  1. You could argue the same thing with Mexico and PRI who ruled uninterrupted for 80 years

  2.  @TheLazyEconomist  "equality" isn't the best word I'd put there, homogeneous would fit better

  3.  @TheLazyEconomist  sure sort of, the problem is that Japan being a homogeneous country means it's borders and immigration enforcement make the US-Mexico border situation look like a pathetic windbag

  9. Because they want them to do the work, lots of those monarchies, Kuwait, Brunei, UAE, and Qatar view that kind of work as beneath them So they simply pay someone else to do it, the catch is that they don't allow those workers in They stay there just to do the work and then are expected to leave the country and not assimilate

  13. But Chinese culture and the CCP HATES foreigners and immigrants They view them as an assault upon everything traditionally called Chinese, it's why you will never find an Ethiopian man, as a police officer in mainland China They don't want anyone who doesn't look Chinese in any position of power

  14.  @waluigi3807  very true, but contrast this to Taiwan where they do not care about your race or skin tone You can become a public servant or attain any leadership position by merit It's not exclusive to only those who are of Chinese heritage

  15.  @waluigi3807  buddy those minorities are claimed to be "Chinese" They are the part of the 56 recognized minority groups, and they STILL get persecution at the hands of the mainland Chinese government The Tibetans, Manchu, Hui, Uyghur, Bei have all faced discrimination and judgement from the Han majority and many still do, particularly the Uyghurs I'm talking about actual non Chinese, AND non Asian blood immigrating and trying to join society. Because again I tell you that in Taiwan, if you can speak the language and show competence you can gain access to whatever standing and whatever position and title you want In mainland China, not at all, if you don't have Chinese blood and actually look Chinese you will be flatly refused and told to your face, "You are not my race, so I deny you this" It's disgusting

  16.  @waluigi3807  In what way you think they get preferential treatment? Because they sure didn't The Manchus themselves were discriminated against, as they were the last imperial dynasty before the Han took over through the communist leadership of the CCP in 1949. As such the Han treated them as a traitorous culture From 1949 - to 1981 Their own language outlawed, and cultural practices suppressed. Manchurian women were forced into marriages to Han Chinese men, all government and authority positions even in the provence of Manchuria were exclusively staffed by Han Chinese They were denied any distinction of identity different from the CCP narrative of "One single Chinese people" from Mao until Deng Xiaoping, decided okay they no longer a threat now and have been fully sinocized Only then did schools in Manchuria begin to teach Manchurian, language and script, Manchurian history and style of dress was allowed, it took 40 years of suppression before they could be able to make any changes and that's just ONE of China's ethnic minority groups

  17.  @waluigi3807  official language? Buddy did you not know what the CCP has done? To facilitate the spread of Mandarin, they are removing and simplifying Chinese characters in the script, they do this as a form of social control, if you force the removal of the old script that ensures the population can't read it, driving a further wedge between those in the mainland and those abroad They attempting to do the same thing in The Chinese province of Inner Mongolia, forcibly eliminating traditional Mongolian in place of the CCP approved Mongolian language and writing system

  18.  @j.p.vanbolhuis8678  I won't disagree it took all the way until 1962 for example for NATO members to agree to just a standard caliber for the pistol the 9mm And even then there's been friction for who should run what for logistics, such as the Germans veto the adoption of the P90 for standard use in NATO in 2002 because they didn't like Belgium taking center stage in the SMG market and trying to supplant their MP5 why? Because $$$$ But yes more often the friction is felt when the US has been the shield for NATO members who run authoritarian governments such as Turkey, Greece (during the military Junta), and when these same NATO members don't meet the metric of 2% GDP for defense spending I'd recommend you watch the video America's problem with Foreign Entanglements by Kraut, it does a great summation and exploration of these issues and it's where the quote I posted is from

