The 6 Most Extreme Societies Ever(We’re One). 

Few in all of Asia really.

Well, it is true, westerners cried more than other asians when the bombs fall.

I disagree that it was sinister. Cold maybe, but sinister?

Asia hates Asia more than anyone else

His statements were true, though. Most of Imperial Japan's colonies, should I say, rejoiced when Hiroshima and Nagasaki was bombed. It's like "Ha! Totally deserved it" and "Oh no! Anyway..." kind of thing, even today. Most that remembers and learns the past atrocities made by Imperial Japan abhors them (look at South Korea and Japan today) and most choose to forgive them but never forget. It's like "I forgive you for f*cking us up when it was colonized by yours, but we will never ever forget what you guys did." What ticks me today, although I adore Japan and its culture, is that they (their government) try to erase or revise their history in their education system by making them the victims during the war (which is not, in historical case).

Super stupid "problem". Unless your true goal is to find out whether someone is either a) a sociopath who actually wants to murder more people or b) really, really weak-willed.

Oh definitely. Pretend I want to be a crazy country. I wouldn't want to be next to a bunch of neighbors who could call me out or stop me. Geographical isolation is good. I think there's a bit more as well -- If there's shared cultural values with other places, you'll also have that extra eye watching over that, and they'll get mad if you try to destroy the values. And another, language. If you speak the same language, it's really easy for them to express some kind of disagreement. If your language is super different, it's harder to communicate. And holy crap--language isolates, on the other hand, where NO language is like yours, allows for much more extreme situations I think. Japan. Checks all three boxes and is a language isolate. Iceland checks the boxes. Idk if there's more, feel free to add onto what I'm saying

Whatifalt and many others point out that 2020-2040 are going to be severely turbulent due to water shortages, localized overpopulation, and simultaneous horrible demographics. That said, The 2040's through 2100 should be a good set of decades.

@@Perrirodan1 oh, well as far as I know "Chad" was the name given to men with sexual prowess, so I thought the use of that to describe masculinity, would be bad because of a multitude of reasons, I mean, I agree with what you're saying, we should all strive to be the best men we can possibly become, but to use that word, (which came to be from, well you know where it came from), wouldn't that take away the whole point of it, I mean if you're doing that, why not Peter(Spiderman) or Ben or something, I don't know, but Chad, it ain't cool, it originates from something which makes me ashamed of calling myself a man. I don't know, maybe I'm missing the point, is it supposed to be ironic or...? I'm not an original English speaker but I hope you get why I don't like the use of Chad to describe manliness.

@Octavius "Why latin America, he skipped a lot of other places because of a lack of extreme large societies" could be one interpretation

Latin america is included in the western world so he did talk about it

@Octavius i don't think it has anything to do with english or germany but with the western civilization and it's pillars who created it which would be the Roman law, Greek Philosophy and Judeo-christian values. All 3 the basis of Latin america, the christian one being more present than in Europe and the US! Therefore i would also include the orthodox countries without a doubt such as Russia as part of the west. The thing is the average american thinks on the west as a synonym for NATO or something which is incorrect. I would not include the countries that adopted the concepts of western civilization (most only some aspects) later on such as Japan as western country for example though

@@freddy4603 Well if we say Latin America is not part of the west, but Australia and New Zealand are, then there's not too many places that aren't talked about here. The West gives us all of Europe, Wahhabism gives us the middle east plus north Africa. Even India was mentioned under British Raj. All of China was counted too. The only major regions not covered are Latin America, south Africa (as in the Southern half of the continent and not the country), central Asia and South East Asia. Southern Africa is the only one of those regions really comparable to Latin America (of course Wahhabism doesn't come nearly close to covering all of the Northern part of Africa, but Africa was still brought up in the video).

I grew up in the very wealthy and waspy Montgomery County, Maryland. It didn't really become a thing until the late 2000s and early 2010s. When I was in elementary school (graduated 5th grade in 2008), kids playing outside unsupervised for hours at a time, even at age 5 or 6 was still normal.

It's mostly a thing in middle/upper middle class suburbia

That idea seems to stem from the idea of innocence which is supposed to mark your childhood with the idea being that the time between your birth and adolescence is very precious.

