Keep wallowing in your small minded conspiracy theories for babies. I'll be discussing the real world threats with the adults that can see the world as it really is.
And fuck off with your slight against asian culture btw. That tells me you are certainly one that does not understand the world and why thing are the way they are.
Guess what, "collectivism" isn't necessarily pejorative, and I don't use it that way. Communism wouldn't even be an inherently bad thing if it didn't rely on the refusal to coexist with individualists.
If everyone magically wanted to live in a worldwide communal existence, where we were all "one people", and lived our lives "for each other", that would be great. They call it Utopian thinking for a reason, you know... The problem is that it is counter to human nature, and reality won't ALLOW for it to actually naturally exist, and so therefore the collective inevitably has to reject the individual because it undermines the system.
But for people to willingly submit themselves to the power of the hierarchy? There is nothing inherently wrong with that. Jesus even says it is the proper mode of being, as long as the hierarchy is a moral one. The issue with collectivism only comes in when one identifies with the collective to the point where they wish violence upon any who exist outside of it. I hold no such belief about "Asians" in general. I think most people, throughout the world are fundamentally good people who want to live in peace with their neighbors and with the world at large. I was talking about a cognitive function, not something more sinister.
You want to point the finger and act as if I'm the small-minded one? That's a laugh.
Fucking baby. I was talking about the CULTURE of Empire, which many Asian cultures have a long, long history with. And they have begun breaking away from those cultures far more recently, and hesitantly than the West. It's not a slight, it is just fucking fact. Russia, China, Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia... All monarchic Empires that went straight from that into Communism. India is socialist. Indonesia, New Zealand, etc. ALL cultures which went from monarchy to socialistic States run from top down strong points of centralized authority.
I am not saying they have a genetic predisposition toward being a hive mind or some shit. I am saying that they are at a point in history that they are still very beholden to "the old way" of accepting centralized authority. And like I said, it bears out in many different ways. Asian cultures are extremely well organized, but not very innovative. Japan and China's electronics industries, for example, are famous for reverse-engineering products invented in the west, then mass producing them far more cheaply and efficiently than the west can manage.
It isn't a slight. It is a recognition of a DIFFERENCE between cultures that are measurably different in so many different ways due to vast differences in age and composition. Fucking grow up, taking offense like an SJW bitch.

Oh, and just to add onto this point:

I didn't slight Asian culture, retard. LOL
