The Chinese Communist Party just enacted a policy in Mongolia where it is now illegal to teach the Mongolian language in schools and all classes will be in Mandarin Chinese from now on.

Yes, this is very similar to policies in the 19th and even early 20th centuries of discouraging Native Americans from speaking their tribal language in schools. But we are living in modern times when this sort of cultural destruction is supposed to universally condemned. BUT... the whole world is going to ignore this latest crime by the CCP... AGAIN, because they don't want to upset China or they don't want to sound like they're siding with Trump.

And I bet the rock he was shaving with his knife is a big block of Himalayan salt

Wow... Someone talks about the wonderful, relaxing joys of fishing from a quiet water-side bank on a brisk, cold winter day and all you can do is jump in with some archaic, stupid political shit? Dude, your life must be an absolute, constant misery of political obsession! I feel sorry for you.

Why fish when I can just train a murderbird to hunt landmeat for me?

Why would you want to live in an overcrowded, crime-ridden, vermin infested hell hole of a city where you have a 50/50 chance of being murdered every time you leave your filthy, scabby little hovel?

Judging by landscape he just burned his yearly storage of wood for this video.

A week of that and I'd want to lead the Golden Horde outta there and into China.

Why would you want to live in a barren shithole?

Ok but who filmed this? Was this his own video? I am now wondering if people there, who live lives like these, have technology and frequent the internet enough to know of saidit, reddit, etc.

Do they have gigabit Internet, or building it out? If so, I'll add it to my list of cool places I may move to someday.

Because fishing is boring. You just sit there and wait. And wait. And wait. And wait.

I'm guessing you'll never know contentment.
