i don't feel like it's cool to generalize over 100 million people like that. japan has had some serious leftist movements in the past and it does them a disservice to treat the country as a homogeneous entity. feels kind of racist to me
They had some serious leftist movements. Till we paid the yakuza to tear them appart. What is left is both conservative nationalism and marxist egalitarian. That is their default position. Thre same way we are default center right as a people.
i guess that's fair? it's just pretty close rhetoric wise to some stuff that's not.
like, that's the attitude anime chuds have about japan, that the country is all based and trad except for some radical leftists censoring their beloved treats, just from the opposite end.
I am being slightly reductive. The lumpen japanese person has no real coherent political consciousness same as us. There cultural residue just has them skipping the period of social liberalization everyone else in the west got.
Chuds judging what they see in childrens cartoons would see that
Fair critique. I'm perhaps overly defensive cause I see comrades thinking their low level marxism means more than it does. Where in reality it is just cultural differences we can't appreciate

yeah, i don't mean to say that you're as bad as them or anything, i just was trying to explain why your comment rubbed me the wrong way a little
