Statist. Georgism curious. Non-partisan. Industrial policy apologist. Geopolitics and Technology.

@NekNamirrem @mattyglesias Look at the sources of GHG emissions and how the sources can be decreased. NY having free busses is a completely irrelevant thing to care about.

@Noahpinion A) the important companies have controls, and B) the slight changes in the conditional probability distributions won't be very meaningful

Jeez, it's funny you just take any leftist screed, replace the word neoliberalism with globalism and it's suddenly a rightist screed.

@gregoryblotnick This part of boomerism is actually good in my opinion. Globalist companies in your own city sucks. Sure, there’s all the great things that are improved by it… new restaurants, amenities, etc.

But globalism slowly corporatizes until every small business is destroyed.

@ChaletMocha @AlexVanSickel @cafreiman Japan has an abundance of public services and pays poor people to guarantee a basic standard of living.

@matt_nnh @mattyglesias Japan has many more MRI machines per capita and it's like 40 USD out of pocket after national health insurance covers 2/3.

@mattyglesias I thought picketty wrote a book about the Brahmin left vs merchant right. He should understand this.

@vro_ha @Mashiro_yuh You'll be publicly shamed in Japan too. You just won't be shamed for reading it. Same way middle aged women read twilight in the anglosphere when that was popular, it's a little cringe-worthy, but not that big of a deal. Westerners think loudly demonizing X is the solution to X.

@bayesiandroll @Noahpinion Kdramas are known to be over the top emotive, so that's more just a stylistic difference.

@JerryBarnett @kottur_lover22 Because the members of the allies were the colonial powers in Asia.

@Ercoman @GearoidReidy Lol, you think Japanese people sit around in bars watching sumo? That's a dumb lie.

@Msamalam @Noahpinion People who do republican-coded things felt marginalized. That made her a symbol of resistance for them. Doing left-coded things is normal in popular culture so you don't notice those political statements.

I can see why they feel marginalized tbh.

@mikublackpants @writerofscratch Realistically, you'll only ever hear chronically online foreigners talk about yamato.

@vplusasia 全て中国の方が当てはまるけど・・・
と言うか、アジアに帝国を持つ権利を主張している過激な国民が湧いてくるのも中国だし。

@WhatAre89137327 @Sangeli7 Lol, one second they'll starve if they don't do it, the next second they're forced to do it only because gluttonous Americans and Europeans.

The mental gymnastics are amazing.

@Tomoejp1236 @debito 制脳権を得るには質はそれ程関係ないと言うのが悲しい事実かもしれない。色んな人が言っている印象で認知形成する事が目的だから。

@evagreiner8 @TheBlackWallaby @shaunodwyer There's only one expansionist country threatening to use force to expand territorial control. The free world will protect the right to self-determination of the Taiwanese people. Freedom will prevail against Chinese neoimperialism.

@evagreiner8 @TheBlackWallaby @shaunodwyer If that's what Yasukuni is in your head, that's your problem.

Putin is a war criminal and Xi gets along with him.

An unprovoked invasion of Taiwan would constitute a war crime in the eyes of most internal observers.

Where's the outrage reserved for war crimes there?

@evagreiner8 @TheBlackWallaby @shaunodwyer The ashes of the class-A war criminals were scattered across the Pacific.

@gch6888 @BeijingDai It's fake, promoted by an army of bots. The Japanese is clearly weird.

[lmx @trinmix]

@claudes24060374 @BeijingDai It's not even a real post. The Japanese is extremely unnatural. Chinese social media is full of rage bate encouraged by the government for public opinion control.
