@hikelikeme עוד פרט מטורף שפחות זוכרים שבכל הזמן הזה הנמלים הגרמנים היו תחת מצור בריטי והאזרחים היו רעבים ללחם

@haravayin_hogh Maybe it's just the accents but 🇦🇺🇳🇿 feel more English while Canada is obviously a North American culture

[Boxy @Boxy_FT]

It feels like all the Anglos have this kind of insecure resentment + feeling of superiority towards Amercians. Most pronounced with Canadians which is maybe more understandable but like why are you as an Australian thinking about America at all?

[Unc Perkins @JustAFamilyMan_]

The biggest eye opener during my travels around Southeast Asia is how much Australians HATE Americans. Australia has never even crossed my mind, but they really do dislike us. 😂

[Boxy @Boxy_FT]

@haravayin_hogh Everyone becoming American feeds into this I think. When your culture is virtually indistinguishable you have to be louder about how much you are Not Like Them (again, most seen in Canada)

[Boxy @Boxy_FT]

I guess it's akin to having a relative that you find vulgar and boorish but being frustrated he's the richest most successul one in the family

[Boxy @Boxy_FT]

@UltraNosk I mean, every oomf you have in online English speaking spaces will speak English. But many Israelis are pretty basic with it. Better than some places but definitely not fluent for everyone

@OrKk1212 הם החליטו שהדיקטטור הרע בסופרמן זה בעצם נתניהו ושאנחנו כועסים כל זה

@guy_carmell At the time tho it was Israel's closest ally

Imagine showing an Israeli in the early 50s the numbers of Germany and France here

@noavic78 @vlonesumStalker I had to wear it all through high school

[Boxy @Boxy_FT]

Israeli schools don't have proper uniforms but they have this weird middle ground where you're only allowed to wear plain t-shirts with the school logo printed

[RobertRamsay @RobertRamspcxi]

School uniform policy by country

Why watch the Scorcese film with Daniel Day-Lewis when you can now watch the digital-gloss Netflix one where everyone has iphone face

[Netflix UK & Ireland @NetflixUK]

Here's your first look at THE AGE OF INNOCENCE, based on Edith Wharton's classic novel.

Arriving on Netflix 18 February.

@whealstwo But that was only after the Qing emperors being percieved as useless against Western powers bullying them

[Boxy @Boxy_FT]

What's the argument for the Chinese "seeking it out" and not having it thrust on them like the Japanese

[𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖊 🕯 @atlanticesque]

There are five types of cultures.

1. Those who created modernity (English, American, Dutch)
2. Those who sought out Modernity (French, Chinese, Mexican)
3. Those who had modernity thrust upon them (Japanese, Jewish, Turkish)
4. Those for whom modernity slowly slithered in (Indian, Arabian, Indonesian)
5. Those for whom modernity still has not arrived

@JDS1236250411 Macron is percieved as quite hostile, especially as he contsantly tries to stick his nose in the Lebanon conflict. Plus French military exhibitions covering up Israeli exhibits and stuff like that

[Israel Elects @israel_elects]

The Jewish-Arab perception gap is striking.

For instance, most Israeli Arabs view the UK as friendly to Israel, while Israeli Jews overwhelmingly disagree.
On the other hand, Jews are far more likely than Arabs to view India as friendly.

[Boxy @Boxy_FT]

@haravayin_hogh Not exactly the same but joining the US milirary has also been seen as a lower class thing, kind of for losers, since Vietnam no?

[Boxy @Boxy_FT]

Russian indifference to these kinds of losses is the most mind-boggling thing to me about their culture. Just completely alien from a western (and even more so Israeli) mindset

[Woofers @NotWoofers]

I decided to look this up. The russians are losing more soldiers every day than the bloodiest day of losses the U.S. Army took in Vietnam.

On January 31st, 1968, the U.S. Army lost 246 KIA in a single day. These losses, as well as other thousands of other U.S. KIA during the fighting, had severe political ramifications in the United States and strengthened the anti-war movement.

The russians are taking peak Tet Offensive-level losses daily (usually more) and everyone is just acting like it’s normal.
