Ukrainian-born model wins Miss Japan 2024, sparks identity controversy

  • Pretending Japan isn't still incredibly xenophobic is quite the hill to die on.

    • Zelenskiy signs decree claiming half a dozen Russian regions are historically Ukrainian lands

  • RIght, because the best way to stop bad things from happening is to have everyone forget they happened...

  • Did you even think before writing that? What am I saying, of course you didn't.

    the ROC doesn’t consider th Taiwan to be an independent state

    Because they lose any possible claim to their continuity as the rightful government of China by doing so. Also, the CCP would be quite pissy about that.

  • He must've mispoken - China is a part of Taiwan, as everyone knows.

  • I don't give a shit if a billion people suddenly decide that shooting their own brains is a great idea, shooting yourself is still a bad idea.

    • Is it just me, or have the comments on Lemmy become extra aggressive over the past 3 months?

  • hateful and violent speech toward Trump and the GOP in general.

    As should be the case :)

    These groups are only alive by sheer mercy.

  • Being apolitical is the same as being worthless. It is the absolute duty of every member of the polis to participate actively, which includes praxis.

  • Russiagate is a made up conspiracy theory

    US politicians are bribed lobbied all the time from all sorts of wealthy interest groups.

    Fallacious reasoning. Either it is one or the other, not both. Why are you arguing in bad faith?

  • Rightwingers don't get a word in, as their brains clearly can't process a single thought :)

  • How many languages do you speak?

    I speak 3 confidently, on the path to 5. If the intent is to simply glean information from a native speaker, I'm currently at 7.

    It is difficult to learn a second language

    It isn't. Americans and some anglophones think that's the case because they're lazy and look for excuses.

    some don’t and there’s an argument that kids shouldn’t be forced to as learning two languages at once can delay their primary language.

    That's complete bullshit. You do know that kids in most of the world grow up learning between 2 and 3 languages in school and that doesn't impair their native language at all, right?
