    But Japan does have a Nazi problem

    funny you mention that, but I've recently learned from my family over in Korea that apparently apparently Jewish education has become a big thing over there. It's more to do with the cultural tradition of scholarship in Korea, which in contemporary times has been perverted into an obsession in forcing your kids to go through academic rigours in order to increase their chance of achieving a desired life as a member of the petite-bourgeoise.

    That said, I find this both hilariously and disturbingly ironic.

      “Jews account for just 0.2 percent of the world’s population, but 23 percent of Nobel Prize winners have been Jewish,” Seoul-based student Choi Jae-young related. “And despite all the time and money we spend on education, only one Korean has ever won a Nobel award. That irks many Koreans. It makes us want to learn Jews’ secrets.”

      This is kind of like Japan's Fugu Plan, where there was an initiative to induce immigration of Jews from Europe and America to Japan, based in part because the Japanese thought the Protocols of the Elders of Zion made the Jews sound impressive.

        That is somehow both cool as hell and also deeply stupid. What the fuck. I'm Jewish and laughing my ass off about this.
