JFL Price of being White-adjacent: get your industries hollowed out and your wealth transferred and stolen by your hegemon whom you love to bootlick.

Here we have US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent openly boasting, without the slightest trace of shame, that Washington views the wealth of its so-called "allies" as nothing more than a piggy bank for American use. In his own words, a sovereign wealth fund would be “directed” at the president’s discretion, siphoned into U.S. factories and used to drag industries back to American soil. Even a Fox News host couldn’t stomach it, branding the scheme “offshore appropriation”, a polite euphemism for outright theft. Let’s be clear: this isn’t diplomacy. It’s raw colonial plunder, looting the treasuries of allies in broad daylight and disguising it as strategy.

And do those do good for business? Do they attract investors? Do they generate anything?. This is the mentality these people have, you cannot reason with them. It's the years of victory euphoria manifesting itself into this, delusions that they're still the strongest economy, society and country in the world.

Their delusion comes from being mentally buck broken. Its a sophisticated variation of stockholm syndrome where your captor and ruler becomes your god.

I agree fully, in the most simple terms. Bitch think. These countries could afford to leverage their positions and broker better deals, yet they don't. And the worst part is this sets a paradigm, for others as well to bend the knee and comply.

Japan did this in the 1980s with the Plaza Accords and got destroyed and now they're going to get destroyed again along with South Korea.

Japan is an exception to the rule, they cannot defy them as they're linked after the war, the whole economy is sitting on a castle of playing cards, and America can always pull the bottom card and make it crash down, easily too.

Its disgusting how much control the Japanese have ceded to America.

They had no choice, either maintain your presence as a sovereign nation or become a puppet state being divided with the victors, getting genocided by the chinese and truly colonized by the americans. It was a stupid stance that Hirohito took to begin with, they had intel on the bombs but underestimated it.

That's why small countries form blocs; its to ward off bigger powers. Japan was too arrogant to pick fights against the Chinese and Koreans.

Arrogant, but understandable, I'd have preferred the japanese domanition of asia, you'll laugh, but I find them less barbaric than the chinese. Even at that point in time.

I'm a weeb, not a sinophile. I am aware no gook looks like that. They tend to idealize their own in paintings or media very much.

I want to believe you're not trying to use that as an insult

It’s just a normal stuff we do here, don’t worry because the two guys I pin are way… let’s say way more critical towards the weeb than me. I get it being young yk, you always had this romanticized feeling of country far away from you especially for japan. The Disneyland of asia

They even had nintendoland nowadays, so hey it’s not me being a racist towards them. They style themself like that, they’ll be viewed in that manner; as a playground

Understood, friend.
