Chinese people and the concept of embarrassment? That's face culture.

Vladimir Putin doesn't like being couped? That's Stalinist mentality.

    Corruption. Especially when applied to colonised peoples or AES nations. Pretty much everyone but the most deluded westoids will complain at length about corruption in their own governments, then promptly turn around gand give this as evidence why us-foreign-policy deserve to be glassed from space.

      In [poor African country], paying bribes is a way of life.

      Weird they never talk about the Dutch and British mining companies paying those bribes. It’s not a wealthy white rentier colonialist problem, it’s an African problem.
