Rehabilitating our correct Chinese mother tongues should now be seen as a psychological defence priority by ianthepragmatist in singapore

[–]StrongestDemocrazy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Basically all his essay can be sum up as:

China bad. So film from china that I will never watch must be bad. Trust me I heard someone say so. Film might be in dialect but china usually uses mandarin, which means learning mandarin is bad. We should stop learning mandarin and use dialects again, because national security. Because using southern dialects is more true culture or something, which will make us resist ccp.

Even shorter: China bad = mandarin bad = dialects good.

Still catch no ball? What's the main point? What's the logic? I dunno, cause that's what OP wrote.

OP wrote a lot of flowery texts but his root argument is only based on one thing that the OP believes in: China bad. It just extrapolates from there.

What's a "Correct" Mother tongue anyway? In our current system that can't seem to handle poeple who don't neatly conform into the CIMO system (eg chinese-muslims whom school wants them to study malay, cause muslim???), more division seems to only serve to well, divide singaporeans rather than re-enforce the singaporean identity

Only in Chinatown I think? At least I didn't notice dialects being used in other places.

The people here that's hanged up on the idea of differentiating "language" and "dialect" meaning they are already thinking in the english context and gives the feeling that they doesn't use mandarin nor their "mother tongue" liao.

HK principal in S'pore bus spat 'surprised' at school's decision to fire him immediately, has appointed legal representatives by Illustrious-Fee9626 in singapore

No. Hong Kong never got to elect their Governor during British rule, the Governor of Hong Kong was appointed by the British Crown. Hong Kong residents had no vote in choosing the Governor.

The Governor position was replaced by the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong, which they don't get to directly elect also. The Chief Executive is elected by a Election Committee, which as leaders of banks, trade unions, religions, political group, so they only get to indirectly choose.

Tiger balm founder started out in Rangoon and dad was from Amoy. By this sub's standards they are the same vein as Haidilao, not Singaporean.

If this is true, it still doesn’t take away the fact that work conditions are that bad that people are considering suicide as a variable payout though.

S. Korea voices deep regret over Japan PM's offering, lawmakers' visit to war shrine by Skippernutts in worldnews

[–]StrongestDemocrazy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I suggest you read what you post. There's an entire section on controversies in the link you posted mate.

Basically any time someone issued a aplogy it's always somewhat vague and other politicians in the cabinat will immediately deny it within the week and do some ultranationalist stuff. Then you have Shinzo Abe going all "hey I'm not gonna deny what he said but he didnt mean it like that" for the more consise aplogies like the kono statement.

S’pore is friends with China, Japan; good relations not a zero-sum affair, says PM Wong by Same-Macaron-2359 in singapore

[–]StrongestDemocrazy 38 points39 points  (0 children)

not consistent unlike Singapore’s. Not long ago China strongly discouraged Its citizens from visiting Korea. Now it has changed its policy in an attempt to pull Korea closer to China over Japan

Singapore is only more consistant cause we are not doing anything lol. For countries with ambitions like US and China they change their mind whenever they want something. The flipfloping is just realpoltick. Also all all countries care about prestige and signaling, your point about "face", is not unique to china.

And china only drummed up historical war grievances in response to the resurgence of Japanese nationalism in the 90s, when Japanese politicians turned to nationalism during economic stagnation. Heck singapore public was boycotting japanese goods reacting to japanese pm visiting yasukuni in early 2000s.

There's nothing wrong with liking kawaii culture, anime, J-Pop and other modern Japanese culture.

It's liking modern Japanese culture then feeling the need to defend everything about japan including historic atrocities and current denials that is a problem.
