Al-Saqr posted:Ok lets get one thing out of the way, since 2015, life in saudi has become extremely normalized and has reached the level of social liberalism (things like women being able to dress anything they want go anywhere and do anything and drive and travel and such) that you would see in dubai minus the alchohol and sex clubs, there is now dance parties, massive raves, sports events, both sexes participating in everything, etc. the days of the religious police is well and truly gone and hasnt been the case for eight years. this was also a very good post.

He took the greyhound bus because there were no trains and he didn't want to fly. Said he passed through areas that looked significantly worse than rural maharashtra; let alone kerala.

Ardennes posted:Yeah, having lived in Moscow/the former Soviet Union it is a bit difficult to communicate to people how much life has changed and is generally getting better (although there has still plenty of places being "left-behind"). Moscow is a modern (in some ways very modern city) with a high quality of life while other cities are catching up. That said, it is ironic that "15 minute neighborhoods" are this impossible vision in parts of the West (practically considered conspiracy) when I don't think you could walk 15 minutes in any former Soviet city and not still 12 Pharmacies and 5 different grocery stores (some of them super market sized). Other cities like Tbilisi or Baku are very livable as well even if they have their issues (Azerbaijan's nationalism is probably some of the most intense in the world period). wait can you explain the last two things?

BULBASAUR posted:Going back around 2020, it was a completely different country. Clean, contemporary, modernized. I realized this when I came back. I felt like I had gone a decade ahead when I was there, and when I came back the dilapidation was obviously stateside. When I shared with my friends its natural that they didn't want to believe it. This was my experience visiting new delhi after years. I don't even recognize the city anymore.

lol is the story that this Ukrainian fishing boat or whatever violated the Maritime Exclusion Zone during a major military exercise, while tensions in the region were extremely high, and it wasn’t boarded and searched? What’s the point of all of those maritime surveillance aircraft overflying the route of the pipeline if the fiends slipped past unnoticed?

South Koreans arent working the mines themselves. Its also slightly terrifying that people will literally describe every aspect of colonialism, down to calling the people living in the target nation 'underutilized', but consider it a good thing to be cheered and endorsed Also love that 'North Korea never rebuilt its industry' is just tossed out there so incuriously

Tankbuster posted:wait can you explain the last two things? I mean the cost of living in Portland is literally like 3-4 times Moscow at this point, so they weren’t expecting they would have to make 3-4 times what they made in Moscow to have the same quality of life (probably more factoring in a car and health care etc). They moved to a place with a worse work to life balance. They didn’t think Mexicans would be in Oregon because it is a “white state” and they wanted to escape the horrors of Moscow where there would be non-white Russian citizens on the metro minding their own business.

Slim Jim Pickens posted:South Korea is one generation removed from a society of villages and urban shanty towns. its actually closer to two generations at this point and this is part of the problem thats completely crushing the countrys morale especially among young people the rapid development paradigm is no longer a convincing one for why the country is dogshit because instead of parents going well i had to walk a mile both ways to get to a school where teachers beat the poo poo out of me so i think were doing ok now theyre going well i had to do basically the same things youre doing right now and i hate my life and nothing will ever improve theres been a huge collapse in optimism basically because one by one all of the excuses for why the countrys social and economic problems exist have stopped being relevant and not only have these problems continued to exist theyre somehow getting worse the long term failure of the candlelight rallies has killed any kind of political momentum for change because that was the most extreme form of action anyone was even capable of envisioning under the highly fetishized peaceful demonstration model of political change which remains the only form of agitation the countrys culture is willing to acknowledge as legitimate and if that didnt work theres nothing else that can

Nix Panicus posted:South Koreans arent working the mines themselves. North Korean economy did pretty good post war comparatively against the south. All the ire it gets as proof of socialism as a failed ideology focuses mostly on the 90s and succeeding decades. It's just accepted as North Korea's fault and never linked to the collapse of it's main trading partner for oil. People just accept the anti-communist narrative and fail to connect oil to the economy. The source of fertilizer, fuel for farm equipment and for transport just vanished, and somehow that isn't why they experienced a massive famine.

Tankbuster posted:are they paying reparations? No, it is just literally like a 1 bedroom apartment in Portland is like 4 times that of Moscow with higher taxes etc. Basically, someone middle class in Moscow probably could buy an apartment ouright (without a mortgage) by their mid-30s if they played their cards right (not a programmer even just someone with a fairly normal job), but that is pretty much ridiculous in Portland now. I think part of it is that Russia has some of the lowest rates of English language penetration in the world (India or even China is far more exposed), and so information just doesn't filter easily into Russia. Ideas about the outside world are vague and often extremely outdated/strange. They think America of 2023 is the America of 1995 (there is even a "Friends" themed cafe in Moscow). Because of this only the most hardcore Britain/America worshippers learn English, and usually they views of the world are ... hideous and cruel. Marenghi posted:North Korean economy did pretty good post war comparatively against the south. It is also why the West is still constantly paranoid that some more oil may be leaking into the DPRK from different directions, but Juche was just a recognition of the reality at hand.

genericnick posted:Haven't read the NYT's garbage but do they actually claim they did it while the exercise was ongoing? The alternative is that it was done later, when tensions were even higher, and surveillance was about the same. Without the ongoing NATO exercise, presumably there was Russian air and naval activity in the area too.
