There are several issues here. They are pushing Japan to accept dirt world immigrants, which would be a mistake. Unfortunately, some have been admitted, with predictable results.
As a separate topic, Japan probably has very little urban decay, and very few Japanese trash living in poverty and squalor. However, I suspect there is at least some poverty and squalor at least somewhere, dating back before any dirt world immigrants arrived.
I doubt anyone visiting Japan would come across this poverty and squalor unless they really look for it, which few would do.
I think the person who made this video wanted to find the rare instances of squalor, and made a video about it. That's basically what the comments to this video are saying.
If Japan keeps allowing dirt world immigrants, I'm sure that squalor will soon become much more widespread.
I jumped the gun a little with my first comment, my apologies, but what I was trying to convey is still valid.
Immigration is a hot button issue, especially due to the deteriorating conditions. This woman [at the end] says she doesn't want to point any fingers, essentially covering for migrants. She presents various issues like they're major flaws with Japan, while saying Japan is overromanticized [which is true]. She does it in a way that subliminally blames the Japanese, like they're losing it. I can only interpret the video as being in bad faith, which is par for the course with leftist expats.
She complains about the graffiti. Like I mentioned earlier I've only seen graffiti in cities with substantial immigrants. I'm no expert on Japanese graffiti but what she shows is very abnormal compared to the rest of Japan. The Japan I've seen is still very stereotypical. Orderly, clean, taking pride in appearance, shy, etc.
It's very disingenuous [in my eyes] to present Japan like it's experiencing extreme moral decay. It is decaying no doubt, but not to the point where Japanese people are throwing garbage on the street.
She also brings up very niche well known issues. She brings up the prostitutes lining a single street, and a tiny place nearby where homeless kids hang out. This has nothing to do with Japan, it's literally some local trivia for that particular neighborhood.
For full disclosure, I didn't like Japan. Didn't like how I was treated, didn't like how everything is set up, didn't like their attitude and overall felt like that part in an RPG where you walk into a town and everyone is acting weird, like under a spell. It's visually gorgeous, it's clean, functional and quite interesting but the other stuff wore me down.
So unless someone want to prove otherwise, don't believe this video insinuating that Japanese people are living like pigs now and the government doesn't care. These leftists pull the same deflections in the west too when it comes migrants.
