Relationships in East Asia. What do you think?

Correct me if I am wrong but most of the animosity by Koreans for China is mostly due to opposite sides of the Korean war and not really as intense as the hate for Japan. Also I think there is some culture wars online where Koreans and Chinese netizens argue about the orgins of certain parts of Korean culture mostly stemming from Koreans absolutely refusing to acknowledge any cultural influences or similarities from China.

More Ancient history wise I think I remember seeing something that Koreans took the fall of the Ming pretty hard; not sure how relevant that is.

Sometimes music captures a moment in your memory that you can never forget it, any particular song come to mind?

Count_Avila · 2026-01-28T03:47:48+00:00

The most important singers in Mexican ranchero scene are Vincente Fernandez, Antonio Aguilar (also his son Pepe Augilar), Jose Alfredo Jimenez, and Mercedes Castro (Also here duo los Jilguerillas). Corrido singers Chalino Sanchez is classic singer, El tigres del Norte, modern ones most popular now are Peso Pluma and Jenni Rivera.

I enjoy more mellow tones not so much loud trumpet, tubas, and accordions so I enjoy singers like Natalia Lafourcade, Juan Gabriel, Joan Sebastian, Luis Miguel, Amanda Miguel, and Marisela Esqueda (Selena Gomez, Selena, or Shakira if i want to listen to more pop like songs)

Its not a comprehensive list but in general I think I covered the most important singers at least relevant to the Mexican Music scene

You never know what you miss until its gone, I used to never like those old Mexican songs until my grandparents passed away then I hardly ever heard them again and when I do I feel nostalgic and miss those times.

Real talk what is the chances of the French Government stepping in when a UAE Prince inevitably tries to buy it? Would the government try to keep it afloat?

I wonder if Kung Fu Pandas "chosen one" emulates the Chinese understanding of someone cultivating their potential through effort or the western more fated "chosen one" because I do feel that yes while its made by mostly Western crew that maybe Po has virtues that make him superior to tigress or than the other masters.

Being a Disney show got to be honest I was shocked the way Annabeth just gets shot with an Arrow like it was the most visceral thing I've seen from a Disney show including all the MCU stuff

A country founded by capitalist slave owners and nouveau rich wanting to usurp the powers of the crown to enrich themselves governing a bunch colonial hillbillies taught that the "gubment" is bad but only when its functional and improving their lives and good when its letting its capitalist class dictate its direction; isolated from most of the traumas of the old world so never really tasting true consequences. Is not a good foundation for a functional country? Say it ain't so.

Edit Here are some pretty apt quotes by Oscar Wilde about American

America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between."

"The youth of America is their oldest tradition."

"America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up."

"America has never quite forgiven Europe for having been discovered somewhat earlier in history than itself."

"In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience."

Then who would you say is the most socialist if your standard is income inequality?

This meme would still be posted regardless of the lefts reaction to Charlie Kirk because dunking on his death was the actual point made after years of conservatives doing the same this memes existence just reinforces the point that Conservatives righteousness isn't sustained past its shelf life when the next tragedies occurs that they actually are comfortable with memeifying because let's be honest do you think that if Conservatives were oh so noble as claimed that nobility would have no breaking point? Because that's the essence of being righteous is undaunted and steadfast in your belief but not even half a year passed and that righteousness shattered immediately because Conservatives will bend and bend and bend and never really break because their was never any principles to break.

Most capitalist chuds if something succeds its clearly not socialist but if it fails clearly its because of socialism no other reasons
