The ultimate betrayal.
Tell two generations of people to go to college/learn to code. Then give all of those jobs to foreigners because they cost less.
@TiffanyFong It’s doesn’t;
In fact when it comes to Elon, he has profoundly enhanced humanity.
Elons unique on the spectrum “imagination” and “willpower” to create and succeed on behalf of mankind, makes him very special asset to us all.
Everyone has been so impressed by Japanese fans cleaning up after themselves but most probably missed this beautiful moment at the post-game (🇳🇱2 - 2🇯🇵) press conference.
Toward the end after reporters were done asking questions, 🇯🇵head coach, Hajime Moriyasu, asked to speak one more time.
🗣️ “May I speak?”
He turned to the Dutch reporters in the room.
🗣️ “I think there are many Dutch reporters here as well, so I’d like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the people of the Netherlands once again.”
Moriyasu explained that when he became part of the Japan national team, Japanese football still had no professional league.
🗣️ “I was trained by a Dutch coach named Hans Ooft. It wasn’t just me. Japanese coaches in general were greatly influenced by him, which has led to the development of Japanese soccer today.”
He also mentioned another Dutch figure who shaped his career.
🗣️ “The legendary Dutch coach Wim Jansen served as the manager for J.League’s Sanfrecce Hiroshima and also as a coach for Urawa Reds, contributing to Japanese soccer.”
🗣️ “It’s not just those two. Many other coaches and players have contributed to raising the level of Japanese soccer, so I want to express my thanks. Thank you very much.”
What a masterclass in graciousness and gratitude. Imagine after a high-stakes match, instead of basking in glory and bravado (well-deserved in my opinion), the coach took to the microphone to... thank his opponents publicly and sincerely.
Japan's cultural operating system prizes harmony (wa), respect for precedent, and gratitude as a form of strength, not weakness. Japanese sports culture reflects its broader society where you'll see athletes bow to their opponents, thanking referees, and even crediting rivals or mentors.
Think of sumo wrestlers, Olympic athletes, or even bullet-train staff apologizing for a 30-second delay.
The Japanese have this concept of On (恩) - it is the sense of indebtedness to those who came before or helped you. It's what you'd expect from a culture that truly prizes continuity.
Moriyasu was acknowledging a real debt to Dutch coaches like Hans Ooft (who coached Japan in the early 90s and helped professionalize the game) and Wim Jansen. Japanese football openly credits foreign influences - Dutch "Total Football" philosophy, German organization, Brazilian flair - while building something distinctly their own. Few nations do this with such little ego.
Japan is pure class
If jokingly calling Michelle Obama a man is so bad, what would be their reaction if protesters gathered at Obama's front door with "rape michelle" signs?
Asking for a friend.
You don't want to work for Jews because they have an extreme in-group preference.
You don't want to work for Chinese because they're used to high IQ, high competence 996 servitude and expect the same from you.
You don't want to work for Arabs cuz they are new rich oil money slave lords.
You don't want to work for Blacks.
I mean, even if you wanted to, I actually don't know any Black owned big companies that can pay well.
Who you really want to work for are Whites.
Because they have low expectations for service.
They have the most diversity brainwashed into them.
Good work life balance regulations.
Someone who founded PayPal, built a car company and sends rockets into space becoming a trillionaire isn’t weird. Public servants making $174k becoming millionaires is.
Change my mind.
