No, the most important requirement for liberal democracy is to have abundant amount of money/resources

Ideally no. Unfortunately, corruption is rather difficult to fight against. It doesn't matter what system you develop, failure is inevitable.

You're looking at the effects of negative blanket stereotyping, duh! Which is a tad ironic, coming from you.

Overseas Singaporeans are among the most naive and insufferable people I have the displeasure of meeting.

Not sure who is being hypocritical here.

If you don't like something it might be a little bit hypocritical to go around doing it yourself, just saying.

You kind of just shot yourself in the foot.

Look, I admit I stereotyped Hong Kongers and Singaporeans as being racist towards dark skinned people, but it's not just anecdotal...

I know I am stereotyping HKers and Singaporeans for being racist towards Indians and Africans, but I maintain this stereotype and would love to be challenged regarding my stereotype. Thanks guys.

The point is there are enough money/resources for everyone so people don’t need to fight each other

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) disclosed that a joint operation by Russian, Belarusian intelligence led to the apprehension of two persons, who, according to the FSB, were plotting a military coup in Belarus via a "color revolution" scenario, in addition to physically eliminating President Alexander Lukashenko

Not a smart move IF true.

Well, a finite world has finite resources. And with poor countries getting richer, resources will be stretched thin.

China's rise is one good example of it. The rest of the world is getting richer but the already rich developed countries are getting worried now

and despite meeting hundreds of my fellow Singaporeans I only have befriended two.

Just genuinely out of curiosity and not because I want to insert a stick into anyone, is there something about Singaporeans that make you not interested in befriending them? Is it because they live too hurried lives, or maybe your primary language is different from theirs despite being Singaporean yourself? Maybe you identify more with people from Malaysia, China?

I suspect that a lot of Hong Kongers and Singaporeans (especially the ones who really emphasize any sort of Anglo heritage) desperately want to be viewed as honorary whites, but unfortunately for them, Bengals (and most other South Asians) are actually part of the Indo-European, and the former isn't.

I feel this term Indo-European is over-used and becomes a blanket for racial supremacy ideologies. It's like how Indians use the word Aryan to feel better about themselves because they speak "Indo-Aryan" languages. The word Aryan loses its original meanings and becomes a rallying call for Jai Hinds about how they are superior and have links with Germanic peoples. Very nasty.

Well my friend told me it is the body odor that is repulsive. I know case when movie house play Indian movie, nobody want to go near that cinema for a week or so. Chinese and east Asian in general does not have this body gland apocrine. Specially in hot and humid weather that is why they moved! Japanese do the same thing too!
