    Thank on your knees to fate that you weren’t born in Egypt

    There’s no worse cesspit on earth that isn’t a warzone

    Even India is more civilised and even nice folks in comparison

    Friend of my friend once said that staying there she will either kill herself, get r**** or join hamas and she eventually joined hamas so yeah

      My friend is from Egypt and he says the same but I have no idea what exactly is there that is so bad. Can I elaborate.

        Mentality is just merciless and cruel. Years of generational human abuse. Abused become abusers. Corruption, nepotism, patriarchy. On Egypt Facebook your feed is full of videos of animal abuse and laughing smileys in comments. It’s a dark place

      Using ‘civilized’ in this context evokes a bit too much Western colonial brain rot for my tastes.

      India and Egypt are two very different countries geographically, culturally and politically.

      India has its own problems with Hindu fascism.
