Fuck any rice imports from China.

Also, it's been interesting watching Ice Poseidon and his band of niggers finally catch some ass whoopings out in Japan. I fucking hate IRL streamers so much.

If only Japanese police were actually interested in violently beating the shit out of all of these animals.

The nip police is so fucking cucked it's insane. They couldn't punch their way out of a wet paper bag.

What cities/towns have you had any interactions with them?

Anyway, people who know: are Japanese smaller cities/towns and countryside worth visiting as a tourist in 2025?

Typical socialism stuff.

Isn't there a lot of socialism in current Japan, despite any attempt to make Japan communist failing?

catch some ass whoopings out in Japan

What'd they do to provoke it? I read it was hitting on some guy's girlfriend.

 

[Silence of the Troons]

I've seen someone say this video was a joke and that he actually paid for his groceries. I could see one of the mystery meat people coming to Japan do this in real life though.

The "DEI" situation is accelerating over there. Seems Reiwa Japan may be getting unrecognizable to Heisei Japan, at exponential pace.

They are probably going to stop DEI but it took very long to implement it and it will most likely take long to get rid of it. But even if Japan stops DEI, that's only 1 problem solved

They are still letting South East asians and chinese into their country. They have giant problems with criminals from Vietnam, China etc. They also have problems with criminal US soldiers in Okinawa. But Japan is very slow when it comes to change.

But Japan is very slow when it comes to change.

I’ve never understood why that is. Is it just the way it’s always been?

Technologically they are able to change fast or at least were able to in the past *cough* fax machines *cough* but when it comes to issues in society it's slow as hell. Idk why that is.

Japanese ways sure have a lot of superstitions about luck.

unlucky numbers:

04 - one way to say it sounds the same as "death"
06 - one way to say it sounds like "suffering"
09 - one way to say it sounds like "agony"
13 - imported from the West, maybe unlucky
33 - maybe unlucky for some reason?
42 - one way to say it sounds like "shi ni" or "to death"
43 - one way to say it sounds like "shi zan" or "stillborn"
44 - double 4 (need I say more?)
45 - can sound like "death and beyond" or something like it

It also should not be too surprising if 46 and 49 can also be "bad", and maybe any other number with a 4, 6, or 9 in it. Also, all that is not even getting into that rokuyo thing: a six-day week with "fortunes" for days. Like "Butsumetsu" ("Buddha destruction") being "bad luck all day", and "Taian" ("great safety") being "good luck all day"...

It must be rather stressful to deal with all that superstition if one takes it seriously.

Yeah it's one of those things where most people don't care anymore.
Just like superstitions in the West like having 13 people at a table, having the bread upside down, walking under a ladder, breaking a glass, etc.

A few decades ago it was common in hotels in the West to not have a room 13, or a flight number 666, or stuff like that. Now most of them do and no one cares.
The same way here apartment numbers often skipped the number 4 in the past, you went from apartment 3 to 5 in a building. Nowadays they don't skip the number anymore and people don't care.

Whether it's a good thing or not is a matter of opinion, but modern life tends to weed out superstitions and occultism from daily life. Far gone is the time where the combination of names would heavily influence if two people would get married depending on if the names became an unlucky or lucky number in their alphanumerology.

Was that a thing in both the West and in Japan?

Why is the girl at 0:20 framing the issue of wearing a skirt or pants as an "LGBTQ" issue? Does she know no women who wear pants and even prefer to do so in their free time?

There are legitimate reasons for girls to want to wear pants, such as practicality (especially in the winter when it's freezing and you might get an UTI) or not wanting to have old men oogle you on your way to school, so I'm sympathetic to school girls who'd like to have the option to choose between skirts and pants. When it comes to boys though, I suspect that the absolute majority of the time, those who'd like to wear skirts would be some kind of AGP crossdressing/troon pervert.

The filth that is pushing for "unisex options" for girls in schools are the same filth that are championing the causes of faggots, trannies and nigger immigrants into Japan.

So yeah, I'd say that characterizing this notion as an LGBTQ issue is appropriate.

It's a repudiation of femininity and therefore we should tar and feather these pieces of shit accordingly.

Kana Shindo, on top of being an absolute smoke show, makes some great points.

Notice how all of the nigger "residents" in Japan were championing the cause of "diversity"...not that I expected any different from these humanoid shitpiles.

I remember that video that Nobita did about the "black people being dangerous for Japan". That was his very best video and he got canceled so hard for it that every single fucking video of his these days just has to have niggers in it spouting their shit.

What the fuck are these niggers even doing in Japan anyway ?

One white pill I took away from the video was Kana talking about how much encouragement she got from regular people who are concerned about the menace that is this LGBT shit.

Granted, the fact that she’s also had to deal with thousands of death threats is disturbing but I have no doubt that there is a massive silent majority which is growing angrier by day.

I dream of a day when all of these freaks and subhumans will be smitten down to the depths of Hell.

Ive skipped so rate me tarded, im going next next month to shinjinku, any tips, I’ve been looking at channels on yt but for folks who’ve worked and lived there. Also out of professional curiosity, what is the healthcare system like?

Typical socialist healthcare system, it's extremely bureaucratic, slow, and costs a lot (on your taxes).
It was made for the primary voting population (very old people, Japan is a gerontocracy), so it's okay for them but it sucks for everyone else.

Only Shinjuku? There are other places in Tokyo that are less overrun with tourists.

I haven't been to Shinjuku much but try Shin-Ōkubo if you like Korean shit and Shinjuku Ni-chōme if you're gay like your avatar.

Two stops away from Shinjuku station it looks like there are two pretty cool retro arcades, Natsuge Mikado and Mikado Game Center, Missed em last time I was there and wanna stop by when I go in about two months. Most arcades in Japan now are crane games and TCG machines, so it's nice to find something a bit older.

Yeah, this is weird. Japan has a huge pedophilia issue, and they love to take upskirt photos of underage girls.

Wouldn't every girl like to prevent it by wearing pants? I'll agree that skirts are cuter. But they're impractical. Why not wear the pants on the way, and change at school?

With Japan's East Asian neighbors getting more attention with these types of work-related incidents, i.e. the many Chinese videos of workers dying to machinery or building collapses, and South Korea's accidents of various types (i.e. airlines, construction and building collapses, boat sinkings, and arson) having more casualties than normal (they even drop artillery on their own people), are these types of industrial accidents rare in Japan, or are they actually more common, and not brought up in the news because companies actively try to cover them up like how China does?
