On stormfront you’ll read in massive subs such as r/soccer that Paris has a pocket of safety surrounded by pure crime. They’ll say shit like, “I went to Vienna and Budapest and not once did I feel unsafe”

You ‘felt’ unsafe? Are you just shitting your pants everytime you encounter an Arab or someone with slightly more melanin content? Like, almost every city I’ve ever been to where people say it’s unsafe is just a place with more minorities and I’ve never once felt unsafe.

    I visited Paris once a long time ago. Everyone was just kind of generically an ill tempered dick. The only people who were nice to us were the people, presumably immigrants, who ran the kebab shop near our hotel.

        As a contrabassist, I’ve always wanted to visit prague and the czech republic because prague is like the Mecca of classical string instruments (and, well, people seem super hot there) but I’ve heard some ridiculous shit about antizyganim in Czechia and, well, I look kind of Roma so I’m scared shitless of ever traveling there.

          theres definitely issues but in prague youll be fine. its definitely not as diverse as other cities though which has its own host of problems (re: ive heard about people staring a lot because they almost never see black people).

                  New bit: Dealing with the crushing reality that you are getting older, always getting older, and that whatever deep-seated insecurities you hope to suppress by being a weird hateful loser online are only metastasizing, warping you into something almost certain to die alone and afraid, having never known love. You are running out of time.

                      I went back and forth on adding "hateful" as a qualifier because using it on these types by itself is lib shit that will only provoke a :yes-chad:, but I think there's enough other vitriol on there that I can add an anti-friendly fire caveat without watering it down lol.

                      But even before that, I recognize your username and I don't think any of it applies to you:soviet-heart:

                      Nah if you see a humanistic goal beyond just yourself, and have comrades that you struggle with, you are part of an ever-renewing braid of rope. If you live for others, you can understand yourself as a piece of a puzzle that has the capacity to experience things.

        I went to Prague too on that same trip. Beautiful city, but we got scammed by someone claiming to be a subway ticket inspector.

          thats a common scam they target people that dont speak czech and cant read the signage easily

              in general i strongly suggest, whenever you visit a smaller country with a small language, learn the words required for signage. you can probably get by on that 99% of the time because in prague a lot of people speak english because its an international attraction

                Yeah I learned from that experience and when I went to Russia (not a small country, but definitely not English friendly) I learned to read Cyrillic and some basic vocabulary. Really helped us because none of the fucking signs were in English, even in Moscow.

                Still keen to go check out Czechia again some day though.

                  visit the mountains in spring! its very very pretty. id suggest north west of the country near karlovy vary they have a bunch of springs and old ass alcohol distilleries, lots of beer, local spirits, and so on. its only really known to czechs and germans so its not super crowded usually. the spas are fun
