Singapore is a poor example as its largely controlled by China at this point. Their sovereignty is eroding and in a few decades the Han Chinese will dominate society there.
Its so over.
Thailand is a better example. Un-colonized. Un-bowed. Un-broken. Maintains strict cultural identity despite enormous external pressures from all directions.
Singapore's problem isn't that its authoritarian its that it doesn't close its borders enough. Its not nationalistic enough and is more like a business city than anything else. . Plenty of authoritarian countries in history have closed borders. Most countries throughout history were run by authoritarian monachies with closed borders and survived just fine for thousands of years.
Oh? Is it all of history o'clock again?
Lol
