Talking about this shit phonk edits of him lol.

Guy is a great speaker, I'll give him that
Wish his politics were as cool. Or maybe they were, I don't know a lot about him, but Singapore is hyper-capitalist, from what little I'm told. Anyone got some good theory on Singapore and Lee?

@Cowbee@hexbear.net Have you got any good stuff on Singapore?

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

No, I know more about the DPRK/ROK, and PRC, the rest of the East Asian countries I have more of a surface-level understanding and need to do more research.

It's an embarassing black spot for me too. I don't know a whole lot about the politics or history of Malaysia, Singapore, Burma or really most of the ASEAN contries outside of the big ones that get discussed a lot online. Guess I'll have to wait for season 14 of Blowback or something.

All you can do is learn more every day. Eventually you'll be better equipped for questions concerning these areas, that's what I do.

You're honestly a role model when it comes to patience and sharing knowledge. I know you get told that a lot, so please don't let it go to your head. You're too good of a type to lose

Haha, I don't deserve it when I get that. I'm just trying to learn, same as everyone else, and I want to help foster an environment where we can educate ourselves and each other dialectically.
