The funny thing to me about all the restrictions on the Japanese is they seemed so unnecessary. Growing up way past WWII, my only impression of them is they are super nice, the most polite people in the world. I know the "Goddamn Japs," as my grandfather called them, were bloodthirsty tyrants, warmongering, torturing, conquering, but it seems impossible they could ever revert back to that.

The Germans, on the other hand...
As someone living in Japan and having been to Germany alot as well, no the Germans do not have it in them, Japanese people do.
 
Star Trek was written by communists and had the first interracial kiss on TV.

Star Trek was always on the vanguard of liberal entertainment. What happened was the rise of the libtards in the 1990s. Liberals and libtards both have had silly, pie-in-the-sky ideas about how society should work, but liberals were often smart, interesting, and creative, which made up for it when it came to good TV. Libtards are stupid, boring, dullards, which is why everything they make sucks.

Germans and Japanese are cut from a similar cloth, that obsession with rules and efficiency and order that makes them so polite gives way to extremism and brutality when it's part of the system they're devoted to, and they don't really try to steer the forces that cause these eruptions so they can happen in retarded ways

I think the big difference is that the Germans were a known quantity with a very Prussian undertone in their nation and at the end of WWII they'd effectively started three major wars in seventy years, from the Franco-Prussian war to the two World Wars that effectively killed the cream of European youth. Modern Euros being kinda pussies is likely directly related to the ones with balls dying in trenches and because they were power walked into machine guns. They'll revert the mean eventually, but that takes time they might not have.

The Japanese, on the other hand, had never had someone actually beat them on their own turf. Sure, they'd lost an invasion of Korea or two in the past, but modernized Japan had beaten everyone they seriously fought. No one knew how they'd react, whether they'd go full on revanchist or not. Turns out they reacted like the rival in a shounen anime, America beat them, allowed them to retain their culture, which is the smartest thing MacArthur ever did, now we're friends forever. And while what Imperial Japan did to the Chinese is horrifying, look at how the Chinese act towards each other. The Japanese treated the Koreans better, but I'm convinced part of why Japan treated the Chinese like subhumans is because they had a front row seat to the bugmen treating each other like bugmen. Kinda like how exposure to streetshitters is slowly Making Open Racism Great Again.

Wasnt Obama’s approval rating in the low 40s-high 30s in his last years?
Idk the exact figures but it tanked after Obamacare.

Imagine that there are retards running around thinking that helped because they never had a job with employer sponsored healthcare BEFORE it

And remember, they wanted medicare for all at the time, so part of why Obamacare sucks so fucking bad was intended to make you more receptive to medicare for all
 
What I don't get is that he's a Gen X'er that grew up during the cold war, he SHOULD understand why this is bad. And what's sad about it is there are many others like him. It's a bit concerning how many people are politically involved yet have no understanding of foreign policy/geopolitics.
If you understood geopolitics then you would understand that the US has no allies. Whether it's through no fault of our own or it's absolutely 1010% our fault, we have no allies. The only allies the US has are vassal states that are essentially our slaves like Japan. Canada is not our ally. They've been screwing us in taxes so badly, Trudeau himself does not believe Canada can remain a country if they received equivalent taxes from the US and said so to Trump. That is how bad they were mooching off of us while cozying up to China, ideal government according to Trudeau.

You think Mexico is our ally? Fuck no. Before Sheinbaum, who has challenged Trump every step of the way btw, Former President Obrador was very vocal about the US. He absolutely wanted to (and did) fuck us over and screw us every which way he possibly could. He despised the US with a burning hatred and was more than happy to dump the world's cavalcade of fucking criminals through the Southern border. Remember, none of this Open Border shit happened with Mexico helping them.

