... by American standards, are well to the left on the political spectrum.
Never miss an opportunity to red bait lol.
I'm sure you can selectively do your own googling and find some US site that ranks murica 1st.
Not that it matters, America is always #1 on everything, amiright?
I think you've completely missed my point. Sure, a different group with different political leanings would produce different rankings that reflected their different opinions. But that would still just be the opinions of some person or group of people.
If you want to make an argument that this or that country's government is bad, "because the opinions of some group that rates them said so" is intrinsically a very weak argument. It doesn't matter what group or what they call their ratings. Citing someone else's opinion is a very weak argument, unless you're merely arguing about what some particular person's opinion is.
Speaking of missing points...
My post about Canada being #5 was merely reacting half jokingly. when someone else brought up the Democracy index. The fact that I quoted them should have been a clue that I didn't introduce the subject nor was I promoting as some ultimate sceintific measurement.
You're the one who went all Capatain Obvious with a dash of The Dude pointing out that "it's just like an opinion, man." Yeah, no shit.
The fact that you take things like that so seriously that you want to examine data and methodology and bring left v right politics into it is frankly, concerning.
And my quoting the Democracy Index was simply to highlight how vastly different the governments of S. Korea and China work.
I wasn't sure why there was any quibbling about the Index. Is someone really going to argue China doesn't have an authoritarian government? Is someone going to argue South Korea doesn't have a democratic one?
It isn't a matter of opinion at all to claim those two items. It's a matter of reality.
They made the same decision, stating the same things, about the same types of games.
[...]
So strange seeing gamers so anti gamer empowerment.
Watch they are gonna keep doing it.
They made the same decision so they are the same?
Syllogism + amalgam
Thank you.
BTW, AFAIK South Korea is everything but a country against gamers? Isn't it the exact opposite? Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have read in various places on the net, SK has a strong online gaming culture and an overly active Esport community. I even remember a SK politician depicting himself as a gamer in order to get votes. You do not see this in many countries.
However China indeed took strong decisions against gaming especially by limiting gaming time of its minors.
So how can you put both countries in the same bag?
And the fact that two totally different countries in regard to their government system and their gaming culture reach the same result regarding crypto-gaming should raise some kind of red flag don't you think?
I like this move on the part of South Korea; however, they also gave us K-pop so on the whole South Korea's contribution to the world is a wash.
The West gave us Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Manudo, Boyz2Men, and a string of other schlock. Something something glass houses and throwing stones.
Hey now!!!!! The Biebs is Canadian. We are talking countries and music genres not regions and specific acts!
I think the correct analogy is that America gave us Rock and Roll, Jazz, Swing, Country, The Blues and Rap
But... yeah... I get your point
So Canada is not part of the West? Good to know.

Many people moved from my country to US when I was a kid. They threw massive goodbye parties and everyone was like well done. Then there were some unfortunate bastards who moved to Canada. No parties. And people were like why what went wrong?

England has given us many great bands. Then X Factor came along and balanced everything to null. Americans are already lost to us, doesn't matter what you do anymore. But the fucking X Factor.
