They make it sound like Japan is number 2 highest in the world for suicide and SK is number one. Reality is that New Zealand is the highest, with Japan being number 84. You wanna know why the WHO is trying to push this "Japan is unhappy and no babies and no sex0rs"? It's because their "solution" is to inject diversity and migrant workers and basically make it into the newest Israeli vassal state as always. "Oh Japan isn't having babies so they need ****lians to help the population, also lets start publishing gov documents in ****lian to help them" GTFOOH
You are right. Alot of the **** i read watched about Japan has been very negative and off putting but #84 is not bad imo. Still havent convinced me to want to live there but atleast my thoughts about Japan are not as bad as it was before this thread.

This lol he comes off like he knows wtf he talking about but then some **** he writes gives me the idea that he has been there for a week a vacation and made up his mind.

We can agree to disagree though.
Fair assumption on comparison benchmark.


But again I never said it was better than the USA. In fact, I stressed the fact of suicide rates, conformity and work hours.


However, there is a wildcard. I have a friend who is a private school teacher and working hours are good (because he is white and the international school follows a british curriculum) and his kid gets free tuition covered. So there is some leeway depending on a few factors.

Agreed OP. Japan was wonderful I was supposed to go again last year during the Olympics but we all know how that ended up.
I feel all of this when I go to Korea for the most part as well.

What makes people think two races can't work together? Whites, Blacks, & Asians all get along in the U.S. for the most part. The downsides are when systematic racism comes into play and destroys communities.

The whites want superiority, not equality. They view equality as not working for them

But on the good side of things, i would have felt 100% safe and secure with letting my 9 year old daughter walk alone in Tokyo at night. Its crazy safe.

The people i felt were pretty bland and were all extremely similar and off-putting. The way i described Tokyo was New York but with zero crime, cleaner, and less interesting people. At the time i thought I would prefer to live in NYC because it definitely seemed like a more interesting place to be on a day-to-day basis. But with how everything has shaken out over the last couple years I would choose Japan over pretty much any place in the US currently.
Exactly my thoughts when I visited.

It seemed like its technological heyday was a couple of decades ago - it would have seemed amazing then but it's relatively ordinary now.

Orderly is a word I would use to not just describe the country but also the people.

I also considered the dullness of the people when thinking about living there.

Overall it was a lot more western than i was hoping for, for holiday purposes as i like seeing cultural differences etc. I guess it's part and parcel with affluent countries.

The thread isn't about how Japan sucks. Which it does in many ways. The thread is about how the US is fuking chit compared to it and maybe even to half of Europe. Like seriously the place fuking sucks.

Japan is falling behind technologically because they stopped innovating and all the boomers refuse to let younger people implement an idea. Their work culture is too regimented to allow anyone to invent something that succeeds worldwide since the 90's which ironically is wy they were doing well.

Japan culture has come to the US with incel and anime culture

Also the US is globohomo headquarters and the cities are trashy

USA was the goat up until around 9/11 and after 2012 it was a steep decline into a dystopia. All by design of course.

I work for a Japanese company and have met many and they are very honorable and respectable people. How you present yourself and being an honorable person is at the top of their list. Not being a dirtbag is also one of the basics. You better be a man of your word or rope. They aren't perfect. Strong narccisim which actually fuels this "be a stellar person" thing.

What kills me about our culture is we blame poverty on bad behavior which doesn't make sense because it cost nothing to be a decent person. Look at BLM as a prime example. I have met people who have been through umimaginable hardships, such as actual concentration camps (both Jewish and Bosnian) and they are some of the most humble, sweetest people I've ever met so the argument they have had a hard life doesn't wash.

American has a higher suicide rate than Japan. American men have a higher suicide rate than Japanese men!

If "we" as a whole wanted superiority, there would be no reality where a sp00k like you gets on the internet and flaps his man pleasers. You'd be in the field.

Every group on earth wants superiority at some level. The only reason people are alive today is because at some point in their past they had ancestors who fought someone and won. Every special interest group is vested in some sort of superiority. Ironically enough, whites are probably the most divided on this because they have such a high percentage of self-loathers.

Like many places, it seems to be great in small doses. If I had serious wealth, I’d probably have penthouse apartments in a few cities, ski lodges in the mountains, resort mansions on various coasts, villas & vineyards near quaint European villages, and a few properties in quiet parts of Japan. I’d never stay in one place for more than a few months.

You think USA culture is going off the rails the Japanese is worse 100x. You have guys having gfs on their keychains, vr porn, used panty vending machines, paying for cuddling, i could go on and on about weird **** that trumps anything we have here in USA.

If op made a thread about Norway or Sweden then id give him benefit of the doubt but theres way too many negative things going for Japan to even consider it a great place to live as a citizen born there.
The Japs are just 20 years ahead of the USA in terms of development. You think we wont be marying holograms in 15 years and doing all that weird chit? Wtf you think Onlyfans is??!
Of course we will

Bumping because today I really strongly hate being stuck in this empty shell of what used to be a nation. If it wasn't obvious before that the kunts at the agencies are in the pockets of the soviets it should be now.

Ad soon as my dad kicks the buckets I'm out of this ****ing place.

Now I'm trying to convince her why we need to GTFO without sounding like I've got a ton foil hat wrapped around my head. She's not very versed in history or politics so explaining to her how were in early stages of the same Muppet show my parents ran from in south America is a pain.

a big part is probably because it is ethnically/culturally homogenous. people understand each other and hold each other to universal cultural norms. the problem occurs when I have a completely opposite idea of what is right and virtuous from you and we have to live in close proximity.

I'm married with a kid now but my original plan was just to go to Japan and fuk some of their women. Same goes for China, Korea, Vietnam, And Singapore. Spread my seeds all over ya know?

Then from there, it was to go to the European countries and further plant my DNA in their soil....haven't come up with a plan to convince the wife to let me continue on with my life goals though.

I give zero fuks about living out in any of those places though. Cultures wack asf. Jaded people asf. Fake people asf. Just everything is fukked brah. Not being overly negative either.

Your home country isn't bad if you don't live in a ghetto or 3rd world country type environment. I live in the US and I'm living good.

If I wasn't married and had a kid, I technically could or well before Rona, I could of been like BRB gonna go on a short holiday to smash Asian women in another country while living like a king. Or BRB gonna go to this touristy part of Europe and enjoy all of their delicacies and smash some of their women's.

Grass is greener type bullchit always cracks me up, especially about Japan. It's fukked in so many other ways like everywhere else.

Reporting in to say that the US is still getting worse, and I still want to move to japan. Drag queen story time and rainbows everywhere has half convinced the wife to pull the trigger on it.

White people being so terrified of being perceived as racist/sexist/*ist that they’ll ruin each other’s lives over the slightest infraction is the greatest entertainment of our time.

If your politics involves anything other than the words "Don't Tread on Me", you're part of the problem - "left" or "right".
