What book captures the reality of having to hear second and even third world languages constantly on the daily if you live in a western city?

My diary desu
I’m French and I must hear daily the dialects of creatures who spawned and crawled from third world pits of darkness such as Africa or Pakistan.
It’s not just the noise by the way, it’s the smell and the sight too.

Factually wrong, but even if you dislike France for whatever reason, all of western Europe seems to follow the same fate.

I don't fucking understand why I want to be fucking abused and ridiculed and humiliated and dominated by women. Even in this photograph all I can think of is kneeling at her feet and getting slapped and sent off to do chores while my cock aches. I don't understand why I'm like this. It's not fucking normal. I don't even get turned on unless there's some dynamic of cruelty, bullying and power, of which I am the recipient. It's so fucking annoying because I know it all stems from childhood and bullying at school but no matter how hard I try I can't fucking get rid of it. I wish I could just beat this whore to death and overcome my pathetic fucking self esteem killing faggotry.

Because you're based.

No but really it's a form of escapism. Masochism in particular is a way to deal with loneliness.

I come from England but my gf is Portuguese so I go to Portugal fairly often. I fucking love barely being able to understand anyone, it's so freeing. Everyone is so nice even if they hate my guts - I'm blissfully ignorant. When I come back here, it's like rapid onset schizophrenia. Suddenly I can hear how awful people are, everything makes sense again and it's shit, like waking up from a dream.

Erich Fromm.

Both the sadist and masochist need each other. Neither can stand being alone without their object of worship or abuse.

Dealing with it sexually isn't the worst thing you can do at all. If there's a remedy it's being enough on your own and also feeling like you belong in the world.

First, second, and third world are cold war propaganda terms coined by the US government.
"First world" refers to liberal-capitalist countries such as the US, Japan, UK etc. which were against communism during the cold war. They sometimes call this the "free world".
"Second world" refers to countries such as the USSR, China, Vietnam, Poland, Romania, Balkans countries, etc. which were communist during the cold war.
"Third world" refers to countries such as India and African countries which were neutral in the cold war.
Today though, people say "first world" = rich and good countries, "2nd world" = not so rich and good, "3rd world" = shitholes. That's not the historical usage though.

>Having finally arrived at the airport in Madrid, Mister encounters the use of Spanish — as does the reader. Here Kurtagic begins his gambit of scripting conversations in Spanish: “‘Pare. ¿No lleva equipaje?’ said the first número. ‘No. No llevo,’ he replied.”
>These conversations continue sometimes for half a page, with translations in 7-point font at the bottom. While this is a burden for the reader, it does add to the sense of being in a foreign country, as well as in a world that doesn’t quite make sense. In addition, it is a harsh reminder that our own English-speaking world is shrinking (“Press one for English, two for Spanish.”) Further, this first encounter with Spanish is with two brutal members of the Guardia Civil, who constantly scream at Mister because he has brought no luggage with him. Can such a situation be far off for LAX?

no dont understand.
The issue is not simply multiple languages being used in the same text, if I wanted that I would just continue reading Nabokov for example, it is hearing language, especially very ugly ones, in an environment where I really should hear them or if then very rarely. Same issue as this anon >>20991776 for you. Nothing wrong with foreign languages. It is the ugliness of both the sound, the people and the simple presence that beaing surrounded by the language brings.
