That’s too arbitrary of a grouping for me to care about these results.

- dannyw 3y agoThat’s five eyes, a common grouping even outside of intelligence. Many businesses use it because it accounts for a dominant share of revenue & profits. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

- vavooom 3y agoThe author's rationale: Countries with higher levels of individualism (where young people are less rooted in binding communities) appear to have been more affected compared to less individualistic nations (which is why I began my posts by examining the Anglosphere and Nordic nations)
- nyokodo 3y ago> arbitrary of a grouping Arbitrary? It’s the UK, and former UK colonies with historically majority UK settlers where English is the most common language spoken, their legal and political systems share a considerable amount in common, and who have one of the strongest cultural, political, and military relationships in history. This is perhaps the least arbitrary grouping on the planet.
- ffhhj 3y agoWhat about South Africa?
- mc32 3y agoYeah! What about Ireland, are they not Anglospheric too?
- TMWNN 3y agoBecause of its history pre-independence from Britain, and subsequent estrangement from Britain in international affairs, Ireland is often not included in the Anglosphere even though it has much in common with the Anglosphere culturally.
