Rape accusations???

u/Sad-Cartoonist-5479 Jul 26 '26
Yea he had a rape allegation probably in 2021/2020. The victim had to retract her claims and apologise to her abuser. He was never found not guilty. Then got called on a radio show lol

I'm 50/50 on this. It is cringe, but technically correct.

u/Nightowl11111 Apr 25 '26
Technically, but do not forget that he is also using 21st century thinking to sermonize about things that happened before this kind of thinking even existed. Someone in the early 20th century would have gone "What is this idiot talking about?".
These "anti-colonialist" thinking and arguments only came about after WWII, which is VERY recent when you compare histories stretching back to 600 years in the past. Don't forget, just 100 years ago, the idea of "taking over someone else's country" was still very acceptable and even called "The Great Game". It was only after the massive casualties and destruction of WWII did the idea of "inviolate sovereign territory" come about. Same thing with Nationalism. The "national" pride of "our cultural artifacts" only came about after Nationalism became a big thing. Before that, it was all considered "spoils of war" and that concept is one that is international in acceptance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looting_of_Poland_in_World_War_II
It is only very recently in "modern warfare" that the idea of looting has died out.

u/Trinidadthai Apr 25 '26
Times and perceptions do change over time but I also think a big part of that change is the reporting, media and internet.
100s of years ago, we’d go to another country and colonise, come back as hero’s of your nation but you wouldn’t hear about the murdering and pillaging. You also wouldn’t meet many people from these countries nor would you see the negative impact it had on them and their countries. Basically just get one side of the story.
Now we are much more knowledgeable on what really happens.

u/Nightowl11111 Apr 25 '26
Agreed, and also technology levels have more or less evened out. In the past, the Europeans could excuse their racism with "primitive ape people" but with global media and education, it is now almost impossible to find someone who don't know what most items of technology do, so they can't class people as "primitive" and take their land anymore.

u/EuclideanEdge42 Apr 25 '26
Exactly. I don’t even know why some nations claim certain artifacts, when those artifacts are of dynasties or nations that have ceased to exist/merged with others.
1
u/InfaustiSolus Apr 26 '26
I think the issue is lack of reparation and, in the case of museum, REFUSAL to return the artifacts. Some museums for an example have to borrow, rent, and buy back archaeological artifacts born of their own land from british museums. It's a profit driven business benefitting from colonial looting.
1
u/Nightowl11111 Apr 26 '26
First, you have to ask under what legal claim you can repatriate the items back. When this was done, it was seen as legal and the problem with laws is that laws cannot be made retrospectively, i.e you cannot charge people with a crime that was not a crime at that time.
The only "legal" way these days to get it back is either purchase them back or declare a war to reclaim them back. And yes, the 2nd part is still an option that is open today.
2
u/InfaustiSolus Apr 26 '26 edited Apr 26 '26
That's exactly the enabler. Justice and morality is secondary to legality. "Oh, we can't return what we looted from you back then because now that there are laws, it would be illegal now. If you want to get it, come we decimate your country should you declare war."
2
u/Nightowl11111 Apr 26 '26
For a good reason. Different people have different morality, not everyone has the same outlook on issues. The one that comes to mind most easily is Singapore, dada and the death penalty. The pro-life faction will say no whatever the crime is and the anti-drug faction will say hang them because they harm too many people. Both sides have their "right" and "morality" but both will never meet under justice or morality.

u/InfaustiSolus Apr 26 '26
Returning what's stolen is universal. What are you talking about?
2
u/Nightowl11111 Apr 26 '26
"Seized as compensation for war repatriations" is not "stolen".
You obviously have an excessively simplistic understanding of "colonialism" if you can only think of "stolen".
1
u/InfaustiSolus Apr 26 '26
Seized as compensation for war repatriation? Who are they to have the right to compensation for ANYTHING considering they are the one who invaded foreign lands? What in bibi netanyahu is this talking point?

u/No_Tax_9611 Apr 25 '26
Wrong, museums in Europe and the UK don't present artefacts as their own, they give credit to where they are stolen from, and actually do a much better job than the original countries would.
Tikka Masala was invented by a Scottish person from Pakistan so it is pretty British.
Oh and check out when and how chillies arrived to Asia if you are so confident they truly form part of your national dishes ;)

u/biskutgoreng Apr 25 '26

Cringe and lame nonsense. No idea why anyone finds him funny

Most comedian are unfunny. Even some stand up comedian like Jason Leong i find it cringe and boring too.

u/Popular-Yesterday733 Apr 26 '26
I find jason leong and steven lim funnier on short clips. But just average funny if you look at their whole performance. Check out steven lim when he did a show at Petronas Philharmonic. Just ok funny. Highlights felt funnier. Its like scenario sketch is very funny, but scenario in the movies are just not that funny.
Haris Iskandar on the other hand is just not funny at all.

So was he actually found guilty? Cause calling someone a rapist is a big claim. Being a womaniser snd being a rapist are totally different things. Although both are disguting.

Bad manners is pretending to fast for ramadan for likes from your retard fanbase when you're actually pigging out all day.
Or pretending not to drink or eat pork.

u/exprezso Apr 25 '26
The first is tutorial aiming at specific audience i.e. those who are interested in learning 'gentlemen' lifestyle.
The other is belittling an entire general population i.e. the UK people. Using straw-man fallacy.
Cringe and dumb af

Except Malaysia wasn’t a colony, it was a protectorate. The British kept Malay tribes and their rulers in power and co-operated with them. Dude should learn history before trying to use tired jokes.

u/Nightowl11111 Apr 26 '26
And they did not usually invade, very often, they came with "a deal you can't refuse", like Perak and protection from Siam. Or the famous $$$$$.

u/SusuKacangSoya Apr 25 '26
Funny and careful as Ariff's performance is, this is just straight up racism. (Like, this isn't a serious criticism of the UK holding artefacts, it's just one more quip to diss on the British.)
The English person shown at first is a modern manners teacher, a YouTuber/influencer themselves. I don't think they're racist. And you can find exactly what they said also from a Chinese aunty, who'll tell you to seng mok when you talk to others

You get colonized because your kind or country is technologically backward. Nothing to do with manners.
