Japan's attitude towards America?

[Sava]

see, this is why you shouldn't be a socialist

because the dumbasses don't know wtf you really are

to them everyone is a pinkocommietraitor

[StarLightDeath]

Either way you are a socialist which means you are a weak minded individual who prefers to rely on the saftey net of other people's money. I despise you.

By the way Sava, good job on the edit. Pinkocommietraitor is definitely more effective than just a plain old drab Commie.

I'm curious...

if he's a lazy commiepinkotraitor who relies on the safety net of other peoples money...

then how come righties always say that socialist societies are unfair and tax too high?

because relying on a safety net sounds like a good thing...

but being taxed too high doesn't

so which is it

is he lazy and relying on other people's money? or is he a slave having the evil communist government tax all his money away?

I never understood how it could be both ways

I guess it's like how the poor black people could be so poor, but then be like... "ghetto fabulous".. you know... like "welfare queens" living off the welfare checks that are paid for by tax money?

I mean, how can they be poor and be GHETTO FABULOUS WELFARE QUEENS at the same time?

can you explain this stuff to me?

I don't understand your right wing lunatic conpiracy theories

I am a socialist because the idea of an economy run by rich investors while the employees that actually make the stuff, do the services, manage the company's bureaucracy, etc., can only affect decisions only by protest (e.g. strikes) is fundimentaly stupid. A democracy is not truely a democracy if the workplace is not democratic. Capitialist Democracy is an oxymoron.

If you're asking wether most Japanese people would agree with your political beliefs than the answer is "hell no!" But then that goes for just about everywhere in the world except for America.

Japan is one of the most pacificist countries in the world and the American military presence there is quite unpopular. Pop-culture wise, Japan is attracted to American stuff to an almost frightening extent.

But my biggest impression about Japan is that the place is just surreal. I had more "WFT is that!" moments in my first day in Japan than in my first month in Korea. Have had a harder time wrapping my head around Japan than I have had with any other country.

Also the Japanese are very much hated throughout East Asia because of WW II atrocities and the whitewashing they've recieved in the Japanese school system. That and because they're trying to steal precious precious Dokdo

The Japanese, if they do care, love Americans and American/Anglo culture (anything in English) but dislike the American government and Bush especially. The U.S. military bases in Japan are roundly despised by everyone no matter what their political stripe. The government is pro-American and more conciliatory towards the U.S. and the U.S. military than the general population.

I'm not sure I agree with all of this, but it's generally on the money. I'd chime in with my opinion, but I just spent 4 1/2 hours waiting at the hospital to get a minor foot injury checked out, so I'm not in the right state of mind to make give an unbiased opinion on Japan at the moment...

And vice versa. I'm sick of my niece ranting on about Pokemon.
