    Wow I’ve never heard someone say “by dint of” in my entire life. The way these guys speak is novel and crazy

    Noah has always tried hard to explain how Japan is not an ethnostate.
    He went on the long explainer of that here and then said how Japan brought in Brazilian immigrants that were of Japanese descent basically based on their looks. He also says that Japan is learning from this and will hopefully adjust their immigration policy in the future. Sounds likes Japan isnt necessarily quite what Noah says it is or wants it to be.
    I wonder how much of Noah's time in Japan is spent around expats or very westernized Japanese people?

      As a Japanese American and historian, I think Noah understands the history of Japanese ethnicity very well. There's a concept of "the mirror test" which is relatively new, used to describe the diaspora and descendants of earlier waves of emigration.

    The real problem is, every time I see a new Turpentine upload in my timeline, it is a re-upload.
    I love Turpentine, but this is noooooo good.
    If you are that desperate for content ill pretend I have an opinion, it will be better than a re-upload, maybe

    Orwell talks about being taught that working class people were "stinky" when he was a kid. (Road to Wigan Pier).

    Japan has a lot of rules but they also generate bad things like some negative aspects of the salaryman culture. And I don't think the cool things in Japan necessarily rely on all of those rules.
    The Nordics have quite casual rules light cultures* but they still get a lot of high trust perks similarly to Japan. We are very low in formality but there is a lot of common sense "don't be a dick" -respect. Finland at least feels like the opposite of Japan when it comes to being hierarchical, formal and having a strong public "face" that is very different from your real self. But it's still clean, safe and so on.
    US is quite individualistic with low formality/rules and also has low trust and safety. But there doesn't have to be this strong correlation of rules/formality and high trust.
    *We kind of have the opposite attitude to politeness than US which can cause misunderstandings like us being seen as cold and uncaring when we just don't want to bother people for no reason. Finns don't small talk and are more direct instead of hinting. Less etiquette and things having a hidden meaning, kinda like we would be slightly autistic.
