Comment The Great Homogenisation of the world (Score -1, Troll) 52
It is quite sad to see countries giving up their traditions for some globalised norm. This is only a small example but entire languages have been lost this way. I don't see any great benefit to it either
Went on a trip to Morocco there recently and you'd have fellas wearing Djellabas coming at you with a horse and cart traversing the roundabout in the wrong direction with no lights, street hawkers, traditional dwellings but also the obligatory abstraction layer to make the country compatible with the stereotypical suited-up Western businessman (McDonalds, big hotels, places accepting Visa/Mastercard). I wish there could be at least one country completely immune and unscathed by this shit
