The third world makes me go, "ew that’s gross, poverty, I’m scared to go there, looks dangerous, there’s probably aids and terrorism," but also, "holy shit this is chaos all over the place this place looks like so much fun" at the same time. Like I was bored looking at India, and there’s all this poverty, all these slums, and beautiful ancient temples in the jungle that are perfectly preserved and so detailed, and then you go like a block away and there’s some shacks thrown together. You can tell the British really """civilized""" the place.

India is a weird one because the stuff Indians built before white people got there looks more culturally sophisticated than 90% of the commercialized crap we build in America today, but everything modern in India sucks, but we’re like, "Why don’t they industrialize and westernize and be like us." But maybe the real problem is the opposite. Like the ancient stuff in India looks so good, it’s so aesthetically pleasing and perfectly symmetrical and detailed, and then all the modern stuff is just shit. Honestly, even modern Japanese architecture is kinda ugly, the old stuff in Japan is way better. But Japan’s not third world though. Modern Japanese architecture is like if you took an Indian slum and painted everything chrome because everything is chrome in the future. But architecturally it’s like the same shit just cleaner.

Then some people are like, "India wasn’t advanced Britain civilized them, they’re all stupid, India wasn’t the world’s richest country." Then I look at temples made in the Middle Ages in India and I’m like, I don’t know, it kinda looks like they actually might have been pretty rich over there in the past.
> > greatest cultural achievements > i dunno, the designated shitting street and "DO NOT REDEEM" are pretty high culture, imo
Most Europeans didn’t have access to sewers until the 19th century. The Romans did build sewers, but they fell into disrepair after the fall of the Roman Empire. It was actually very common for people to throw their poop onto the street for hundreds of years in most European urban centers.
> Fun fact about the Romans: they washed their clothes using urine.
They mixed it with ash and lavender. They hadn’t invented lye. The whole system to get and refine piss was a solidly engineered closed loop that ended with white togas.
Meanwhile some cultures still show their wealth by smearing cow dung on their huts.

The open air shitting in India is appalling. When they build public restrooms locals often fear there are witches in them. A lot of the epidemic number of rapes that occur in the country are when some woman goes into a field to relieve herself at night.
