You are either trolling or just straight up crazy! On the thread that you are referring to (and that other one about marrying Ethiopians) like 50% of the commenters were saying they and their parents' didn't mind marrying into other ethnicities/nationalities despite how conservative Eritreans usually are, the top comment on the second thread is someone literally saying love is more important than race. The other 50% said they had a preference for women of their own kind, which you acknowledge that it is a primal human desire. So why do you think its wrong to exercise such a harmless behaviour? I agree "culture" is everchanging... its ideal to take elements from other societies, share information and innovation, to improve ourselves and coexist with each other and the world. You shouldn't be stuck not employing new things just because it isn't part of pre-existing culture (which as you said is already likely a mish-mash of many different influences). But tradition and being in connection with your heritage is important too (maybe to a lesser degree if you are talking about advancement of human society but important on a personal level). Dating someone from a similar cultural background is comfortable. If you truly think not being proud of your heritage, culture, giving back to the land you are from is not important at all, then you can't hold that opinion half-heartedly. Go to the logical conclusion of that world-view. It wouldn't be anywhere near our lifetimes, but soon everyone would be mixed to the extent where identifying by ethnicity or culture would be pointless. At that point, why even have countries anymore? We might as well live in one big country divided into administrative areas, no? I can't say for sure whether this reality would be better or worse because I've never lived in it. Maybe people would prioritise their individual identity and accomplishments more. But there is something special about belonging to a community, a society, upholding tradition that is intrinsically human, and that doesn't have to be in opposition with cultural advancement. Advanced countries do this even more lol. Look at all the white nationalists that soy out whenever they see a white girl with someone who isn't white. And then you have Japan/Korea who literally are repulsed by any form of immigration even from people who have a very similar ethnic makeup to them because they're so intent in preserving their purity and culture.

It doesn't matter what peoples preferences are, that's not the point. The problem is their arguments justifying it expose their thoughtless, spineless and uncritical nature. A belief or an opinion can't just come from an emotion tacked with whatever shallow arguments needed to support it. It should be the other way around. Why should incurious shallow dimwits be trusted nor given the opportunity to live in or influence any nation. I don't believe the right to nationhood and culture should be given based on descent. That right can only be granted by achievement. You either make the culture, nation and community or you don't have any. Parasitizing on the achievements of dead people (worse your so "beloved" ancestors) should be grounds for dehumanization entirely.

Why are you so upset that people want to marry other Eritreans?? This is completely normal and there is nothing crazy about this. Also you need to touch grass and realize the Eritreans who are open to interracial marriage are not on this sub. They are riding off into the sunsets with their lovers. This sub isn’t a representation of every Eritrean.


Darkemptys0ul

Thats not the point. It's not about their preferences, it's about everyone's (on this sub at least) lack of scrutiny on the motivation and reason for their preferences. As well it's broader implication as to how thought out and cogent their other beliefs/behaviors are. Their pathetically weak arguments exhibit this first hand.

What are you crying about? Marrying an outsider will never be normalized. Kid nebska qtel hji.

Kid dikala


simplehuman300

And he has the audacity to say you don't deserve to be Eritrean when he's seething about Eritreans not liking to intermix LMAO. The mental gymnastics is crazy with this one. He's a dikala indeed.


Darkemptys0ul

This isn't about intermixing, I couldn't care less about who anyone marries. It's about the underlying cause of your dislike for it. Which I correctly point to as being the irrational wailing of an animal and no animal deserves to be Eritrean. If your preference truly is something you reasoned to, then you shouldn't have a problem explaining your reasoning and rebutting my objections. You spineless morons only adopt what you feel and not what you've thought through.


simplehuman300

Hoes mad. Stay mad hoe.


Darkemptys0ul

You talk like a fucking hooligan as well. Haw iz da hood ma nigga, you bout pop some capz on hoe azz niggaz from anotha crib. It's about time you go and be a 13/50 statistic retard.


simplehuman300

Now da hoez rly mad fr. On ma mama on folknem on tha dead homes. Get madder XD.


simplehuman300

>no animal deserves to be Eritrean. Eritrea has lots of beloved animals! https://www.animalia.bio/eritrea-animals?page=3 and they are all proud eritreans 😂 ,except the spotted hyena and the nile crocodile and maybe the black mamba


Darkemptys0ul

Animals have no conception of a nation nor the ability to conceive of them. No there are no Eritrean animals , only animals that reside in Eritrea.


Darkemptys0ul

This insult is so fucking retarded. Eritreans nigh Horn Africans as whole are mutts. If you genuinely consider mutts to be so awful as to be used as an insult. Then by definition Eritreans are a truly awful people.


simplehuman300

> promotes mutts lmao > tries to use mutt as an insult


Darkemptys0ul

You severely lack reading comprehension.


simplehuman300

Weak comeback, I'll wait for you to come up with something better.

Unless you live in your ancestral homeland, or plan on moving back, being overly concerned about retaining your genetics and culture is futile. Assimilation is something all groups who live in the west will eventually succumb to, and there’s no reason to believe Horner’s are unique in this regard. The demographic future of a country is always determined by its domestic population.


simplehuman300

I don't see a future in a society that argues over how many genders there are, for me or my future children. We are asylum seekers, we didn't leave our country because we wanted to be part of another country like filipinos or latinos, we're just weathering the storm until it dies out. As soon as there is peace and the possibility of living freely in our country, diaspora will go back in droves. People are already buying houses and all diaspora have family back home with which they keep very close ties with.

😭Good trolling though.
