So is Brazil's or any poor/middle income country's. That doesn't mean we'll weather demographic collapse well. It just means we already consume fewer goods and of a poorer quality than westerners. And that it will only get worse in the coming decades. If Russia does fine, it will be because of their political economy going forward. Not because the cost of living is currently low relative to that of the imperial core - the cost of living has to be low relative to the median purchasing power of the people.

From what I understand the russian political regime is not ideologically wed to anything whatsoever. Worldviews are exploited, discarded and distilled for whatever is (perceived as) useful for social cohesion. Russia, like any other post soviet country, saw a religious revival amidst societal collapse. It is also going through the final stages of the demographic transition. Religious traditionalism and religious nationalism are both powerless but all too common choices for states in this position.

thats only because the american government knows it won't do any of the sort but cannot trust foreign governments to be equally undemocratic.

It's good to note that the parts of Europe being otherized here are not Belgium or England. They are on the east. Which had always been subject to Orientalism in the first place. Everything from the accusations of slavic byzantinism to the allegations of turkification levied against cultures of the balkans was part and parcel of how Europe (western europe) sees the world: a series of imagined others which exists only as a contrast to itself.

That european identity expands and contracts at will. There are moments when the spanish and the portuguese are regard as too mixed and too arabized to be European. There are moments when Ukrainian-Russians are regarded as western while Russian-Ukrainians are part of the mongol hordes.

in my experience every english speaking r/nationality subreddit is populated mostly by very racist canadians

The context here is that Elon's legal representative has the job of being a scapegoat. They know Elon is gonna continue breaking brazilian law, and so they'll be arrested in his stead. For some reason nobody actually wants that job.

No, from what I'm told its very specifically about a system of item loss upon death / other players can find them / if they do you get them back that Legend of Arceus implemented and which Palworld also uses. Creating the ability to patent troll mechanics that specific would be a bad precedent.

It's a big deal because this is a patent lawsuit, not a copyright infringement suit. Nintendo isn't accusing Palworld of breaching Pokémon aesthetically or whatever. They are accusing Palworld of breaching their patent of a gameplay mechanic.

is this about the Republic of China or the other Republic of China?

I don't get why the guy resists so much. Being banned from the entire world is a face saving measure for him. That way he can say tyranny killed twitter, not his own stupidity.

At this moment I'm able to access twitter without much issue, so it seems the circumventing is working and the government will end up having to do something else in turn.

the reputational risk of exploiting the shit out of russia like IMF does every other place
