@franzbroas@raptorsringszn2 Pretty sure this guy is Chinese though, so your comment about the Vietnamese doesn't really apply. No one in Asia feels that way about the Japanese except for the Chinese
@warlovelock@hypersaiyangoku Instead of a religious figure in Christianity or Islam or other organized religions, the moral and social foundation of certain East Asian countries is Confucius, the "Great Teacher" himself. Mocking someone like her is like mocking the teachings of a secular prophet
@warlovelock@hypersaiyangoku YouTube is more normal and well-adjusted compared to this schizo hell, but even then diminishing academic achievements, even those of their enemies, is off-limits for the schizos in Asia.
@Vigdis_zovut@hypersaiyangoku I'm quite familiar with how Russians are quite envious and dismissive of those who stand out among them. Asians are also like this but in academia, the mindset is opposite
@warlovelock@hypersaiyangoku Nah, Russians definitely have a culture of tearing down others who excel among them. I mean, every group does but even the dissident and degen Asians (degen Russians would be Ukrainians in this case) would avoid tearing down someone for a rare academic feat
@thejoeydavis@redrummarts It's a Writers Guild practice to credit the person who wrote the first rough draft and pitched the idea. The creator could then literally contribute to 49% of the script and edit all the jokes, but only the first writer gets the credit
@redrummarts A credited writer is just the one who made the first rough draft. Half of it maybe rewritten by the show creator, but only the one who wrote the original draft is credited
@redbtkn@doushabao07 Still carrying the consciousness of having some "Chinese" ancestry is more of a hybridization like the races in the Americas, not quite total onomastic fusion where discovering a foreign ancestor in your family tree is some ancient trivia
@redbtkn@doushabao07 Complete assimilation is itself an end to "assimilation" whereby the assimilated themselves become the true indigenous, no longer retaining ethnic consciousness from elsewhere. Koreans got half of their clans from China but they def think of themselves as 100% Korean from Korea
@VMinhTheBold The Pally embassy which is Fatah that has nothing to do with these resistards and Hamas simps can give you an authentic one for 1/10th the price
@30Hayyan@AnonymousLeftie@souljagoyteller Instrumentally speaking, not a lot of differences between ML-style governance and non-committed pragmatism, except that the justifications for the former must have a clear teleology. It's dialectic vs. eclectic
@30Hayyan@AnonymousLeftie@souljagoyteller Backing yourself into a corner by choosing only one side of the aisle is not very PAP-like. As for MLism, this is the party-state superstructure & material ideological base embedding itself in those countries. It can choose to run capitalism now but roll back everything if needed
@30Hayyan@AnonymousLeftie@souljagoyteller Ideology itself is material. The remaining ML countries have party cells everywhere whose members must train themselves rigorously on the ideological material. An administration whose main bases are its bureaucrats and middle managers doesn't
@30Hayyan@AnonymousLeftie@souljagoyteller Putin and Russian officials still throw around "comrade" to address each other and when talking to communist officials in China, Vietnam, Cuba, DPRK. United Russia is still a big-tent, non ideologically-committed, "pragmatic" nationalist party.
