    It's because the US kneecaped their future capitalist development.

      Well, yes, but why seemingly inside the country there is zero opposition. They elect libs fairly consistently, build some trains around and chill, despite very strange working hours :shrug-outta-hecks:

        I dunno. From what I can tell Japan has been shifting further and further right just like everyone else.

          The LDP is shifting to a more moderate position because they are really a multi faction party and they need internal cooperation to maintain their rule. What’s happening is the country is slowly becoming less nationalist again, but with an increase in privatization pushes from the innovation party. The CDP is viewed as useless, which to be fair they are and the Communists are all old boomers who are dying off. Reiwa is an interesting party but they are too small to have any real influence but they would be your socialism for people below the age of 70 or not 35-50 year old men who lost their job in the bubble crash.

        Probably brainwashed. I would look into how Japanese education changed after the US essentially made the entire nation its military base. I would bet there's a slew of smoking guns there
