Colonial Legacy in Dota 2 in General Discussion
Khéops-

    And what Kotato, you're a highschool history teacher? You make huge assumptions and seem to believe a non-historic theory written by an economics teacher.

    His theory holds no weight and yours even less. Was all this to tell us you read a book?

    Should I teach you how to summarize aswell? ^^
    Shower thoughts can be interesting but no one should take them as bonafide.

      ^why are you so obsessed with history subject (i am in economics)? It is clearly a new institutional economics topic, and I just propose a forum thread for discussion, and your "His theory holds no weight and yours even less" does not contribute to the discussion. Do you know how to argue?

      PS Yes, please teach me how to summarize if you can, because so far your unreadable posts did not provide evidence that you possesses that skill

                I'm british decent at dota and bhs is almost 10k? On a more serious note can confirm are sarcasm levels are on another level most people can't comprehend it tbf, which in turn makes us come across as arseholes. Will agree people from this CIS region are probably the most reliable when it comes to not giving up, some of them can be infuriating but you take the good with the bad.

                      This post is informative, can't deny that. Great if you guys could come to some sort of a conclusion if it's possible.

                        ^sometimes discussion is already good enough, conclusions on internet forums are rarely a nice thing :)

                          There are definitely national stereotypes you come across in Dota. Brits and Germans tend to start all chummy and then explode into toxicity at the first perceived slight or mistake.

                          Russians just tend to have a different playstyle than western Europeans so, if you don't embrace davai! davai! davai!, then of course you hate the Russian side of your team (if you are western European) because you aren't actually playing as a team.

                          Yours, a Brit

                            Kotato you are the most consistent among all of us in the forums for having the worst opinions on anything outside of dota

                                worst opinion? wow, it means a lot to me :D

                                lm ao

                                  Divide and rule was based on making people think stereotypically and being TOXIC, and this practice was continued decades and ages later after the colony becoming a free state. Those countries are still governed on the main principle and population is nothing but a source of money for the elites, but notice: the toxicity is being cultivated even more effectively by degraded educational systems and mass propaganda.... and here we come: the origins of toxicity in dota 2 with respect to colonial past

                                  What the hell is this kind of correlation?

                                  Russians, Peruvians, SEA peoples, they all have their own unique historico-economic circumstances, so creating an overarching theory that explains why these peoples tend to manifest toxicity in online environments is probably going have a less utilitarian approach like the argument you are making in favor of economic determinism.

                                  Russia was never even a colony to begin with. Do you even history? They were tributaries to the Mongols for sure, but the Mongols were not chauvinistic about their own culture and did not impose their culture completly to replace thecultures of those they've conquered. Moreover, the Mongols, unlike the English and the Spanish/Portuguese and the French were not driven to colonialism by the spirit of commercialism. Commercialist cultures often impose their own cultures to their conquered peoples because it was necessary to maximise economic advantage.

                                  I would disagree with your argument applying to SEA peoples. I have experienced the average living standards of both worlds and I am in the authority to explain why the Philippines (the country I live in now) is such a low-trust shithole. People here do not have a united sense of national identity due to the fragmented nature of this country's topography. And what further exacerbates the problem is like what KingY said, authoritarian regimes that drained the shit out of this country. The same could definitely be applied to PEru but what differentiates the circumstance of the Philippines is what I've said earlier and also the varied ethnicities that live in the island that makes things a lot harder for the national government to implement stuff.

                                  I think, a better explanation for this phenomena is that peoples who manifest toxic behavior online tend to come from countries that give no shit about Western sensibilities. Blaming it solely on colonization is a long long shot.

                                      So Mongols did not drain shit-load of money and people from Russia and did not install their institutions (e.g. taxation/courts) in Russia? Wow, please send me reference to this great knowledge of yours because every single document says opposite. You people cannot cite anything to support your arguments – poor educational systems in action i guess
