> [South Korea, Japan, Singapore] A lot of these nations serve as counter examples to traditional "reddit" or even "HN" orthodoxy on policy
Don't you know those countries don't exist? Whenever a redditor starts talking public policy the discussion is always America vs "the rest of the world", where the rest of the world means Europe. Sometimes they throw in the word "civilized", which is fun. For instance:
"The rest of the world abolished the death penalty."
"The rest of the world tries to rehabilitate criminals instead of punishing them."
"The rest of the world doesn't try to ruin people's lives for using/selling drugs."
So you see, South Korea, Japan and Singapore don't exist!
