yeah, that’s true, i guess what makes it a bit off is i’m accustomed to hearing awful things about the US.
yeah fair point, do you think it would make sense to say that some have knowledge of it besides academics & people in think tanks? like politicians i guess
Hm, I think the kinds or categories of differences might be significant. Enough for legislators and policy makers, and I think enough for residents of different countries to get some perspective. If there’s no context or the context is not well understood, how would one know if things can get better or worse in a meaningful way?
Ah ty, I’m learning spanish, is it supposed to be like the word “estadonidense”? i’m learning spanish from south america if that means anything in like word usage
That’s fair. Don’t you think the main point still stands? The US is abysmal for healthcare and is comparable to a much poorer nation which it embargoes?
Hey what is EEUU? I’m getting blanks on my search.
EDIT: It means amerika
lame, day-by-day im more satisfied with not reading harry potter (mostly cuz the magic didn’t make sense to me and i kept mixing up the names of the characters…)
Yeah reading what happened (outside of the book) the same vibes are there. It really made me think the endorsement on the cover from obama was genuine lol
I don’t think they are federated? Neither is the other big community whatever it’s called.
Yeah, maybe not talking about more of what happened during the Cultural Revolution? I thought he did a good job, portraying the awfulness without getting off-topic. Or the reader may have been expecting something less banal? I’ve read propaganda works with a strong bend against a country’s before, like Heart of Darkness, or in a more light-hearted manner, Catch-22. I’d be curious what the OP felt was too pro-china, as it was something that went completely by my radar.
I thought Liu Cixin portrayed the US quite favourably in the second book, I was pleasantly surprised. Really took a ‘equal but different’ approach to other cultures I feel.
Trisolarians suck though, except for that one cool one.
t-shirt for me
prices are lower, piracy is nearly free for most, no?
oh whoops, the audience or readers of harry potter. slavery is sorta a normal thing (as in, people are aware it is and was a thing) where as nose-less magic villain is more novel
ah ok thanks for the clarification! wish i read this before replying to DragonTypeWyvern
i’m gonna be completely honest with you, almost everything you said after ‘graduates’ went over my head. i have no clue what an auror is, did you mean the aurora like the thing in the sky?
Do you think it’s because more people seem to defend or put stock in the elf slave stuff as being ok?
I only watched the first three movies and didn’t read the books. Why do people say harry was a cop? I didn’t get that impression from the movies I watched.
yeah this was my kinda sense, why do fans tell me it’s simple? i like brandon sandersons system, doubly so because he has like different implementations of the same magic system in different series in the same universe (‘cosmere’)
