  29. Heavy Rotation: I agree. South Korea and Japan sadly seems to have been stricken with "the grass is always greener"-complex regarding the west. Many of them idealize and fetischize the west in a very undeserved way, even to the point where they don't appreciate their own, unique facial features, hair and such. Personally I blame the long standing culture of conformity in east asia that still has a bit too tight grip on the Japanese and Korean societies. To a japanese or a korean person, the west must seem very individualistic because western culture celebrates the independent thinker and personality and those who challenges social taboos. I'm convinced that in many korean and japanese citizens there are very individualistic personalities that want to express themselves, but they can't because both societies are traditionally very conformist. So people grow displeased with their own societies and culture, which manifests itself in an obsession and fetishizing of the foreign culture that seems more ideal. I don't mean to be arrogant when I say it. I don't presume to tell other societies what they should do, because as a nationalist I have respect for national sovreignty. But, I would humbly suggest that maybe Koreans and Japanese people need to take a hard look at their culture of conformity and ask themselves if it actually makes them happy in life and if there is room for any adjustments to it that allows individuals to express themselves more freely in terms of ideas, clothing, hair etc. I'm not saying it has to be so overdone like it is here in the west (because we have major societal problems in the west that stems from the pursuit of individualism), but a slight adjustment might be worth trying out.

  42. Luis Carrion: Refugees should just be turned away at the border. I'm not interested in what might get them to become refugees, because it's not my or the western worlds problem. Renewable energy sources have a certain strategic value, yes. Because it's bad for ones military strategy to be dependant on fuel derived from resources mostly found in other countries. The problem is: electricity is not as versatile as an energy source as petroleum based fuels are. Electricity might work fine when you need to go a limited distance with your tesla and have it parked for several hours to recharge. But if you have to pull a heavy load with a truck, or shift dirt with a bulldozer or (if we move over to military strategy): drive a tank or fly a jet fighter, then suddenly electricity is utterly useless as an energy source. As long as the U.S means of defense is powered by petroleum based products, the U.S is forced to ensure stable pipelines of crude oil into it's own country. To let crude oil producing trading partners succumb to civil wars ane insurrections means compromising the U.S military as a whole, and that can never be allowed to happen under any circumstance considering how many enemies the U.S has in the world. If they can manage to develop electrically powered jet fighters or tanks however, with an operating range that rivals that of petroleum powered variants, then it might be a different story. But until such innovations have been invented (and that's a big "if" because it's not even sure that you can build something like it), crude oil has to stay.
