This is what LKY wrote a lot about. People are ultimately loyal to their tribe over policies. Singapore survives coz it's 70% Chinese. If it was less than that, things would start falling apart real fast. He said it would be better if SG had more Chinese but that's reality so he dealt the best way he could. Maybe it's different now but I believe that in the Singapore army, they did not let Malays handle stuff like artillery or other advance weaponry since they could not be trusted with such important stuff.

Honestly I'm surprised even the west still praises him. By modern western standards he should have been cancelled for racism, Chinese chuvanism and other right wing stuff.

What do you say about Switzerland then? 40% of the people have a migration background, the country is super diverse but still kicking ass in every indicator. Hell, you go to Switzerland from Germany (with an ethnic majority), you feel like you landed in heaven from hell. Although Switzerland feels posh. Its immigrants are posh.

Trump threatens mass firings of federal workers if government shutdown isn’t averted, NBC News reports​

President Donald Trump warned Sunday of widespread layoffs if the federal government shuts down this week, telling NBC News that “we are going to cut a lot of the people that ... we’re able to cut on a permanent basis.”

″[I’d] rather not do that,” he told NBC News in an exclusive interview.

The White House is doubling down on warnings that thousands of government jobs could be on the line if the government shuts down at midnight on Tuesday.

The Trump administration last week told federal agencies to begin preparing for mass firings if Congress does not agree to a deal to avert a shutdown. If the White House follows through on its threat, it would mark a break from precedent, as federal employees are typically furloughed in such cases.

When there was a full government shutdown in 2013, for instance, about 850,000 employees were furloughed, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
The warning of potential mass firings — which was made via a memo released by the Office of Management and Budget — marked a significant escalation of pressure on congressional lawmakers to head off a shutdown.

Still, with less than three days until the government funding deadline, lawmakers remain far apart on negotiations, increasing the chances of a shutdown.

Another flip. From purging the government to not wanting to purge it anymore.

Ah yes Switzerland. The land filled with White Western Europeans who happen to use languages that use the same script and ultimately in the same religion. Totally the definition of diversity and comparable to what Singapore has. /s

And even despite having such similarities, this is how the

. European nations still end up having tensions like Belgium. Or Switzerland itself in the past

Btw this is what happens Switzerland experiences actual diversity:

As for Switzerland being rich, when you think about it, can you even name one western European nation that is objectively poor? Even lazy and more chilled guys like Spain and Italy are considered rich compared to the rest of the world.

The current version of Switzerland has been here since 1848. In the grand scheme of things, its not a very long period. Credit Suisse was born around the same time and now it doesn't exist as a standalone bank. How long it will last has yet to be seen esp when Europe's gravy train build a lot on colonization runs out. In the past we didn't even have a proper nation state identity which is not the same today where people are much more aware of their differences.
