     @sun@shitposter.world I recently traveled across Japan and I gotta say Tokyo is indeed something completely different.

     @sun@shitposter.world I'm glad I've actually been in rural Japan in Tohoku for a few days and it's quite evident that this is like the real Japan when all the English text suddenly disappears and you see other foreigners and the locals will start giving you the "gaijin stare".

     @observer I mean yes there are those people. The money thing wasn't exactly true until recently, typically Japan had been expensive to live in but the dollar is very good against the yen right now and things are cheap.
     
     There are definitely people that like Japan. There's things to like. A lot of things feel just "normal" not fucked up like the USA is.

     People don't like Japan, people like the fantasy of an alternative to Western civilisation, the advantage of being rich in a poorer country, being special and worshipped due to being White in Asia, easy access to physically small and childlike sexual partners and services, and the freedom that comes from being wealthy in a country with very relaxed rule of law.

     @sun@shitposter.world I do gotta say the "gaijin stare" gets kinda annoying after a while.
     
     I think Japan really is one of the only places in the world where as a white person you can sort of experience similar kind of social tension similar to what it probably feels like for a dark skinned person visiting Europe or something feels like.

     @sun DUDE i just LOVE the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, it’s so DYNAMIC and makes me feel like i’m in one of my favourite ANIME. you should totally come on down to my AirBnB, it’s got TATAMI FLOORING and everything, we can crack open a nice Strong Zero or three and get crazy driving our Mario Carts in Shibuya while in cosplay! and dude, dude, DUDE, we have GOTTA go down to the barcade- listen here, right, it’s a BAR where us ADULTS who do ADULTING can go DRINK. BUT!!!! it’s also an ARCADE like when we were kids, so we can play awesome VIDEO GAMES, without dumb kids bothering us.

     Coming from Europe I found Japan to be the way you describe the USA, at first I blamed it all on Asian culture, but only a part of it is actually the fault of Asian culture, some of it is culture imported from the USA.
     
     Mainly the hyper-capitalist stuff and not caring about people who don't have money. Things like allowing bad chemicals in the foods, allowing companies to do pretty much anything they want to their employees, etc.
     
     Japan does have some earlier European influence and I think then a lot of USA influence after WW2 so its like a mix of both plus Asia.
     
     Weird place, I'm curious to see what will be it's future, it's like a strange experiment, also the fact they have such a high density population and have to import everything, and they have China right there, very strange place.

     You can't really visit China without them registering your passport and recording facial recognition data. This is a problem with other countries. Like Japan, as well, but at least they are democratic and don't violate human rights.

     @lain@lain.com @cell@shitposter.world @rin@post.ebin.club @sun@shitposter.world I prefer to take the travel advice from the Dutch government https://www.nederlandwereldwijd.nl/reisadvies/
     
     Countries like China are yellow because there is a reasonable chance for you to be unlawfully arrested like typical from any authoritarian regime. This is not misinformation.
     
     They have also recently updated this information and given safety warnings for people visiting the USA, specifically if you're transgender you could get in trouble at the border.
     
     Countries like Japan are entirely green with no special risks.

     But, like, really, nobody would care.I don't think that's true at all. China has locked up many foreigners for free speech related reasons. Often professors and journalists.

     @SuperDicq There are definitely ethnic minorities within China, but they're all "Chinese" ethnic minorities, if that makes sense. There will be a greater number of people who speak a local or ethnic dialect or language vs. being biologically an ethnic Chinese vs. Han. And:

     >The Han Chinese represent 91.11% of the population in China and 97% of the population in Taiwan.

     For all intents and purposes China + Taiwan are 100% Han Chinese. @lain @rin @cell @sun @pwm

     @observer@nicecrew.digital Japan has problems too obviously, especially with the yakuza and cops being racist (every country has racist cops btw).
     
     But as far as I know Japan's issues come nowhere close to the scale of China's issues, as China is a country that is currently actively committing genocides and is militarily pressuring independent nations.
     
     And I do believe Japan is a functional democracy. Just because people keep voting for the same party that doesn't mean Japan isn't democratic.

     This is absurd, in Japan you can be arrested indefinitely without reason and without them having to inform anybody at all, not even your embassy, people have died before due to being under arrest for a long time and refused medical visits despite severe illness.
     
     Any Japanese person can provoke you then claim you assaulted them, or straight up make everything up, and there is a high chance you will be arrested simply due to racism, they are brainwashed to think that all foreigners are criminals, and the "justice" system will entirely work against you, including your own lawyer.
     
     Not the mention the human trafficking, sexual assault and harassment, the fact that they blanked ban foreigners and only foreigners from travelling when things like COVID-19 happen, the fact there is mafias in the center of Tokyo that actively victimize foreigners and the police turns a blind eye or straight up support them.
     
     It pisses me off so much to see these Western governments kiss the feet of their enemies.
     
     It isn't even a democracy, the same party has been ruling since 1947 up to today, and these Western governments act as if Japan was Norway, fucking idiots.
     
     Every Western government functionary that lies to their citizens about how safe Japan is, should have their daughters travel alone to Japan.

     @observer@nicecrew.digital And also I don't think a girl traveling to Japan alone is in much danger. I believe it is a very safe country with very low crime rates. Tokyo at night feels like a more safe place to be than Amsterdam for example.

     @observer@nicecrew.digital Being allowed to vote for the president directly is not what defines a functional democracy.
     
     Japan has checks and balances that heavily limit the power of the ruling government and president. That's is what is really important. They actively have to work together with opposition to make laws, etc.
     I believe in Japan and the USA the cops can get away with a lot more than in the EU.That I can probably agree with. But even EU cops are very fucking racist.

     It's not a functional democracy, they don't vote for a president, they vote for a guy who votes for a higher guy who votes for a higher guy all the way to the prime minister, and the system is so corrupt that anybody who is not going to fall in line is just not gonna be allowed to be in politics at all, so it doesn't matter who people vote for, the system dilutes their political will down to zero no matter what.
     
     Yes China is way worse, but you said that the Dutch government said there was risks of going to the USA but then there was no risks mentioned about Japan, which is extremely absurd.
     
     I believe in Japan and the USA the cops can get away with a lot more than in the EU.

     I wouldn't send my daughter to a solo vacation to any metropolitan city but if I had to it would be Madrid or Barcelona, or any other European city with majority white people and Christian values, because in the case anything would happen the other white people would protect her.
     
     In Japan they will walk by as she is being stomped on, not that it would happen in public anyway, she would be drugged and taken to a place where people can't see.

     Barcelona y Madrid están llenas de caribeños y moros. Cada vez se ven menos españoles en las iglesias (los católicos practicantes representan alrededor del 20% de la población) y, desde luego, no son lugares tan seguros en comparación con Japón.

     Yes, I find it amusing that he claims Barcelona and Madrid are places of white people with Christian values when the churches are filled with Hispanic Americans, who are not usually white. In other words, only about 20% of the Spanish population across the country practices Catholicism. Moreover, the number of Muslims (approximately 5% of the population) is increasing daily.
     
     I responded in Spanish because Spain is a country where most people don't even know how to pronounce "Wi-Fi" correctly (this is not a joke, and I'm not just talking about the elderly). In fact, it has the lowest level of English in all of Europe. Therefore, I seriously doubt that this "Christian" speaks Spanish (there is a serious disconnect between his imagination and the reality of the country), and just as he probably hasn't understood anything from my post, neither will any English speaker in Spain.

     My brother in Christ, he clearly hasn't even read the Bible. 2 Kings 2:23-25 literally recounts how God sends a bear to kill 42 children because they called a bald man "bald". I could continue, but I prefer that he reads it himself.
