its why having a mediterranean attitude towards work is always a good thing. work should only be seen as a means and a tool to better ourselves and our condition, our live should never revolve around work. even the medieval peasant farmers worked much less hours than the average american does today, and greed alongside with constant work without break only harms the body and spirit.

@ferrarilegends it's really common for some reason to see Arabs as lazy and not wanting to work (in fairness, nobody wants to work, honestly) but the harsh fact is that they're strongly protective of the "life" in "work life balance". They find it really strange that White people have been duped into working more than 40hrs a week and then treating it as a flex. @n8

all arabs that move to the west get hit with the hard reality of working in Europe and the US and immediately miss living back home even if you were only scraping by money-wise.

@ferrarilegends Funny enough a buddy of mine agreed with this. "sure we were poor as shit but at least we were experiencing a life more than 2 days every week or so, and then 10 years before we die."
Fuck me that's brutal.
@n8

its why most of the older people that become well off just take their money they made and go back home, or they still keep their businesses around in the US and use that money back home to game the system.

@ferrarilegends see, I used to think it was laziness, now I realize it's just giving a shit about the quality of your life. @n8

exactly. american society was brainwashed to think that actually caring about yourself and your family over money and the small, statistically miniscule chance to generate lots of wealth by stepping thru the career ladder is laziness.

@ferrarilegends It's also worth noting how annoyingly narrow the definition of family is in the USA. In the Middle East and Asia "family" is broad as fuck. In the USA they have to preface with "extended family" if it's not your immediate family which is dumb. @n8

even in the middle east, you'll see children raising their own families at their parents home. even some of the more well off families in the middle east will just expand their houses into mini-houses to let their kids raise their families in, or they'll just live near each other.

@ferrarilegends I had to explain to someone that this is why "rich people houses" are traditionally very huge. You had your family, probably your spouse's family as well. If you needed them, servants and maybe their families. So you had a shit ton of people and a 5 bedroom house won't cut it.

People are mocking young Americans for living at home but to Southern Europeans, most Asians and Arabs that's completely normal. The issue isn't that we're "childish" the economy just fucking sucks.
@n8

@orcbuddy @ferrarilegends @n8 Extended families living together was the norm for most of human history, and there's something to be said for it. No way can a couple both work full-time jobs and raise a family without significant family help.
The American idea that kids should leave at 18 and buy / rent their own homes is a complete jewop. The eternal kike benefits from more houses being built/sold and more apartments being rented.

This is particularly prevalent in the US because America doesnt have its own culture (except nigger worship and consumerism) so it is much easier to indoctrinate them as opposed to long standing traditions in European countries .

@cosmo I hate to sound like a fucking tree hugging faggot but in terms of environmental responsibility, all of this housing develop is unsustianable. @ArdanianRight @ferrarilegends @n8

Respecting nature is based and Whiterace-pilled. It was only recently that the faggot neolibs appropriated it from us. Hitler was a devout vegetarian and National Socialism is foundational in respecting God's nature.

@cosmo I'm not the biggest fan of being out in nature most of the year (allergies are hell) but I'll fight like mad to keep it pretty. I like parks and nature and all that pretty shit. The fact that giving a shit about the environment is political is a disgrace — we don't own this planet, we borrow it from future generations. @ArdanianRight @ferrarilegends @n8

@orcbuddy @cosmo @ferrarilegends @n8 I would say we were loaned this planet from previous generations and owe it to them to make the most of it, now and going forward. The proper hierarchy would make us owe everything to previous generations, having nothing of our own. Future generations and the world we give them is our legacy, and so taking care of the environment for future generations is something we owe to ourselves and to those who came before us to give us life. Saying we "owe it to future generations" who have done nothing to put us in their debt is how you get entitled little shits like Greta Thunberg who can bitch without doing anything themselves.
