Nationalistic Puns

There’s a lot to be said about the Ackermans being the closest to Japanese and being the most overpowered characters in the series who can’t really die. And Ymir waiting for Mikasa, along with the Japanese fanbase fixated/theorizing around Mikasa instead of Eren and Armin suggests to me there might be something to it.

Scholars/professors on Japanese culture have noted how a lot of anime/manga have nationalistic tendencies (highlighting how great Japan/Japanese are, showcasing how beautiful/advanced the country and certain prefectures are/underplaying political and infrastructure weaknesses and failures). Not saying this is necessarily a bad thing, but I wonder if this may have influenced how Yams wanted to end the series and did we see other instances in the series where this theme shows up?

What was your awakening or something?

You guys have a lot of Contempt for Commies or anything with the left when it comes to social issues.

Your views on the world and of how the West lives. Strike me, as viciously extreme and fatalistic.

Having a Homogenous society is what you guys mouth water over.

It's like you guys think the West in the next 70-80 years will cease due to Immigrantion is that correct?

I understand the business plot isn’t free market, rather it’s a corporate totalitarian oligarchy. However I’m not sure if they’re just kleptocrats who pretend to be nationalistic and anti-syndie in order to justify their exploitation of the US, or if they actually care about America. They obviously think very highly of themselves and think that they should rule the US and get to be rich doing it, but do they honestly care about the US like Long and Pelley, or are they just trying to make a buck?

I mean in Europe and oceanian things like Universal healthcare and most of the policies by progressives in the US like Bernie Sanders are considered moderate in lots of European countries and in places like Australia and New Zealand and In these places Bernie is seen as a moderate candidate at best. But why in the US is anything that’s even remotely closely to what Bernie promotes is “communism” or some other random excuse these undereducated red necks don’t understand at all. Also conservatives in Europe don’t seem to form cults of personality around certain politicians. I don’t see Boris Johnson having a cult of personality compared to people like Donald Trump or Mitt Romney who have huge ones. Why do you think it’s so different in these places?

Edit: okay yes I will admit cults of personality and conservatives in Europe aren’t always good, I mean Victor Orban is a great example of a “conservative” politician who’s pretty much just a Nazi and is a huge racist and homophobic individual. He even ruined the healthcare in Hungary. I was mainly referring to Western Europe. Also there’s Boris Johnson but from what I’ve seen aside from his COVID-19 response seems far better then Orban

Hi everyone!

I am currently working on my Bachelor's final thesis, the topic of which is the evolution of the nationalistic bias in rhythmic gymnastics judging since 2005. To complement the statistical analysis I have worked on, I have also created 3 surveys. Two of them have already been sent to gymnasts from different national teams and to international judges. Yet, for the 3rd survey, I need the support of the RG community!

As a result, here I post the link to the survey, which can be answered by any RG fan all over the world :)

Thanks a lot for your help, and do not hesitate to reach out in case you have further questions!

My first reason why yanai made gate the way we know, a propaganda show. Its probably because in his time in the military must have changed him, sounds stupid but i don't really support this opinion either. Second reason why he made gate that way because the JSDF is already being criticized by their own people. He's probably getting them to love their military just a little, considering the fact that light novels, anime, and manga are popular in japan, and could attract the attention of otakus in japan. The third reason is really stupid. After yanai created gate, the japanese government probably bribed some anime studios the turn gate into an anime for we all know, propaganda purposes. Sao satoru on the other hand, might also have been bribed, or maybe he actually liked gate considering the fact that his an gunji ota (Military otaku). If there's something I got wrong, feel free to correct me, but in a much friendlier way.

I read somewhere that during the Islamization of Pakistan, music was banned except for patriotic music or religious music. How true is this, for those who remember?

Just from my very small sample of my friends, people seem prouder to be Australian now than before the pandemic, likely due to how well we’re fairing with the virus. Could be relative to location, I suspect melb is more annoyed than syd, Thoughts?

I've been thinking about this for a while

It seems that people only care about ethical working conditions and pay, when it’s for people in their own country. They’re still supporting underpaid labour but just in a different country. And although you can pin this on capitalism and the companies that use foreign labour, they’re a business, and if there actually existed a demand for fairly payed labour a business would do it and market the production of their products as such and up the price accordingly, but they don’t. Like the dissonance between how we value a fellow compatriot above some Chinese kid disgusts me. If it turned out that all the foreign labour wasn’t actually foreign, and it was just a bunch of kids in Walmart’s basement, only then would people start caring.

I should add "and only them" , but I understand that it would be difficult and that's why it should be a song that would make only your nation stand up and dance/participate with noy many other nations/ethnicities.

For Greeks, it would be D-Devils - Dance With The Devil. The moment the first note plays, everyone would be on their feet and ready to "fight". But I guess a lot of Serbians would do the same.

So, whats yours?

Hello brothers, Can you recommend me some extremely nationalistic songs from your country?