In Eastern Europe there were maniacs and kidnappers who sold kids for organs or to use for sexual slavery/human trafficking in 90s/00s. Still kids played outside. But every kid knew the rules - don’t speak with unknown adults, don’t approach cars, don’t accept any treat, food or drink from a stranger.

I think its more than just fear of getting kidnapped, though that's a factor. Video games make it easier to stay inside and out from under foot of parents. Not saying video games are bad, just a factor

The German Japanese Alliance that created the Axis was less an Alliance and more of lets do things together and not actually coordinate.

​@@forickgrimaldus8301I believe it was in fact the familiarity of the Slavs which makes his hatred of them seem quite natural. As the Japanese were so far away, they had done nothing as to arouse the anger of the Germans, who being a militaristic culture, valued the Japanese's apparent millitary prowess, considering they were rapidly forming an empire at the time. It makes quite a lot of sense, considering.

Politics

Gotta yank up the ladder behind you!

*Shogun

That was toyotomi Hideyoshi

@Skulmaster You're right

You have a choice between unhealthy prosperity in the West and healthy (or as healthy as a post-Communist country can be...) poverty in the East.

Fandyus, I agree, the same thing happens in Poland. But I think being on the frontier, the outskirts, these kinds of countries always retain some kind of individuality - as things change in the centre (USA, China). As long as you have people (for example, among my circles, essentially everyone agrees that it's fucked up) saying and thinking that it is wrong; eventually, society will take a new form.

@@greywolf7577 There is no fascism in Poland, nor in the World. The ruling party is not any more or less corrupted than the party before that, it's just that this time the scandals are nationalistic/ideologic in nature (which led to lots of political people in Europe to talk about that in order to fuel the nazi paranoia in their respective societies). Freedom of speech and the Judges were always a target here, to expand the state's power (in other words, it's something each prime minister slowly worked towards) but not in any way that would mean we are somehow "not free" or fascist. Do your research beyond reading an article from something like the Guardian.

Why not Russia? Anything the west does Russia naturally wants to the exact other thing.

​@Patrick Ellis Pis is ideologically nationalistic and economically socialist. Using the Left and Right-wing rhetoric is absurd, essentially every party in our nation (and in most of the others) is on the Left side of the spectrum because their economical ideas are the most important part, not the ideological ones. Their "believes" are there to get the votes, but their "plans" involve almost only rising the taxes and preparing new social support - doesn't sound like something a Libertarian or capitalistic government would do, right? There are no "ultranationalistic" tendencies, what is that even supposed to mean? They are pushing to expand their power, that's that. Were the regulations after 9/11 "ultranationalistic" or were the reforms after The Great Crisis "ultranationalistic" or maybe "ultrapatriotic"? You see why this is absurd. Just adding the word "ultra" and hoping that it will all make sense seems like something a primary school student would do. Fascism is a political ideology - just decreasing the liberties of your population doesn't make you a fascist, that would mean for example Americans are living in the Nazi state since II World War, because of their Presidents decreasing their independence and power. Saying someone is fascist or authoritarian or populist are just distractions. The only thing that matters is their economical plan (as politics are just an extension of economics). And Pis's plan is very left-wing, so I really can't find a single point in your argument. Last point: people in Poland don't really care, at least most of them, about being Western or Eastern. The country is run by a clique leftover from the times Communists controlled everything. Western societies appear to have the ambition to inspire us (and others like us) to be enlightened and kind people of tolerance - which essentially caused this society to completely reject that. Everybody here saw how Western media took the photos of our Independence March a few years ago to show that we are full of fascists - but now they took the same photos to show how much we hate our fascist government. The point being - focus on your own problems, the West ruined the world in the last 50 years, fucked up our relations with Russia, caused China to become the new USSR, obliterated any trace of reason from the Middle East, formed the almost international welfare state that can only exist as long as we are rich and exploiting any strategic resource we can find. Your words say one thing, but your hands are in my pockets. People here are disillusioned with your western bullshit, that is why it went so far that Pis managed to land almost 20% of support in the population. It was a signal to Germany, France and England and USA and Russia and China, that Poland can ditch European Union if they are pushed too far. It was a diplomatic threat, not a rise of Nazism. Again: do your research. Stop treating us like children that don't know the enlightened ways of democracy. We had democracy hundreds of years before any of you, we know how to handle it.