You think the EU is our ally? Nigga, half the EU is responsible for our woke garbage. Every horrible thing the Biden Administration tried to implement here was at the behest of European oligarchs. Everything awful that Biden tried to do was brought over here from Europe where "Globohomo You Will Own Nothing And Be Happy" was tried, tested, and implemented. Majority of the WEF are all Eurofags. Trump wasn't wrong when he said the EU was created to fuck us over. Sure these countries don't always move in lock-step and it's not a monolith, but the general sentiment of fucking over the US is the same. We lost so much money to VAT it's not even comprehensible. We're only giving money and weapons to Ukraine at their behest because America is their mercenary army. That's not to mention the people, who are some of the most pompous faggots I've ever seen and despise America with a burning passion. They're all midwits at best but claim superiority like it's no tomorrow. They're some of the most stuck up people on the planet who pride themselves on being superior to Americans and look at us like we're friggin donkeys. So I'm perfectly fine if Putin invades and kills millions of them. Why do you think I should want to defend people who hate us?

Australia is no better. They're the testing ground for the Globohomo shit they try to push everywhere else. They were building concentration camps for unvaxxed and were pushing the US to do the same. They're the EUs vassal state and are somehow even more insufferable.

Almost all of the South American countries aren't really allies to the US. South America was China's playground for testing communism for over half a century. It was where Mao Zedong sent all of his personally raised disciples to go and create totalitarian governments all throughout the continent. Some of which were very successful. The politicians the Communist Regimes raised over there never went away though. They all grew up and got into government today. That relationship with China never ended. Why do you think South America was so into the Belt and Road initiative?

The Philippines hate dealing with us. Dueterte said it himself. Dealing with us is horrible because every 4 years we'll go through a regime change and he won't operate like that. India backstabbed the US by dabbling in BRICS and flooding us with H1B and implementing the caste system in the US. They successfully pozzed the EU with caste system bullshit. They stole our entire service industry and cost the US countless jobs. Many of which belonged to people I personally knew. The Saudis laughed Biden out of the room and gave him the middle finger on OPEC. Africa, well fuck what haven't we done to earn most of Africa's ire?

South Korea and Taiwan are only our friends because they want to maintain sovereignty and are convenient to us. They still fuck us over every chance they get while using us as a mercenary army. They're still essentially vassal states though or are in the process of becoming them. That's the closest thing we have to actual allies though. South Korea is also worst Korea for a damn good reason. Also, do I need to explain why the Middle East aren't our allies?

So tell me, where are all these great US allies? If they're not trying undermine us, steal our jobs, or actively rob us blind, then they're cozying up to our greatest enemies. The people are no better. Most of the world hates us. We've burned pretty much every bridge there is. So I don't understand why you're so hellbent on protecting people who actively cheered for our demise during the Biden Administration.

The second Pearl Harbor happened, the integrated Japanese immigrants IMMEDIATELY turned on America when provided even a modicum of pressure to do so. The first example was the Niihau incident, where a crash landed Jap fighter from the Pearl Harbor attack was able to convince two Japanese immigrants to rise up against the Hawaiians that had helped him and were awaiting help from the authorities.

Apparently while this was the only open incident, the studies they did showed that basically all first generation Japanese immigrants would turn on the US with little to no hesitation if they were told that Japan needed them to. Since the US was now at war, they didn't have the luxury of finding out who was or wasn't loyal to their home country.
Japanese interment camp seems pretty logical now.

Despite what Progressives would tell you, the people of the past didn't just do stuff the Progressives disagree with because they were irrational stupid racists. The camps made COMPLETE logical sense. The alternative would have been fighting WW2 while dealing with the threat of constant spying and terror attacks from Japanese Americans. In a more brutal era, there would have been no camps, the government would have just shot them all just to be safe.
 
Just a reminder in case anyone takes Newsom seriously about his "no boys in girls sports" lie, his wife founded an organization that shows films in schools that "are saturated with images lifted directly from pornographic websites, their URLs visible onscreen," while also promoting gender ideology and American self-hate. His supposed new centrist viewpoint is a sham.
 
The Japanese treated the Koreans better, but I'm convinced part of why Japan treated the Chinese like subhumans is because they had a front row seat to the bugmen treating each other like bugmen.

The Japanese viewed the Koreans as somewhat closer to them and almost had a kind of respect for them.

The Chinese however were viewed as sub-human so the Rape of Nanking was able to be openly reported on in Japanese newspapers as a righteous military action with the running personal kill totals for two generals who were having a competition being published daily.

