Is Japan realizing they're becoming tools of the
Empire?
Nah, Japan is fucked
No they're just depressed like everybody else and who the fuck wants to do shit like get woken up at 3AM to run laps and constantly be mentally abused when you're depressed
Yeah no way, there's a ton of anti-China and anti-DPRK sentiment among Japanese people and it plays directly into western imperialism
Let's be real, it's anti-korean sentiment.
And the feelings mutual
Younger Japanese people seem like they're into Puppet Korea's kpop and TV shows
That'd because Japan's TV fucking sucks lmao
back over a decade ago when I lived in Japan as part of an exchange program one of the first activities my host family and I did was going to a local natural park with some nice waterfalls. We walked past a bunch of people doing the same thing when my host mother leaned over to me and whispered that there was a group of Chinese people behind us. I literally had no clue how to respond. Even at 17 and my most conservative I just didn't understand what the problem was. For as much as Japan loves using their cultural history with China, they also despise China to a degree that they'll just tell the foreign kid living with them on like their third day living with them with zero shame.
My first trip to Japan I was telling a Japanese person at a bar the places I had been. I mentioned Asakusa in Tokyo. He immediately laughed and said it would be a nice place but there's too many Chinese people always there. I felt stunned too
Not at all. They’re just overworked to death, abused at work, and then go home and get yelled at by the government for not having a family
