And you hit the nail on the head. If you know basic psychology and how humans work, you can be a hermit, but not your whole life. You need that one person. Japan has a beautiful culture, but how their society is...it's unsustainable. When you get a country on that same wavelength it creates a negative and depressing atmosphere. America is the opposite, people are creating conflict and trying to force a divide to where communication is deadened. Opposites on the spectrum; The East has a family unit, but the lack of communication (my opinion strong belief system) leads to what you see. America has a dead family unit, the worst kind of communication on top of punishing the wrong opinions and the worst being loudest.

Her looks shouldn't matter. That's a shallow observation and bizarre to consider instead of her words.

@syasyaishavingfun To be fair, he likely is Caucasian, the more acceptable exception. Might still be frowned upon, but far more acceptable if dark skin tones because of beauty standards.

@pumpkinspiced Because most Americans are spoiled beyond belief, even those on low-income side. I grew up poor, but I know I lived in luxury compared to many other countries out there. We have far too many entitled youth now it's staggering. Most of the people saying this are kids or college students bombarded with socialist ideology. They see the exaggerated social issues on the news or what drama plays out in school and that's their perception. Until they find out most countries aren't that different and other aspects much worse they didn't expect. Life is what you make of it, there isn't an escape by moving/grass greener.

You don't live over all of Michigan.

Who is investing in this brong pushed? Who is taking the money? You'll find out it you look like we did in the US. Japan might face tarrifs if it keeps going dowh this path, and we know it can't afford it.

@danielwilliams2735 You know, it sounds pretty obvious what you are looking for lol

Japan is mostly right wing, as you put it. Stop trying to apply your perception on them.

@thegamingking3509 You mean most Asian countries. You have no idea what racism is unless in a traditionally racist state. Even then, whole countries are that way if you aren't pale skinned or not their race, their cultural group, speak their dialect.
2
@thegamingking3509 Then you have no experience in other countries. You're delusional if you think others are different. Most of the world is far worse in what they don't like. Canada's Asian population is racist like any other, ive been and know. Not everyone is nice by virtue of location or politics. You really need to get outside the internet or the one place you live if you think the whole country is one way and every else is rainbows and sunshine
2
@thegamingking3509 Okay? Two people out of how many? What race? Where do they live? Who do they interact with? I seriously hope your not trying to say racism doesnt exist in Canada simply because Canada lol! The place that displaced the indigenous groups? And I see you skipped over Asians, especially native, being prejudice. My ex is half and even she faced it from them, if not just for features being unfavorable even among Asians. Racism is related to class more than race. If you're poor and someone is rich, you'll be discriminated against, thus why minorities who are by large on poorer side see it. Racism is far less a problem by large in US compared to most countries. We are a mixing pot while many are not. There are racists in every group, so either let it be the only thing you notice or ignore it in favor of the many who aren't.

@TheNewFakk28 If you plan on living in isolation in Japan, I'd say the rural areas are for you...except they are more prejudice there. So it depends what you're willing to deal with. Peace and quiet is better than constant drama, for sure. Cebu might be best? Every country has a unique problem and ones not realized until moved there for a time. You can move to a place less impacted by the social issues in the states unless you mean overall it's not what you want to deal with. Even Canada, as much as they say it's friendly, really isn't. I've been there several times and it feels the same, the large Asian population you face more prejudice if not the right skin tone or just not Asian/not a poor Asian.
2
@Ricky911_ I've been, it has it's own issues and not as friendly as they say. You guys are trying to legalize bestiality, so that shows something really is going on under the surface up there.

@juelzea8518 What the heck is a latinx? You're butchering their language.
2
@The_name105 They are. They are spouting everything on social media. I'm black and I've encountered racism from different groups and now blacks are just as racist, and other minority groups hide it better. It's just a kid talking before experience comes.

@youngcroissant9589 Don't go telling the truth now
2
@marineboy4181 From your replies to others I knew you'd say something like that. But if you are going to say something like that to a stranger, it shows nativity in thinking things will be better elsewhere based on X. If seeking a relationship and have poor social skills, especially with family, relationships are 10X harder.
2
@marineboy4181 It's not that you get worked up, it's just your emotions are so exposed you can be read like a book. You already told that you have no real family connection, no friends. Psychologically, you're starved for attention and affection and react quickly by being snappy as your defense mechanism. You likely have a big heart, but at the same time, you seem emotionally immature
2
The culture and aesthetics are beautiful, just maybe not the people in ways. Then again, that's most places.
1
@rinrinsparkles1986 Because of racism or because you think minorities can't achieve it? The latter has proved otherwise many times. Social engineering is coming for whites as well and already broken homes, lack of culture and failing education is applied to all and not district lines.
1
@roadsofjapan6009 And you see many Japanese start to talk about the lack of religion and too much superstition and atheism on the society. People pretend Japan is perfect and are ignorant of how broken it has been. Atheism is the religion of authoritarians and Communism, Fascism and Marxism follow. Look at China, N. Korea, parts of Africa, former USSR and now the EU.

