@SteveDavies365 @LordTuralyon @Porkchop_EXP The Japanese team has at least 2 black players. The goalkeeper and one more player that I was able to see.

@phl43 Growing up in Eastern Europe, a lot of the reluctance to use AC was due to cultural reasons (older people than me would always say that AC would make me sick), but also money. Now, living in Western Europe, I see cultural reasons but also what you said - zealous environmentalism

@SteveDavies365 @TownAlley @adamkjohnston What would be an example of a model that goes well with classical liberalism?

@SteveDavies365 @TownAlley @adamkjohnston What does need to be done to handle it correctly?

[Angel Hadzhiev @AngelH60726]

@SteveDavies365 @Frances_Coppola Especially as someone from the Balkans, I hope that a system of national personal autonomy can be put in place someday.

[Angel Hadzhiev @AngelH60726]

@SteveDavies365 @Frances_Coppola Yes,this lacks in Singapore. They have the CMIO system, which does not give you much room to choose. I would prefer the freedom of choice, but I think even that system in Singapore has allowed them to keep ethnocentric nationalism away while having a functional state.

@SteveDavies365 @Frances_Coppola I think Sinapore, in a way, supports national personal autonomy, and it seems to work there. I am not sure how national personal autonomy applies to mixed people.

@SteveDavies365 poem* not people

[Angel Hadzhiev @AngelH60726]

@SteveDavies365 For many people, it's simply hard to accept that a random person on the other side of the world could have been more influential for their life than someone who they had to spend hours memorizing a people about in primary school and celebrate every year

[Angel Hadzhiev @AngelH60726]

@SteveDavies365 due to Bulgaria being late to modernity, the national panteon could be only filled with generals and lots of blood spilled.

[Angel Hadzhiev @AngelH60726]

@Chris_arnade @SimmsTokuha @clairlemon It is charming,in a way,but you can see how many places are rusty, often neglected, looking old. Japanese people put effort into everything to keep it clean and organized, but despite that, you can see that it is not a booming place. Tokyo would not be a sponge city otherwise.

[Angel Hadzhiev @AngelH60726]

@SteveDavies365 generals are important for forming that national identity.

[Angel Hadzhiev @AngelH60726]

@SteveDavies365 As someone who has always been interested in history, I used to have the opposite view, but after I watched one of your videos on that topic, I changed my mind. It's hard to convince other people, though, especially if national identity is leading for them and politicians and

[Angel Hadzhiev @AngelH60726]

@SimmsTokuha @Chris_arnade @clairlemon Well, if you travel around Japan, you will quickly notice that everything except Tokyo and maybe Osaka is on the decline. As charming as Japan is, outside big cities, similar to the UK, there is not much going on. Most people seek the opportunity to live in the big cities.

@amconmag @SteveDavies365 A great example of your claim about China envy. Merz, after his trip to China, is an example from Europe.

[Angel Hadzhiev @AngelH60726]

@SteveDavies365 One could argue that similar trends can be seen in other areas, too, such as music. I don't listen to K-pop, but from what I can gather, groups such as BTS are Korean in origin, but global in essence. The reaction of some people to Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl is another example.

@SteveDavies365 @JulianHartley5 @unafraidtofly @DavidDeutschOxf @makeukgood This is an important point, and I think many people will find it interesting if you write a post on this topic.

[Angel Hadzhiev @AngelH60726]

@JulianHartley5 @SteveDavies365 @DavidDeutschOxf @makeukgood You will be surprised, but despite the rhetoric, Japan has more and more foreigners working there due to the fact they have a shortage of people. I have been there 2 times and I have seen it with my eyes. Konbini stores in Tokyo are a good example.

[Angel Hadzhiev @AngelH60726]

@SteveDavies365 Also, from posts and replies, it seems that at least some of the Americans will blame the loss on their European allies, which in turn will lead to a further strained relationship between both sides of the Atlantic.