  19.  @uncleadi  The Western alliance, with it's american leadership, wasn't all that Western. It contained defensive pacts with more than 60 countries...from S. Korea, to Pakistan, to Saudi Arabia, Israel and Argentina with NATO at it's core. This was a bundle of nations that weren't ideologically aligned, and some of them even hated: (Pakistan/Israel) or went to war with each other: ( Turkey/Greece, Argentina/UK) despite being supposedly on the same side but they all were united in one commonality, they all opposed Soviet Communism Which resulted in weird entangled networks of military assistance; Where the Americans sent Israeli weapons, to Pakistani officials, to arm Saudi fanatics, in a war against the Soviets in Afghanistan However when Soviet Union collapsed the alliance lost the one thing which kept it together, the enemy This resulted in an American sphere of influence with no unified purpose The American presence, once seen as a protector, increasingly began to be seen as an American occupation abroad. And as an entanglement in foreign conflicts at home These entanglements compounded by: 1) conflicts within that sphere of influence 2) the lack of commonality by ideology or purpose 3) And the eventual attack against the main guarantor of that alliance from within supposed allies Became increasingly unpopular EXAMPLE: The US has had close military ties with Pakistan since the 1950s, as Pakistan's rival India allied with the Soviets but as the cold war ground itself to an end that relationship became strenuous. Pakistan aided terror groups, such as the Taliban, even as they were fighting the Americans Secretly built a nuclear weapons program with the help of one of America's biggest rivals (China) Harboured and provided safety to enemies of the United States (Bin Laden) And used military assistance to train terror groups to undermine a neighboring democratic society All of it, while it remained a dictatorial, Islamist, Theocracy Now the network of allied nations the US had built to coordinate against a common enemy, had unfortunately turned into a network of entanglements of conflicting interests, ideologies, and ambitions

  22. I have the same idea regarding the 3 gorges dam, which was hailed as a masterpiece of engineering and featured in so much pro CCP propaganda yet now barely 20 years later the dam has already started warping due to shoddy construction 😂 Even when satellite images showed this the CCP denied it over and over again to try and save face
    1
  23.  @dirremoire  nope it's not propaganda because the CCP eventually conceded the point and even admitted it themselves 😂 On top of that during construction they even ignored western expert advice on quality control because they said those quality control experts were "being racist" So no you can't blame western people for China's propaganda piece but I don't expect anything less from a wumao Chinese shill

  26. Well if they can keep the stability and peace within their borders yes Unfortunately civil wars and inter ethnic tribal conflicts still breakout into violence far to often Even in Ethiopia, Which currently is fighting a revolt amongst the ethnic Tigray in the northern provences
    1
  27.  @sjules6596  they are on the decline yes that is true but they are still long lasting especially in the minds of the population of the nations who have suffered from the violence regardless of the source. Which is why I said more so about inter-ethnic revolts than full civil wars. It will be a very long time before the tribes of an African nation stop seeing their tribal affiliation first and more important to as their primary identity and start to accept the National identity I only brought up Ethiopia, because it's the most recognisable in leading African nations, but it's still suffers from tribal clans that very rarely assimilate and join. It also has suffered from losing a piece of it and becoming a new nation, Eritrea, because of the same ethnic tribal refusal to accept central government authority of Addis Ababa over another tribal clan Combine that with the religious divide in Ethiopia today between the Ethiopian Christians and Muslims as well and it's a quagmire among the people With the Ethiopian government being dominated by the Oromo, the other tribes such as the Amharic and the Tigray grow in resentment, And it's THAT resentment the governments of Africa need to solve or else more and more African nations will be ripped into pieces

  28. Well I'm sorry buddy but Canada has issues you just don't want to look for them because we all like stereotypes when they are the positive stereotypes, one such issue was documented by the YT Channel Minute Earth in 2015 they are are destroying an ecosystem used by the indigenous communities in the Canadian province of Nunavut to search for oil and have been doing so continuously non stop since the project started They have a sonic canon that goes off every 30 seconds to map the sea floor, this is very disruptive to the fishing and seal population upon which the indigenous population is greatly dependent on
