I'm planning on creating an article for my website where I'm going to piss a bunch of weebs off by saying how worship of Japan and Japanese culture is fucking retarded. Because Japan is not that based.
@xianc78@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee As much as I enjoy mocking Worst Korea, most of the South Koreans I've met have been chill. Plus there was Gookanon back on 8chan a few years ago posting about the Megalian shitshow while it was happening. Really it's a bloody miracle Japan hasn't completely succumbed to open, clownworld-style poz given that they were basically made an American vassal state post-WW2. As others have mentioned the gun laws are atrocious and there's a ridiculous number of government annoyances, not to mention Confucian obsession with muh social harmony that would have been ripe for hijacking. There are still based people in Japan at least and with the language barrier + the West going to hell in a handbasket the poz shouldn't seep into Japan too badly God willing.
@xianc78@ArdainianRight@cee > Which will backfire once your government becomes corrupt because nobody will question anything or stand up.
Name one government that isn't corrupt. They're all there for the purpose of corruption!
One day all the people will wake up worldwide, even the Chinese started to get wind of how bad communism is after 72 years of having to live under it. Same shit with the Cubans.
@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee How many Japanese people are waking up though? A lot of westerns are waking up to the fact that all their politicians are puppets. I never hear anything coming from Japan. At least according to James Corbett (who lives in Japan), most Japanese just go with the flow and don't question anything. How many Japanese are even aware what libertarianism is?
At least from what I've heard, most South Koreans are aware that all their politicians are puppets. South Koreans are probably more based than we thought.
Which will backfire once your government becomes corrupt because nobody will question anything or stand up. It's one of the main talking points I plan on including in that article.
@xianc78@cee I mean maybe their more moderate attitude on gay stuff kept them from swinging so hard in the pro-gay direction. But in general Japan has a super-conformist mindset. While wholesome, pro-social messages can be nice because Western culture is that poisoned, the reality is that much of the good cultural production from Japan is downwind of Western classical liberalism allowing for more creativity than they might have had otherwise.
@ArdainianRight@cee Japan has the worst gun control I've seen (outside of countries that ban all fire arms for public use). They literally have government officials interview your family members every few years in order for you to own firearms.
And people forget that Japan was embracing LGBT themes in media long before the west. Lesbians in Sailor Moon immediately comes to mind.
@xianc78@cee I know Japan has a ton of issues. I like Japanese media because it's not poisoned to the extent Western entertainment media is, but Japan has a lot of issues. Not being quite as fucked as the modern West is a low bar.
@cee Japan has a lot of Australia (no offense to you)-tier laws and most of the people there are compliant, unquestioning sheep. And Japan is not the video games and anime wonderland that weebs make it look out to be. That shit is still frowned upon in public just like in the west.
> Japan, just like most other countries in the world has signed the Agenda 21/30 action plan.
Don't forget about the forced SDGs propaganda wherever you go... Loli frog is right about SDGs; it only contributes to their very own extinction (article in Japanese): https://technicalsuwako.moe/blog/sdgs-kiken/
I should also add to the tech illiteracy part that many younger people don't even have a PC, and never even saw one before. They're mostly just smartphone-only users, rather than smartphone-first like how it's the case in most of the rest of the world.
> Guess what, being obsessed with video games and anime in public is still frowned upon in Japan.
It's still a niche, but it's no longer really frowned upon. It used to be awkward to read a manga in a train without a privacy cover to hide the fact you're reading a manga, but nowadays I sometimes even spot people reading a literal Shonen Jump magazine in a crowded train. Hell, even when I'm applying for new projects I get more and more HR staffers to tell me they love the 日常 type anime, and even name a couple the like the most by title. In general, pretty much everything in public is kind of taboo, mostly kept within themselves or among close friends.
> People often forget that Japan was embracing LGBT themes in media long before the west.
There's even a whole genre like TSF (transsexual science fiction). One difference between trannies in eastern and western media is, eastern media are more likely to make them likable, give them a feminine character, and all that, while trannies in western media just can't stop bragging about them being trans while having a rather masculine character.
> On a semi-related note, crypto ATMs are illegal in Japan.
Apparently, they're coming back in Tokyo and Osaka since a few days ago. Although with KYC and other bullshit, because every time the government wants to do something cool, they have to fuck it up hard along the way. Same with "we're going to re-open the country to tourists" YAAAAA... "but only if they fill in mountains of paperwork, are fully lethally injected, strictly follow the pre-planned tour guide whether they like it or not, install Orwellian crapps on their smartphones (if they have no smartphone, they'll just get a rental device), and come from specific countries" GODDAMN!!
@xianc78@ArdainianRight@cee Also, I'm planning on getting a 3D printer when I'm back home again, checking out Amazon Japan they're still fully available, although they're getting more expensive (they used to be around 30,000 yen on average, now you have to be lucky to even find a decent one for 30,000 yen).
