   @mangeurdenuage The thing about "successful" is that it depends on the goals of the people measuring it and which measurements they choose to use. The US Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve seem to think they're being really successful at running the economy, and are puzzled that most US-ians don't agree.

     @Hoss @Nudhul @asa @kaia To quote someone I don't recall "Japan has every reason to fail economically but it doesn't, while the USA has every reason to have a successful economy but doesn't".

     It seems like the work culture in Japan has a completely inverted set of problems to the West. Where here everybody hops from company to company because there's little-to-no reward to stick with any single employer longer than a couple years, in Japan it's expected that whichever megacorp recruits you out of school will own you for life.

     @asa @kaia when i was on parler before it ran out of peter thiel money i followed a jap dude who said much the same things you do. no matter what happens, dont rock the boat. that is the mentality of the average japanese person. he was an outcast and a maverick and most people thought of him as a crazy old man, but he was oddly accepting of that. he hated that he was regarded that way and how servile the people were around him but he wasnt going to stop speaking his mind for any reason and if that meant he was the kookey old timer then so be itn
     
     i sometimes wonder what hes up to these days.

     @kaia no way out.
     
     They are content with the fact that everyone around them is also living a shit life, and as much as they hate their lives they will attack anybody that offers them an alternative.
     
     They prefer safety to freedom. Even if safety means slavery.
     
     And the ones that want to escape, usually young outcasts or normies living in the fringe of normiecy, they have a mountain of effort in front of them, given the fact that they can’t speak any foreign language and are barely capable of interacting with foreigners without physically shaking. On top of that their education system and society is all theatrical and about submission and not rocking the boat, meaning they don’t have skills to compete in other countries labor markets.
     
     The only ones that can escape are the very privileged ones that have worldly westernized parents, often wealthy too, but those already have decent lives anyway.

     Most of the people I have met in Japan have no partner or children and never will, have no real friends, no free time and not much money.
     Most are addicted to something that sucks all of their money, pachinko, prostitution, gacha games, expensive clothes that they get to wear once a month, host clubs, girlfriends and boyfriends for rent.
     Many of them are extreme alcoholics.
     
     God has abandoned this place.
