Some Guy TT posted:im not sure where youre going with the kpop analogy but yes ethnic korean immigrants to the west tend to be hypernationalistic precisely because those were the only people the dictatorship allowed to leave and anyone trying to just bullshit their way through the process would be smart enough to shut up about how bad the government was when theyd escaped from it This confuses me. You imply that it is Korean immigrants are kusanos but then say that Korean immigrants would seem goody two shoe fruitcakes to those in the mainland.

that was my intent yes ironically in the context of american politics many of these same immigrants would consider themselves to be liberals and in fact generally vote for democrats although trump cut in hard on those numbers this election just as he did with everyone else who wasnt a white male suburbanite

i wouldn't know though. i made an older korean friend, in his 50s, playing amateur tennis. he could totally kick my rear end at tennis and run circles around me. moved to the U.S. because he didn't want to subject his kids to the korean school system. lived there under the park chung-hee dictatorship which he had... mixed feelings about because there was economic growth but it was also a brutal military regime. he was a student when the government cracked down on student demonstrators. very devoutly christian and very involved in his church. but at the same time, pretty left-wing and was a fan of thomas piketty. his english was not very good but when we got to politics after a few months of tennis he was like "do you like piketty?" he worked at a factory making helicopter parts (harnesses etc.) and was way more sophisticated than a lot of people here in texas IMO. lost touch with him. he ended up getting tickets to a texas rangers game from his church because they have a korean right fielder. so i went with him and his church buddies and ended up in the korean-american section cheering this guy on. that was fun. there's a pretty sizeable korean community in this metroplex and they have some really great restaurants, and going to their part of town is like visiting a global village. there are expats from all over the world who go to koreatown. bakeries. supermarkets. fried chicken places with big screens playing kpop music videos. extremely modern and cosmopolitan. good stuff.

I always assume that U.S. immigrants from whichever country with a history involving socialism are going to be wealthier/more right-wing than the average person from that country

It seems to be a phenomenon amongst many diasporas. I read a thing about Indians who visit diaspora Indian communities in Britain and being surprised that everyone there still wore Shalwa Chamises that looked like they were still from the 1960s or something. You leave the old country and are just frozen in time while the old country moves on.

If you visit India you'll see them all the time. From my general experience with the Indian community in the US, the older generations wear them all the time, where people like my mom and her Indian friends will wear them to formal events. It's made a big resurgence with the newer generations that want to get more in touch with their roots.

I moved back to the US after many years in Asia and I was basically waking up from being cryogenically frozen. It's easier as an American because our media exports a lot of trends but it was still pretty bad edit: it was basically like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRRqVcwXb5c&t=806s Antonymous has issued a correction as of 02:11 on Dec 30, 2020 |

stephenthinkpad posted:What are you talking about. Homosexuality is not a western concept. It was pretty trendy in Ming dynasty. Good thing the Ming Dynasty is still going strong then! This might come as a shock but reverting to Maoist policies might involve some trade-offs that 60 years later, impedes if not rolls back, progress in many ways.

lol https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/other/why-chinese-youngsters-are-embracing-a-culture-of-slacking-off/ar-BB1cj69m 'Shanghai-based Clarisse Zhang is one of the youngsters who feels they have missed out on a golden period, when simply working hard could mean a ticket to a better life. The coder, who asked to use a pseudonym, has become an enthusiastic convert to the touching fish philosophy. She now arrives at work after 10am, and leaves the office at 11.30 to have lunch, which could last over three hours. “Sometimes I put fake appointments on my calendar in case anyone asks for me,” she told Quartz. She will also go have a nap or read books in her car, which is parked near the office, when she doesn’t feel like working. '“‘The ‘touching fish’ trend is tied up closely with intensifying involution in China,” says Zhang, who works at a listed Chinese internet company. “People who have the capacity to compete are using all their strength to squeeze out rivals, while people like me, who don’t have that kind of energy, chose to lie down and be happy losers,” she says.'

I've seen some of the 996 stuff being transplanted in US tech circles by Chinese expats. young people burning out in a CV arms race seems like a cross-cultural phenomenon

Alot of China's propaganda efforts would be alot easier if they just let the Uyghur families know where their relatives are and let them go home freely. I mean it's not that hard to not disappear a million people into camps unless you really really want to.

I think that’s the right thing to do, but I don’t think that would solve China’s propaganda problem, which is larger than Xinjiang and has more to do with its relationship with the west
