Redpill me on Singapore

Leftist code word for no degeneracy.

Yeah, it's pure shit. Just another "global city" identical to every other on earth. At least they execute people for drugs, which is one positive. Other than that, it's a worthless place.

I had an internet friend who lived in Singapore, and he told me that basically all the young people are degenerate subhumans who want nothing more than to do drugs and fuck foreigners. It's basically the same as any shithole western city, but it has a nice shiny veneer over it.

That's my impression as well, but i've never been there.

What was Singapore like originally and how has it changed over time?

checked

Lee Kuan Yew is on to something tbh

Never been there, but it doesn't seem too bad. William Gibson called it "Disneyland with the Death Penalty" back in '93: wired.com/1993/04/gibson-2/

Isn't that true for anywhere in Asia?

Not at all. Malaysians, Indonesians and Japanese are friendly. Taiwanese i've heard are very friendly. Thais are pleasant but backwards. I can't say much for mainland china, but i've never before been somewhere where i've been spoken to like dirt by 4 different people in the space of 12 hours (got the fuck out after that).

Singaporeans actually think they're better than you because they live in Singapore, despite the fact they all live in one-room boxes.

Nowhere is the soulless chink stereotype more true than in Singapore.

There's some really fucking good illustrative artists coming out of Singapore, but most of them end up working in comics or games.

It's a fascist city state that does what it does very well. There isn't much a culture to speak of, because Singapore itself isn't really a nation

Singapore was originally a country that had nothing and had to sacrifice culture to get anywhere in this world.

The government had a death grip on everything in the country, although some argue it had no choice, because being a tiny multiracial country in SEA has a lot of instability.

Now we actually have some measure of wealth and progress, but in exchange people here are bred as a resource, not as a people.

You might have met some mainland chinese instead of born and bred Singaporean chinese. We're having something of an immigrant problem from china as well. No one likes those fucks.

Cities in general tend to have less culture, especially if there is lots of immigration.

Just lots of distractions and hurrying around. Makes it more difficult

It's a soulless, multicultural, globalist, crammed, sterile, materialist hellhole. Still better than most of the west though, because at least they cleanse criminal degenerates.

I have a friend in Singapore and he's a really cool dude. But I've never actually heard him talk about his country.

Sub human compared to the native Singapore population, or just because they are degenerate?

Oh, you mean that company that sells overpriced underperforming sound cards?

The very same that got shit all over by Gravis Ultrasound owners, yes.

It's particularly bad here because the government just bans all kinds of things for very little reason.

Chewing gum? Banned. Shisha? Banned. Drinking in public past 10PM? Banned. It's all so tightly controlled that people don't have any personal development.

People who support facism tend to be blind to the downsides, which is what we experience over here. It's certainly far from a perfect form of governence.

OP, note that from all the replies here, all of them critical of Singapore, none have brought up the one aspect that Singapore cares about: the economy.

Singapore is making so much money that all its neighbors in Asia want to be like them. Singaporeans can move to any of the surrounding countries and live the rest of their lives as kings with their savings, but instead their "drive" is to make even more money for money's sake. Observers ignorant of what really is going on see only an efficient, successful, and prosperous nation free of visible corruption and degeneracy despite their many conglomerates have been known to be involved in any sort of business imaginable, both above and under the table. The lure of prosperity is very tempting indeed.

You should be able to draw your own conclusions on what Singapore is.

This makes no sense. What does sacrificing culture have to do with it?

You're saying if Haiti sacraficed their culture, things would get better? I don't buy it.

The whole Singapore thing sounds like bullshit. City has big nice buildings and lots of international business. So does Dubai, and we all know how bad it is there.

Singapore has dirty laundry. They're just better at hiding it.

It's an example of our future.

Well, think of what a standard country has in terms of culture. A history, right? Maybe a traditional dress, food, music, language, way of life, all of those things.

Singapore has always been a patchwork of races due to being a tiny island, and in order not to allow any sort of disorder in the perfect bonsai garden, any kind of naturally grown culture is culled and replaced with stale, enforced, "every race has it's say, every race has representation, we celebrate every race's major holiday".

No culture has been allowed to grow, apart from the sterile and bland template that the government enforces, all in the name of preserving this country and keeping in growing fiancially.