Unit 731 was memory-holed by the country even though the stuff that happened there was arguably worse than what happened in the German concentration camps. An entire facility full of people as bad if not worse than Mengle who seemed to just be trying to one-up each other on the cruel shit they could dream up and they didn't feel the slightest bit of remorse because they weren't harming what they would consider to be humans.

The weird thing is when they did it to maoists they were right

Like Lenin, they refused to help their country fight off the attackers and used the fact that honorable men were busy fighting to allow them the cover to begin seizing control.

The Maoists would go on to kill 60,000,000 of their own people and destroy even their souls through one of history’s most extensive buckbreaking campaigns

This resulted in the IRL Fallout faction of retarded mutants existing in post apocalyptic pollution that comprise mainland Chinese today

“Colonel PuPu Pai Gao, shouldn’t we save the women of Nanking from this barbarism?”

-SLAP-

“No, idiot. We stay in these hills and let the loyalists do it”

Libertarianism in America is dead, the LP withdrew their candidate against Trump taking away any credibility they had as an anti establishment party and for what to free one guy who sold drugs online.

Libertarianism in general is dying, as trust erodes in society it is being shown more and more you just need a heavy hand to keep order as seen by Bukele in El Salvador. Economically the modern economy is just more complicated and needs more planning and more things investors can take as given which needs to be guaranteed by the state.

China did everything every libertarian economist swore up and down would not work and guess what it worked great.
Trump killed the LP the first time around, look at the number of votes from 2012 to now, it's insane, especially considering how divisive all the mainstream candidates have been, even among their own parties. The problem is that the divisiveness of Trump was actually a draw to a lot of the Libertarians and it gutted them while at the same time not gaining anybody who was turned off by any candidates. A super unique situation that also happened to kill the party. Libertarian+ vs. Mises caucus was a death rattle and nothing more.

I mean I don't know whether this applies to US president bullshit, but its good to know that every document I have signed by copy/pasting my signature onto it as a PDF is now legally void?

The idea that "pasted signatures invalidate legal documents" is pretty ludicrous depending on the circumstances.

edit: I guess the political morons on twitter really don't even do basic research when they make claims:

When Andrew Jackson became President there was a backlog of something like 10,000 land grants awaiting the signature of the President. Each one, individually. I've read anecdotes that claim the vast majority of Jackson's time in the White House was spent personally signing those things and is why so many are available for collectors today. Maybe 3-4 hours every single day of his presidency.
 
Ahhhhhh, isn't it so nice how our immigrants and their children assimilate and join up with the US military?


Why the fuck aren't we charging these fucks with treason and locking them up for the rest of their natural lives?
Why lock them up? Execute them. I don't want more of my taxes wasted keeping some traitors alive.

I am not pro Japanese camps or anything, but given the time and fears it was something I'm not surprised happened. You had an entire culture and nation who viewed their emperor as a literal god. I don't think people can fully comprehend that today. Islamic terror is a close analog, but it's still not the same. We have the benefit of modern surveillance technology to help stop those attacks and even then many still occur. Japanese culture was fanatical about the emperor. It was an entire country and closed culture of it. Not just a religion where many different sub groups exist and teachings, where national identity is also not tied into it. You had the worst of both worlds. A suicidal religious cult of a false god emperor combined with that being the national identity and culture.

There would have been attacks and frankly a lot of innocent Japanese Americans would probably have been killed in retaliation by police and citizens. I think the really awful thing is when the people finally were allowed out, their homes and businesses were in many cases gone. The government made a lot of controversial decisions, and it's easy to judge them now, but if you're going to keep a lot of people locked up for national security the least you could do is make sure they still have their homes or business when they get out.

As they say, it was a different time. It's hard to judge it very harshly, I think with modern technology it wouldn't have happened.

I know you don't want to hear this but Trump is the last thing America needs. We don't need a boomer blustering loudmouth with all bark and no bite

I know you won't want to hear this but America needs a Xi Jing Ping, obviously not Xi Jing Ping himself or even someone with his ideology I mean someone with his temperament. America needs a quiet reformer who makes things happen and is an informed technocrat who dos the work to make the small but meaningful reforms.
Quiet reform won’t work in the US. It’s not very American. Cooperation doesn’t either as seen in 2016.
