I'd actually prefer China to keep its population's intel from the west, even if it means getting backlashes like this.

- Quarrelsome 6y agoI think the closer we allow our peoples to be, the less likely it is that we will ever fight. IMO the great firewall of China is a stumbling block in the path to world peace.
- antepodius 6y ago1930s Germany didn't hate the japanese, despite them being very different from them (appearance, culture). Instead, they hated the German/european jews, who were basically visually indistinguishable.
- Quarrelsome 6y agoit was a few that pushed that hatred. Hatred is usually engineered as a distraction for a crime. Usually those committing the crime and pushing the hatred are very close.
- antepodius 6y agoYes. People in close proximity are in competition. When technology makes the whole world your neighbour, you're at war with the whole world.
- vvwvvwvvw 6y agoA world peace as dictated by the US? No thanks.
- Quarrelsome 6y agoI feel like you're making the mistake that the governments represent the people here. The peace is between the people, not the governments, its the governments that want to fight and want to keep the people apart so they don't realise the peace. If we all know someone everywhere in the world then how will our governments convince us to attack them if our friends live there?
- vvwvvwvvw 6y agoI believe we're inherently tribalistic, and when push comes to shove, any love for your foreign friend will turn sour real quick.
- Quarrelsome 6y agoI disagree, I think the tribalism is artificial and primarily bound the constraints of our ability to perceive reality due to our corporal form and its limitations. Fundamentally we're very empathetic but its all about being able to put the right information in front of the right people at the right time. Its a matter of information logistics and applied correctly; people like people. Its when people quarantine information and selectively release it (e.g. only negative information) that tribalism can grow.
