Thank on your knees to fate that you weren’t born in Egypt
There’s no worse cesspit on earth that isn’t a warzone
Even India is more civilised and even nice folks in comparison
Friend of my friend once said that staying there she will either kill herself, get r**** or join hamas and she eventually joined hamas so yeah
My friend is from Egypt and he says the same but I have no idea what exactly is there that is so bad. Can I elaborate.
I've been to Egypt several times, and sometimes I've stayed with people who have moved there.
The impression I get is that there very few ways for people born there to raise themselves up above what I call "The Hustle". There's a state of being where the key to survival is extracting money out of everyone you meet. By fair means or foul, you must make money.
It can be making sure every person that walks into your shop buys something. It can be being a kerb crawling tuk tuk driver pestering walkers by. It can be thieving. It can be taking bribes in local government. Everybody is on the hustle. You can't afford to trust people because they'll take any advantage they can. It's a permanent state of stress and fear.
...and then there are the immigrant whales that move there, buy a big house on the coast and exploit the locals by flashing the cash.
All of that said, when people do manage to find something stable, they're a great people, but there are so few decent ways to make enough money.
Mentality is just merciless and cruel. Years of generational human abuse. Abused become abusers. Corruption, nepotism, patriarchy. On Egypt Facebook your feed is full of videos of animal abuse and laughing smileys in comments. It’s a dark place
Am I allowed to complain since I live in the USA ?
Do what I do. Grit your teeth and avoid the headlines. Check in daily but don't get sucked in. Check the uplifting news to feel better.
No. You and your fellow citizens voted for this.
I voted Harris so no I didnt vote for this.
Then you are, of course, allowed to complain.
no, not all of us did. it just so happens that morons yell the loudest
Either people voted against him, for him, or abstained from voting (implicitly agreeing with whatever decision the majority made).
The last two groups there, vastly outweighed the first one in this election.
You're right, not everyone wanted this.... But that's how democracy is. You vote and, at least in theory, the person that the most people vote for (believe in/agree with), is then made president.
By definition, democracy will always have people who didn't vote for the current government.
All I'm saying is that either by action (voting for Trump) or inaction (not voting), a majority decided that he should become president.
Right but you didn't say that. You said "you voted for this", as if Americans are some monolithic bloc with equal responsibility for the current state of affairs. If you tell me that I, an American, deserve the current administration because I voted for it, you are just completely, literally wrong. I, and 75 million other people, voted for Harris.
It's good to put your own problems into perspective sometimes.
If enough locals had their way, we would return to an independent republic
Nothing like the entitled Americans complaining while talking on their $1000 iPhones and their designer jeans about living in America. Having a President like Trump must make things so hard for you.