This is a really important video and many other of your videos on the realities of the world, in general. I don't think many that are young will still understand, but those about to head into the world or are open-minded this will open their eyes.

For a reason. When liberalism loses control of itself and becomes extreme, yes, the opposite will become rational against confusion and immorality. When one sides pushed for late term abortions even to birth and sexualizing children then things need to change fast.
1
@PAWORDI It's because the mentality is different for one. Materialism is big in Asian countries, so if you're not putting out, you're on the rocks for sure. And I'd say your lucky if you can get in an argument instead of silent treatment/someone being lowkey and downlow. It's odd to say, but one would have a much better chance with someone on the low income side (same for any country) because their head isn't in the clouds. But there might the same prejudices, just depends. And honestly, if most the country has no moral base other than manners and tradition, what do you expect?
1
@darkswords147 It would all come down to how well you speak and understand the language. You might not get certain jobs because a foreigner, but that's always a hard thing to prove. But I'd say you'd be aware if you're being cheated compared to others and be aware of the qualifications of said job.
1
@darkswords147 Of course, that's never going to change no matter what country you go to. The only thing that determines it again like any other place is job demand in that field in a country, in that location/area you move to. If Tokyo, expect it to be just as hard as if in New York or any major city. Second factor is if the employer wants to hire a foreigner over a natural-born unless the job is oriented toward foreigners like foreign language. A lot of people move to Japan with that, or want to do manga; they may work a 9-5 every day trying to achieve that goal or as a side job, so many struggle for the aesthetic of living there. Third is luck and connections, another basic truth in landing certain jobs. I'd imagine unless your career goal is high-income, a job catering toward a foreigner and you realize you might struggle more in different ways than a natural Japanese you have realistic expectations of living there. Some jobs require travel, so they end up going back and forth throughout the year, like a translator. Teaching some do, but again, I don't believe a high paying job so you might need another to supplement. There are places where foreigners live in close proximity, so there are obvious advantageous to that if you don't have connections/friends/family in Japan already. I have an aunt that travels back and forth half the year, but hasn't since the Covid thing started. I'd imagine I'd have the advantage of being hosted/staying with her possibly over funding a trip or finding a place of residence (and deal with housing discrimination of foreigners at the same time).

 @noblesavage8964 DEI is the hiring of unqualified and based primarily on identity. They say it themselves.

@aguacateadosmilpesitos Pretty much. I think the American Dream stemmed from an illusion of vanity in aspects, but it is attractive to those with less. For those already there we barely see it or don't realize the pros and cons of it.

Japan is xenophobic, but nothing should be FORCED on them. That's entirely different. Government and corporations are taking money from foreign entities to push this just like is bring discovered in the US. Its Communism/Marxism designed to cripple nations.

 @SeanFication Prejudice isn't necessary. Reason is. If something is bad, reason will demonstrate why. Prejudice doesn't operate on reading, but good and bad logic of disliking something.

Because it wouldn't be easy. Not all that crossdress agree with the Western application of it as they have a cultural history behind it.

@SparkCroft21 That's the first sign she married him for security and getting dogged by someone else.

@vorynrosethorn903 Your parents did something right.

@neauxmad1048 Had this issue with ex. Only would voice opinion when pushed or in argument, rarely ever normally. Take too much control, you are controlling. Might be Asian thing or cultural passive aggressive nature. Avoid confrontation is a must, no matter how simple.

@menestrello6159 They weren't bored, just hoes lol

@dovahkiinthesardine2559 He meant Japan siding with Germany and their actions during.

The quotas reversed. Once black applications were rejected because they sounded too black. This is true. The same quota of who to hire or that system was dialed up with the cultural shift/revenge. Except it was the same people in charge at the top doing it. It's why it was effective and immediate the change because it already had been done before. What caught many white people off guard, if they were aware, is never thinking it would be used against majority population.
