You really think US has so many scammers and fraudsters? You obviously have no idea how rotten outwardly-civilized societies such as South Korea are. The scale of investment frauds and various other scamming operations taking place there are a constant plague, and the regulators are comically unprepared to deal with it time after time. South Korea is also a notoriously group minded society built on Confucius ideals and a strong sense of nationalism / ethnocentrism. I've no idea how you arrived at your theory, but it just sounds incredibly adsurd to me.
- alan-hn 5y agoWhataboutism is poor form How has South Korea changed in terms of culture and ideology over the last 100-200 years? Most places are adapting 'westernized' ideas because they appear profitable economically
- educaysean 5y agoMy post is not whataboutism. It's pointing out the absolute dearth of evidence linking higher scamming rates to societies that value individualism. A more proper name for this would be a "counter example", and it's something you should absolutely expect as a response when you put forth statements online.
- alan-hn 5y agoYour "counter example" does nothing to address the westernization of business and corporate operations in SK
- educaysean 5y agoI see where the disconnect is. I have a hard time placing your bar for being considered "westernized". Can you cite me the names of some nations that you regard as falling below the threshold?
- alan-hn 5y agoThat's a good question. Many nations have been taking up these ideologies. Many indigenous communities on the other hand would likely qualify as 'nonwesternized' but in terms of entire nations? Possibly Saudi Arabia?
