the spooks a nation hold and diseminate between it's members anon, grab an american and a chinese and they will act different by cultural dissemination alone.

He was talking out of his ass, as usual.

but isn't that just culture? People of the world will sing their national anthems because they're taught to through cultural indoctrination, not necessarily because they have an inherent psychological makeup that predisposes them to such behavior.

He didn't even write it someone else did

Well he was elected into the first soviet government because of that text so clearly he wasn't

As you can see, nobody here actually knows. They're all just winging it. I bet even Felix doesn't know.

Why are you misquoting by adding the inherent here? Do you think having the atom bomb dropped on them had a psychological impact on Japanese people? Is having an atom bomb dropped on you part of Japanese culture?

You didn't notice how people of the same ethnicity/nationality often think the same? Well he means that.

>What exactly does he mean by "psychological make-up" here? Because from where I'm standing, people in the same nation are psychologically very different from one another, as individuals. I cannot imagine a single place on Earth where the individuals are psychologically the same, but maybe "psychological makeup" has some special Marxist-Leninist definition here that I'm not aware of. I'd like better help understanding what Stalin meant by this. Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to help with this.

I mean there are differences that I don’t think extend necessarily to culture so much as a broad psychological makeup, but that might be getting into the weeds too much. Like Americans were considered fairly optimistic as a trend, but though we might call that a “cultural trait” is it in the same category as what’s undeniably cultural works? Music, Art, Poetry, etc.

I think there are certain presumptions in how people express themselves that isn’t necessarily culturally enforced or a strict set of rules, but more something that emerges from a shared social existence. Like I’ve heard people overseas comment that Americans seem way more open to small talk or interested in learning about them.

How is it misquoting? I wasn't intending to quote anyone. It was my sentence I was saying with my own words.

I'm American and I've never been optimistic. Do I lack the American "psychological makeup?"
