According to the 2021 Global Estimates of Modern Slavery (produced by the ILO, Walk Free, and IOM—the most recent comprehensive baseline), approximately 50 million people worldwide live in modern slavery on any given day. The top 10 countries by absolute number of victims account for nearly two-thirds of the global total: • India: 11 million • China: 5.8 million • North Korea: 2.7 million • Pakistan: 2.3 million • Russia: 1.9 million • Indonesia: 1.8 million • Nigeria: 1.6 million • Türkiye: 1.3 million • Bangladesh: 1.2 million • United States: 1.1 million Using national demographics as a rough proxy (assuming most perpetrators reflect the dominant ethnic populations in the countries where victims are concentrated), an estimated ~4% of global perpetrators are of White/European/Caucasian descent—primarily from the shares in Russia and the US. The vast majority align with the Asian, African, and other ethnic groups predominant in the highest-volume countries. #NotAllCulturesAreEqual #Racism

It’s pretty crazy just how much of the world was built and made better by white Europeans. Off you look at the things non-white cultures are proud of, it’s literally just the culture. It’s not their accomplishments. That is uniquely “white”. Obviously there are people of every culture that have contributed, but the sense of hard work and innovation, isn’t widely shared by these other cultures, and their overall contributions are ordinary. #proudtobewhite #thankawhiteperson View quoted note →

Where is the best place to publish articles these days? #asknostr

What’s behind the surge in anti-ICE rhetoric on Nostr? Is it an influx of newcomers bringing misguided views, or did I overestimate the overall intelligence of the Nostr community? #asknostr #grownostr

Let me get this straight. A man illegally enters the USA, possesses a firearm, is killed, and you’re concerned for his life? Why aren’t you concerned for Americans that an armed criminal is in the USA? Do you care more for criminals than your own people (United States citizens)? Maybe, and just maybe go fuck yourself. I choose to stand with MY people. The ones in the USA that don’t need criminals coming in. View quoted note →
