Happy new year, fellers!
This guy has the kind of humor I like
This guy is so funny (and good)
The USA in the 90s (and the West in general) was close to perfection IMHO. The USA in 2023 is a nightmare. Woke culture is the ultimate downfall of the West, which makes me quite angry against the Western Left. I'm usually seen by my friends as someone who's rarely angry, but this woke culture (neo-marxism) makes me angry as f***, because this is a mistake that should've been avoided. We should've remembered what happened in the USSR, Cambodia, etc. People don't care about history (or at least, they have a very trivial knowledge of history).
It's sad to see Japan fall. Their men/women relationships have better sides than ours (Japanese women respect men and vice-versa - they don't have crazy nutcase feminists), but they're too far apart. A falling natality is a terrible thing for a country. If we look at population at the beginning of 20th century and now, the population repartition has changed dramatically. https://worldpopulationhistory.org/map/1903/mercator/1/0/25/ Countries like Turkey have a shitty system (this country was unapologetically genocidal), but their demography is fast, which gives them lots of power. Erdogan is insulting the West every day, yet he's still in NATO. I don't know many innovations from China... which are there? They just copy/paste ideas and improve the productivity. Most of the game changing ideas came either from the broad West (Europe/USA) or from East /South East Asia (Four Asian dragons and Japan mainly).
The dude is right
@Cult Icon I guess that track sounds like what the kamikaze heard in their minds when they were crashing into allied ships 😅
Music creates both geniuses and madmen.
^ this track tells so many things. One little kid in Japan could be listening to this song right now and, in ten years, the creative forces that this song made in his mind could be the ones that unlock the next generation of microchips. (I'm very serious BTW )
I don't know if the cello is sadder than the piano (or the other way around), but "plin, plin, plon" is always strong.
@Cult Icon Whenever I feel down, I listen to "plin, plin, plon" and I get better! I remember what Gwyn went through which brings up the male tears and the will to always get better.
The problem with China is that it smothers freedom and freedom is a key ingredient for innovation. (That's why, even if I care a lot about the environment, I'm not an anti-natalist, because I think future generations will bring people with new ideas that will help us protect the environment) It's good to have hard working people, but if they can't innovate, they can't lead the world. Japan is (or used to be) a better country than China, because it's a very good combination of tradition/framework and freedom/imagination. The big problem with Japan is that men/women relationships are even more f*cked up than in the West, which is why they don't make babies any more (which is a big issue). If China can be seen as an organism, it's a highly structured one, very productive, but also a one with few mutations (so more sensitive to stagnation and more fragile). I used to admire the USA for their capacity to innovate, thanks to their (former) freedom, but not any more. The USA is a regressing country, because its imaginary is getting poorer. The US cinema (comic books, literature, and even the gaming industry etc.) is a conformist machine that parrots moral rules (woke rules). A poor imaginary means less freedom and less innovation.

I agree it's JJ's fault as well, but I put his farcical contribution to failure as a secondary cause. Star Wars is mostly a casualty of the culture wars and, to this day, I'm still disgruntled about it.
