@DanielJHannan Exonyms indicate that your culture has been in contact with a particular country for a very, very long time. The Chinese names for Korea, Japan, etc are unique to Chinese, while the names for most other countries like the Western and African ones etc are just transliterations

@sanson_ganbaru It's more like the Iron Cross. It can still be used hatefully, but normal uses are completely fine. Like how the Iron Cross has normal uses that are fine, but can be used wrongly. Whereas there can't really be normal uses of the swastika flag.

@curiouswavefn As someone who grew up long after Carl Sagan's time, I just can't help but think of him as just the precursor to Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Except far more political, of course

@DrewPavlou And the Chinese Communists only got to keep the mainland after Truman graciously spared them from MacArthur's righteous nuclear rampage

@lukedepulford Of course, the vast majority of Japanese atrocities were directed against the Nationalists. Mao and his followers were delighted to see their enemies massacred. Mao kept thanking Japanese politicians for allowing the Chinese Communists to win: they could never have won otherwise.

@CNceby @DrewPavlou What is wrong with people cleaning up after themselves?

@Freedominc20631 Japan and Germany were not "colonized" after the war. The only thing the military occupation focused on was reorienting their societies away from the old fascist government to a democratic one. Mostly everything was unchanged! All the institutions and industries remained!

@JustinSadur @ww_dasilva As a skinny guy, we only eat a lot when we're around others. You don't see us the rest of the time: we're literally just not eating much the rest of the time. I rarely eat snacks at home, I never drink soda unless I'm at a party, etc

Here's a relevant article. Basically, Mainland China is a socially modern country and has the potential to grow like Korea, Japan, the ROC if it completely opens up. India has failed to modernize its society at every level and lacks modern labor.
