you're BSing the wrong guy here... you've never been to asia or even looked up stats on nationalism in asia... less than 4% of japanese people speak english, and less than 1% of people in japan are not of 50%+ japanese descent. this is because japan does not allow dual citizenship, and if you want to keep your japanese citizenship when you're half japanese, you have to start the process in your 20s or you lose it forever. korea, singapore, and many other asian countries play the same game. go live in japan for a couple years and come back and tell us all there's no ethno-nationalism.
and nothing you said debunks the greater point... that leftism is so fucking delusional today that it completely depends on extreme censorship of simple facts to keep the overton window far left.
He didn't say no ethno-nationalism in Asia. He said no Asian ethno-nationalism. As in Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, and Malay all united under Asian Pride.
both of you are deflecting with a weak ass copout. the main point is leftism can't survive without heavy censorship. the point on ethno-nationalism was just an example of where white people can't talk about ethno-nationalism despite it being EXTREMELY common in every non-white culture... another point which neither of you have refuted.
stop deflecting.
I'm not deflecting nor do I disagree with your other point. I was simply explaining how I interpreted Dom's words and that I assumed you misunderstood. I have no opinion in this discussion.
It's what you said.
stop deflecting
