^I saw this channel before, this angle of monetizing his salaryman gloom is brilliant, at this rate the guy is going to rake it in, quit his job soon, live a pleasant life of leisure but keep larping as a miselable sararyman on Youtube, lol.
It's always an adjustment when you go to Asia and everyone has jet black hair and is a bit shorter.
East Asian cities are anthills. The Japanese ones are more orderly, while the Chinese ones are chaotic with escalators that eat people from time to time.
I guess the Irish will fit right in. On the shorter part that is, not the hair.
A Japanese friend says that she is a true patriot and an Abe disciple, likes her as their PM.
She doesn't appear to be mobbed up with the Jews, so I think she'd be better, and I'm no fan of chicks in politics.
Yes
Women should not be in politics
Yeah it's probably one of the hardest places to jump into. The grinding bureaucracy alone turns most people away. The upside is that, like yourself, thousands of westerners are trying to get into Japan to flee their countries madness. They see Japan as a place where one can still eke out a bit of normalcy until this next turning falls into place, and many consultants are specializing in this work. So if you really want to move there, they will find you a way - although most will surely try to convince you that buying an abandoned restaurant in a dead town might be one of the harder options.
If I recall she was brought up in Japan? She definitely speaks native level Japanese. I've seen her videos over the years and they are pretty solid and informative, and I can't recall ever having heard her talk biased. If anything, she is very conservative toward Japanese culture.
Japan's urban decay is different from the west. Instead, there are places where life just seemed to have vanished. Some windows get smashed, and maybe the odd thing gets carried off by bored teenagers or youtubers. But for the most part things just get left behind. Hardly any vandalism, and certainly no intentional destruction. But what she was getting at was that in wealthy urban centers there is now an uptick in things like trash, graffiti, vandalism and other things that are considered socially taboo. Something that most people haven't seen in a very long time, or are more aware of it now because those other things are also present.
Homeless in Japan is very strange. I remember walking around Ueno in the early 2000s and seeing some homeless guys. Their little shanty area was surprisingly tidy and things that scream poverty like decay, trash and graffiti were not present. The friend I was with said that many of those guys were labourers or corporate burnouts who just kind of lost their minds. Since rent is so cheap in Tokyo, it generally wasn't an issue with affordability. There are probably a million people there who get by just working 10-20 hours a week and living cheaply. Big cities in Japan have a harsh reputation for grinding up their workers and those city bums are content with their little shanty village friends and 2L of gut rot.
Poverty is hard to find in Japan, that much is true, since it's also one of the few countries with too much work and a very reasonable cost of living. If one wants out of poverty, they generally just have to show up. The rise of single motherhood is a worrying statistic, as they are the ones that often live in poverty and work at the same time.
The generation being raised by single mothers is the agent for social degradation, It doesn't bode well for the future.
It's still among the lowest in the world, and they are very aware of the issue as they watch the western children raised by single moms struggle to find success. My guess is that it won't get much worse than this in Japan*
*Que salivating divorce law firms from NYC ramping up their 'GIRLLLL BOSS' campaigns in Japan.
I’ve read about countries with too much work (I.e a true labour shortage) in the history books but never observed it in the modern era. I would have to see it with my own eyes to actually believe it.
This has happened many times, although it tends to be more of a local phenomenon in terms of geography and industry rather than a generalized nationwide situation.
I can think of a hypothetical exception.
A woman in politics can get lots of votes from being a woman. If she is used as a pawn and all her decisions are made by men behind the scenes, it would t be an issue. The problem is either these men are Jews or the women is too prideful and makes her own decisions.
I have a feeling that the big scam of the last decade has been the globalist desperation for Japan to finally cough up for those precious 3rd world immigrants. But since Japan's wages have been held pretty low for the past couple decades already, they are in a very good position to tell them to pound sand. Which in turn ramped up the pressure since the globalists are terrified of a 'western' country solving its issues without Infinite Indians as a solution. The irony is that Infinite Indians all over the world have driven down wages and driven up COL to such degrees that much of the west is unaffordable to young people starting out in careers. So again Japan's 'wait and see' strategy has put them ahead - sure the wages are still low but at least they still have a high trust society and a cohesive culture.
