gradenko_2000 posted:Not only is it a real brain genius move to have your private universities rely on extracting foreign money from rich striplings and then just 2 doing that over xenophobia, fr??om an one ~ the greatest propaganda weapons ever wielded by the West was just having people who lived in communist countries travel to the West so they could marvel at just how much "better" everything was... and then now the US doesn't want people to be able to do that either! Plus the prestige of having the world's best and brightest, and also the world's richest, predominently choosing your schools. Plus you get to brain drain your adversaries, not only in taking some of their best students but you have institutions that can draw good researchers and lecturers that your adversaries educated domestically, too. US higher ed, despite being a merciless meat grinder was enviable (from an elite perspective) in basically every conceivable way. And now that status is probably irrepairably damaged.

They're not pandering to western culture, businesses are adapting western commercial holidays to Japanese culture. I am not sure culture is a thing to which one can pander, and anyhow the intended audience is Japanese people.

my boss last time I was in Japan referred to her currently stint there as her third 'Japanese adventure.' She was stationed there 3 to 5 years at a time. She spoke no Japanese. I eventually figured out she basically never left the US military base. She didn't know any of the local landmarks. I already tended away from to expat bubbles but seeing someone so firmly planted in one (while maintaining the pretense that she was some kind of world-wise traveler) gave me a powerful aversion to them.

China is not the ideal state. If the choice is between a future which continues to be dominated by the United States, and one where China is either dominant or a pole on par with the US, the latter is better. What isn't an option anywhere in view is China leaving a country to their own devices, and the US also doing so. It ain't gonna loving happen. I think I'd rather hand over superpower status to the Sentinelese, though. VideoTapir has issued a correction as of 12:49 on Jan 11, 2021 |

Stairmaster posted:At worse it's equivalent to what america is doing right now. And like the usa they will face no meaningful consequences for it in the end Does anyone have a link to that Chinese official, I wanna say it was on Twitter, about 2 years ago, comparing whatever it is China is actually doing in Xinjiang to boarding schools? The single dumbest thing they could have said, on multiple levels. Level 1: Not understanding what exactly it was they were comparing their own actions to. (I immediately recognized this one, but naively did not predict the next part) Level 2: By acknowledging they're up to SOMETHING, they freed the US to make up any kind of fantastical nonsense and assert that as the something to which China is up, and which they acknowledged. They basically declared China's actions in Xinjiang as a variable which can contain any value between 0 and Exterminatus.

If they're doing the residential school thing, that's genocide by the original definition; but not the legal definition which was specifically crafted to exclude poo poo the US and its allies were doing. Can't call them out on that, so you have to make up fantastical bullshit.

First of all states rights (to suck it, but also to do poo poo like this). Second, Texas used to do just that (it was changed legislatively), and Arizona effectively still does.

Some Guy TT posted:https://mobile.twitter.com/AndyKimNJ/status/1373282035633119233 Why does the US military spend millions training non koreans to speak the language (and having half of them fail not because the language is hard but because they didn't choose korean and don't give a gently caress) when there are a couple million koreans in the US who would at least have connections to the language and therefore some motivation? I am pretty sure it is so there is a supply of korean speakers who can spy on south korea...I am not sure that non koreans are any less risk for blabbing to NK.
