To those gaijin who consider Japan to be based, we're talking about the same Japan that:
・bans privacy crypto
・removed crypto ATMs for 5 years, only to re-install them with mandatory KYC
・treats pirates and drug users as even worse than Hitler, Napoleon, Stalin, and Mao combined
・embraces SDGs propaganda wherever you go
・has a lethal injection rate of 80%
・has closed down the borders for 2 years and still somehow can't manage to re-open them
・still continues to this day with the covAIDS psyop
・puts you in prison over online insults (but literal herASSment offline is perfectly OK)
・has women-only train carts, but no men-only ones (needed to avoid false accusation)
・absolutely doesn't let you own a gun (but a katana is OK)
・99% of the population wears masks even though it's not required, even if the government requests to not wear them during heat waves
・isn't allowed to have its own proper military, and needs to station Americuck army personnel instead
・destroys competition if it's coming from someone who isn't a government sellout
・the cops locks you up indefinitely until you confess, even if you in reality are completely innocent
・doesn't even hide that company employees are literally wage slaves (most of the time it's clear the moment you read the job opening)
・you're obligated to let government know of literally every single change in your life
・Project Moonshot
Punished Mob

@ryo To be fair the rising Nationalist movement is agitating for kicking America out and I don't particularly care if they don't want waves of migration. Most of the other stuff you mentioned is salient enough in my view

@punishedmob Much of the younger population views Americuck very positively, though views on their army in general (including all age groups) is rather divided.
Some view them as a gift from kami-sama or Daibutsu, some others view them as a cancer that needs to be removed ASAP, and the rest is somewhere inbetween the 2.

And there are political parties calling for the removal of the USSA army, but they're usually small parties that will never have any seats in The Diet anyway.
Maybe they'll get 1 or 2 seats just as a nice gesture, but then all the other politicians just treat them as Rand Paul, so like some weird autist with a tin foil hat somewhere in a corner just "talking shit".

@ryo Sure but those small proportions can balloon to cultural significance over time especially if there is a sudden shift to change the general attitude. It's not magic but it can happen, and I think changes globally are coming let alone in Japan
