A "diverse" country simply means the natural owners of that place have been invaded and are losing territory to outsiders. In this example a group of Chinese have colonised a city block and made it their own. Just because you live in a propaganda bubble where you believe a lie doesn't change these basic facts. Foreigners taking territory is an invasion, and the media being controlled by said foreigners for the last 100 years tells you it's natural and a good thing. Because they're also invaders who are grabbing land while making you refuse to fight them because you're so brain washed.

But you explain things so colorful and comprehensible and well compacted, just love to listen to your videos. Plus: I discover everytime something I didn't know that much - or just don't remember in detail. You should do this full-time. I mean explaining things. Maybe some trivial stuff, too, like making a sandwich (or "sudo making a sandwich"). Would be interesting. Thank you VERY sincerely for your work, I know how MUCH work that is to compile information in that amount. Big respect. Thankx again & don't forget your knee pads!

Implying that everywhere is as bad as MC1 but that is the case. You said yourself that Hondo City is far more advanced. And in Luxor, people stil shop in their local bazaar. And in Murphyville, Emerald Isle, the Judges are sometimes known to drink Guinness with the citizens in a local bar. Even Cuidad Barranquilla, despite it's corruption, has lush greenery and beautiful seafronts. And Vatican City, as the name implies, is a theocracy.

      It'd help a lot of people, certainly, but there'd be a lot of pushback based on a few factors. Does eating too many donuts qualify as freedom of expression? What do people get to eat, and how much of it do they get? Because "food deserts" force a lot of people to eat unhealthy food, what kind of logistical structure would we need to get overweight people the healthy food? Perhaps most importantly, what kind of surveillance-state foolishness would we need to ensure that people weren't smuggling Oreos or something? ("Looks like you've got a stash of potato salad.
