    I really have a hate boner for this self felating bullshit.

    I’d love to know what cultural attitudes they assigned to these countries and what arbitrary methods they used to assign them.

    I notice China is the only country that sits outside any other grouping. Probably because they tried to assign it a love for authoritarianism and world domination. Unlike the rational, peace loving western nations.

    Edit: I did some digging and at least one of the three Chinese data gatherers for the latest survey spends some of their time in China. The other two are professors at US universities, so I’m sceptical of their objectivity.

            Apparently Chinese people aren’t into self expression. That’s the complete opposite to my own experiences in China, but I guess this shitty survey must be more correct

              It’s easy! Just define self-expression as believing in western liberal individualist ideology and just like that, the orientals Chinese can’t self-express!

      Westerners never advanced beyond Linnaeus’ division of human “races”, they just give it a new coat of paint every few decades. Of course they can’t say “scheming asiatics” anymore, so they use phrases like “authoritarianism-inclined”. This is just “the researcher’s racist bullshit plotted on a graph”, like about 90% of studies in this field.
