with the universities and polytechnics as well as the semiconductor industry there. It’s easily my favorite foreign country. Friendly and intelligent people, easy to get around, safe, good food, etc. Would I want to live there? No.

I don’t understand the problem. She likes Singapore. Lucky her.

No skin off anyone else’s nose.

Besides Old Money, the fact that she is Asian really helps her to fit in with the main demographic. Sort of like being a Black person extolling the virtues of living in Atlanta Georgia. She is less conspicuous as a foreigner.

The backstory on that book… I was doing development work in Afghanistan in 2003. A woman from Singapore showed that book at a conference, and said “Here’s what Afghanistan needs to do.” She was a brilliant Christian Harvard grad, with all her education expenses paid by the government (as explained in the book). Yew was a “benevolent socialist” who did what was best for his country.

She found a place she likes best. Great.

She either inherited money or earned it.
Either case, it was hers to use as she chose.

How were the creepy crawlies there? Saw someone pushing life in rural japan, but then you saw the huts they lived in and how they had constantly invading creepie crawlies- some pretty nasty lookin- the huts were not exactly sealed off to the outdoor world

Well, I guess it’s clean.

And when you go for a walk you don’t step in gum and have to scrape it off.

Or at least, you can take comfort in knowing that the gum chewer was flogged, executed, and dumped into the sea.

But Singapore does seem sterile and lifeless.

“ the reality is the vast majority of families live in modestly-sized apartments built by the government—concentrated, high-rise housing estates that elsewhere in the world might, to some, conjure images of low-income urban blight. ”

It’s a Manhattan.

Live in huge complexes.

Safe, clean, prosperous, no drugged out bums, no graffiti beautiful sights...

Spent a lot of time there, and it is very clean and safe. There is a very controlled area in Singapore where the underbelly and all associated activities is tightly constrained. As long it happens within the boundary and doesn’t become too extreme (think murder, rape, etc), law enforcement looks the other way. After numerous two week trips there, I needed something to do, so I wanted to find out if there was an underbelly. Trust the Russians to help point the way.

I’m all for her. Have been to many countries and liked Singapore best. Immaculate, wonderful restaurants, friendly law-abiding people, great climate, interesting history. I told friends on trip I’d like to live there

“That sort of thing happens on the way to white genocide”

That is not far fetched.

I truly believe the following...

“Two groups of people whose members are easily identifiable as belonging to one or the other group AND whose group average IQ differs significantly, will never be able to peacefully coexist together.”

The reasons are quite obvious when you follow the logical consequences of that postulate.

Where self inflicted white genocide comes in is due mostly to the fact that whites have become rather soft hearted and soft headed. In their soft, compassionate heart they push the false idea that all races are the same to not make members of the lower IQ group feel bad (but deep down they actually don’t believe that lie).

To do that convincingly, Whites have to constantly artificially elevate blacks AND they have to constantly debase, flagellate and guilt themselves into slobbering pathetic fools, as we see happening everyday. All in the in-vain goal to prove their noble lie, ie, that all races on average are the same.

These acts continues until they debase themselves into extinction.

Or perhaps a miracle happens, and whites once again get a backbone, deservedly become proud men again and kick ass like they did throughout history.

Remains to be seen how things unfold, but the more time passes the more I think the former will happen - whites will be the new Neanderthals.

What do you think?

Being “conspicuous” can be a great positive. I grew up being “conspicuous”. We had a considerable social advantage thereby.

Singapore (and formerly Hong Kong) were great places for an unmarried white man with resources.
