"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Former Japanese television presenter and YouTuber Kanon Aoki has warned that X’s automatic translation tool is damaging Japan’s international reputation as a polite and harmonious society.

She explains that the feature now exposes blunt or negative online comments from some Japanese users to global audiences, revealing opinions on topics like tourism and cultural norms that were previously hidden by language barriers.

Basically all of these stereotypes are how right wingers like to perceive themselves, and what influencers talk about. It also applies to things like the German efficiency myth and other things people who have not investigated like to tell themselves.

The reality is both worse and better than what is told. You'll encounter both virulent chuds and possibly quite based people basically anywhere. The language barrier makes it difficult.
