Have you seen those "japanese only" shops in Japan

That's different

That's literally racial discrimination

That's like having "whites" and "colored" stores and drinking fountains

In the Pre-1960s America

And they're not individualists either

They're hell of collectivist

Shouldn't you be against that?

Because they have a social facade of "niceness"

Because it's a collectivist thing

That's why they seem quote-on-quote "Loyal"

That's... Just being nationalist.

And a lot of countries are nationalist.

Also another thing

People might say China became collectivist with communism

But honestly

China has always been pretty collectivist

It depends on where you go

Coastal China is very much a dog-eat-dog world

It very much resembles America in the gilded ages

Oh come on

The more "collectivist" parts are in the inner parts of the state

Well yes

Because those parts are treated like shit

Compared to the cities

If you don't pass the Gaokao and go to a large city to college

You're fucked

Well, it did get a lot better since the 80s

But the countryside is still just

Absolutely horrible

China's countryside is much more radical

That's the thing

How?

Wouldn't you want the coastal area to lead the country's direction of growth if you want a more "individualist" China?

The countryside is literally everything that you'd detest

More radical in that they're missing the "good old days"

In the 60s

Well

The more modernized an area in China is

The more individualist it is

Modernized as in

"Urbanized"

... Goddammit.

It was backwards

Cities = less collectivist

Countryside = more collectivist

Think about it, it does make sense, doesn't it?

You're not American, right?

Are you from an european country perhaps

I'm guessing either Germany or France?

Oh come on

Ah

Okay

Well, Ger/Fr/UK is what people first think of when they say "European"

What?

That's true lol

At least that's what ppl usually mean when they say "European" here in the states

But they're overwhelmingly white

As in

+87% White

Oh come on

As much as I hate the conservativeness of the Muslims

They haven't managed to "change" any traditions

Like

There's no german holiday or French holiday that's being cancelled or destroyed

Because of a few brown people

Well

That's overrepresentation in one ethnic group

But do they have any bureaucratic power

They don't

Most of the bureaucratic power still lie in the hands of native ethnic Frenchies or Germans

They still have all of their holidays and foods

And they're still overwhelmingly Catholic/Protestant

And France doesn't exactly like non-whites

Its people are liberal

But

Have you seen their policies towards their ex-colonies

They're fucking ferocious

Not exactly

How do you explain the Malian Empire

And ethiopia (Which was christian even before colonization)

And Egypt

Is still African

African doesn't just mean Brown people

It means whatever is on the continent is Africa

Pfffft

Whatever fits your bill I guess

Why do you hate the fucking slavs so much

Like I kind of see it with anything east of Belarus

But what's wrong with Slovakia and Czech Republic

Russia was one of the great powers through 17th-20th century Europe

And former Czechoslovakia aren't any more or less corrupt than Poland

CZ/SL have roughly the same living conditions/GDP per capita/corruption levels as Poland

So I don't see why you see them as worse

Slavs are European

Oh come on

European = countries in Europe

Israel might have a lot of European Jews

But it is still Asian

Middle Eastern is Asian