Question by the way, what is the average size of a decent shotgun?
@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee I don't know of the top of my head. They usually measure the caliber and not the length of the gun itself. I think the average length of a sawed-off is around 18 inches (the US legal limit last time I checked). A standard shotgun is probably 24 inches, maybe.
@xianc78@ArdainianRight@cee 18 inch is 45.72 in (human readable) centimeters. Damn, all the 3D printers on Amazon Japan are too small then... The largest one being 330×330×400mm, though ironically still cheaper than the smaller ones.
@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee@xianc78 I'd probably do 14 gauge if I was making an improvised firearm but it depends on your ability to obtain / manufacture ammunition
@s8n@ArdainianRight@cee@xianc78 Ammunition would probably have to be manufactured, as you literally can't obtain them here. Otherwise deep frozen peas are quite a decent alternative.
@xianc78@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee Sailor Moon thing is just yuri, people like yuri because it's attractive, not for the sake of pushing shit, Dragon Warrior thing is I think a rumour. You could mention Birdo instead, though making these wierd monsters into trannies feels like they're kinda making fun of them
@applejack@xianc78@ArdainianRight@cee Go is quite a black sheep among the Goolag products, as it's mostly maintained by a community outside of Goolag, and maintained by the very same people who made Unix, Plan9, the original C language, and all the other good stuff.
@applejack@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee My dream game would require scripting for in-game events. If I were to use Love2D (which is powered by Lua) I would have a scripting language running on top another scripting language.
@xianc78@applejack@ArdainianRight@cee As long as you're familiar with programming syntax of something like C, Go, PHP, Python, or similar, you can learn Lua in just 30 minutes. I know that, because I've done that.
@s8n@ArdainianRight@cee@xianc78 The majority who protested never took the lethal injection, but far from everyone who didn't take the lethal injection protested. I didn't attend any of the protests, because I know nothing will change anyway, but Chano-san and loli frog went to multiple of those.
@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee@xianc78 I don't think the majority of japanese who refused the vaccine would protest, they would probably also think the protesters were acting like niggers
Not many, I heard the biggest anti-covAIDS tyranny protests attracted 800 people in Tokyo, let's say around 2000 nationwide, including those of us who never joined or joined at a later time, and excluding the gaijin who also joined in. Which is nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands or even millions (depending on the population size) per country in most other countries.
> How many Japanese are even aware what libertarianism is?
Also not many, though although it excludes many of those who are awake, it also includes the sleepy otaku's which is generally much more libertarian than the rest of Japan. But then again, we never got through the shit most of the rest of the world has gone through, and the masses tend to wake up after tyranny has been completely set up and start suffering under it. South Koreans did got through a lot, and they're so far westernized that South Korea is technically a western country anyway.
@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee@xianc78 I don't know how I will react if the vaccinated actually start to die. On the one hand killing that many people is pretty freaky and I will have problems with those who did it. On the other hand these people really do need to die
@applejack@ArdainianRight@cee@xianc78 Never looked at the D language before. Though I already know C, and the big goal I have is to learn ASSembly, both x86 and ARM, might learn the RISC one (if different from ARM) if some day I get my hands on a RISC-powered computer.
@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee@xianc78 Whenever I try it it just looks and feels like D to me but with a slightly less C like syntax (a bad thing) and annoyances like the unused variable thing that they still wont change or add an option for because they think they know better than you
@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee@s8n I think the intent of the "vaccines" was to roll out their digital ID system and any deaths or sterilizations would just be bonus points for them because they love depopulation.
Any depopulation plan would have to be selective. I doubt the vaccines are made for that.
@xianc78@ArdainianRight@cee What's the difference? Also, you know I don't give a fuck about what's legal and illegal, to me all the government made-up "laws" are illegal anyway.
The easy way around that is by using Fedi and never revealing who you are in real life. But most people are stupid, and sign up for all sorts of disservices that require a phone number, those are the people who are the most vulnerable.
@xianc78@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee Not really. The syntax is C-like, has garbage collection and mechanics for memory-safety, which can be disabled or forced per-block or for the while program, and has meta-programming mechanisms that replace macros that let it use compile-time function execution to generate code, even make utility languages like vibe-d uses for HTML templates, it reads templates from a folder and generates them into code https://vibed.org/docs
@applejack@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee I was going to bring up Tony from Earthbound/Mother 2 and the Magypsies in Mother 3, but I don't think it counts because Itoi is clearly a Japanese commie.
And I just want to make it clear that I DO NOT hate Japan, Japanese people, or Japanese culture. I just don't think we should call Japan "based" because they made some of our favorite video games, TV shows, etc or that they haven't caught on with the modern cancers like we have.
