   Meanwhile in Japan, the LDP has Go Go dancers at a Party, but the 'reason' is the best joke I have heard for a while:

   'One of the organizers, Tetsuya Kawabata, later sought to defend the event by saying that the presence of the "go-go dancers" were intended to ensure "diversity".'

   Hilarious and sad at the same time 😬

     @Fripi i do have theories why there are these differences (after all, histories are very different of each of these countries, France differs a lot from Germany)
     But like, do japanese people never get angry and fed up? What would happen if they suddenly do vote for another party? Why do they not? Like they do not even experiement or engage.
     And that's why i don't understand. The Apathy.

     @Fripi i know, freaking crazy fundamental asian christian cults 🙈
     But there is still a difference. Korea has developed formalized forms of political protest and people are engaging in it, whereas in Japan seem to me like they just play dead.
     And there is political power shifts through a change of political parties (see picture).
     and a more recent event was the successful impeachment of Park Geun-Hye

     Minoru Saba repeated this.

     @bookstardust well, the reality in Korea is not much better than in Japan though.

     @Fripi japanese politics somehow suddenly feels like a crazy mafia scam.
     And instead of people getting angry, they just act like it didn't happen and give in to even more political apathy.
     And i just can't understand how.
     If the same thing happened in Korea, at least Social Media would blow up (they also would have most likely protest movements on the streets)
