Ten Great Things About the Japanese

[Aeson]

You can take advantage of a silly set of rules while pointing out that everyone would be better of if the rules where changed.

Commonly referred to as hypocrisy. (And no, it wouldn't be better for everyone if we were all jingoists.)

[giblets]

Does Canada have restrictions on free speech? Naturally. What exactly is "hate speech", is agitating for a nation state or challenging universalism hate speech?

I dunno, maybe you could cite some examples of people in Canada getting sent to prison for their political views? Then I would have a better idea what you're talking about.

[Al B. Sure!]

Yeah he says the Anglosphere sucks because we let people who aren't WASPs live here...

[Heraclitus]

#7 was already noted as completely irrelevant to the rest of the article.

Its not actually. The reason paleoconservatives oppose "invite the world, invade the world", is because they disagree with the basic premise. Namely the whole idea that we "have to fight them there so we don't fight them here".

The propose the radical idea of leaving them to their own devices while just politely declining to let them here, will keep us much safer than trashing random countries and bombing people back to the stone age.

But naturally agitating for wars that kills hundreds of thousands of civilians in order to "spread democracy" is much more acceptable than lowering immigration quotas.

Sections 318, 319, and 320 of the Code forbid hate propaganda.[3] "Hate propaganda" means "any writing, sign or visible representation that advocates or promotes genocide or the communication of which by any person would constitute an offence under section 319."

So Canada is a fascist state because it's illegal to say "I want to kill all of the jews and the darkies in gas chambers"?

"paleconservatives"

But I seem to have confused #7 and #9. #9 is the one I was referring to as not fitting into the whole "gee, Japan is really great because they don't let losers come in and screw up their nation. I wish my nation had kept out the darkies!"

The propose the radical idea of leaving them to their own devices while just politely declining to let them here, will keep us much safer than trashing random countries and bombing people back to the stone age.

And this is what the Japanese culture has always been...

But naturally agitating for war that kills hundreds of thousands of civilians in order to "spread democracy" is much more acceptable than lowering immigration quotas.

No, it's not more acceptable. Neither is your red herring.

The Japanese didn't really leave the Koreans and the Chinese to their own devices, particularly not during the period from about 1898 to to 1945. They were "restoring order" in China in the 1930's and 1940's IIRC.

[Aeson]

Wierd concept I know. The idea that the state needs to look out for the best interests of its current citizens even if it means it can't make everyone on the planet its citizen.

"Why can't we just go back to the good 'ol days where nations lined up and shot each other like civilized folk, instead of *gasp* RACE mixing"

strange place the modern world where pointing out that making origami is just as effective and much cheaper than bombing the "axis of evil" country of the weak in achieving world peace gets you called Jingoistic.

That part is where he's referring to some sort of utopia that would come about from his jingoistic ideals. Just once again stupidly ignoring the lessons of history that ultra-nationalistic movements don't end up very peaceful in the end.

[Aeson]

The way you're treating paleocon and neocon is a false dichotomy by the way. We don't have to close off our borders to stop invading people.

[Al B. Sure!]

Okay I'm breaking it down...

1. THEY COMBINE MULTICULTURALISM WITH MONORACIALISM
While Western countries have to permanently upset their ethnic balance and raise the specter of future genocidal civil wars to get a bit of decent ethnic cuisine or exotic dance classes, the Japanese manage to import most of the world’s culture without importing most of the world’s people. This means they don’t have to develop the sort of liberal totalitarianism and thought-crime legislation that sad little countries such as England and Canada do, which, because they are increasingly multiracial, are increasingly monocultural—the monoculture being state fascism.

I already said why this is wrong. Oh! England and Canada (and presumably the US) for WASPs only! It is only natural! Everyone should stay with their own kind!

2. THEY PAY MONEY TO SPEAK ENGLISH TO YOU
A definite upside of Japanese monoracialism is that when you actually get here, there are plenty of people who are willing to pay good money just to hear you speak English and to ask you dumb questions. Over the years I’ve spent here, the top five questions I’ve fielded have been: “When did you come to Japan?”...“Can you use chopsticks?”...“Do you like Japanese food?”...“Where are you from?”...and…“Can I give you another erotic massage?”

Anyone else hate that term? Monoracialism. I know how it can be just a descriptor of Japan which doesn't have too many non-Asians, and, excepting the Koreans, doesn't have too many non-Japanese period... but this term's context throughout the article has the sting of supremacism to me.

3. THEY ONLY ACCEPT REFUGEES FROM FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES
While most Western countries throw open their borders every time there’s a public flogging/vaginal circumcision/paper-clip shortage in the Third World, the Japanese do their bit for the planet’s displaced by only accepting refugees from First World countries such as America. Japan is home to an estimated 88,000 US citizens. Since most of them are Democrats, geek boys, and liberal-arts graduates, this provides a valuable service to Americans by removing what would otherwise be a highly unproductive and unsightly segment of their population.

Paper clip shortage? Really? I want to beat the **** out of this *******'s face.

Oh and 88,000 US citizens in Japan and most of them are so-called undesirables?

There's around 36,000 US military personnel (not to mention families) in Japan along with 5,500 more civilian DoD personnel. I guess they're all an unproductive and unsightly segment of the US population

4. IF YOU TIP THEM, THEY WILL RUN AFTER YOU AND FORCE YOU TO TAKE IT BACK
In addition to having the world’s best service—another thing you unfortunately start taking for granted after a few years—the Japanese also hate being tipped. If you do this, expect the waiting staff or taxi driver to pursue you and force you take back your brown coins by threatening ritual suicide. If you must insult them, it’s far kinder to make a disparaging remark about the emperor’s buck teeth and comically thick bifocals.

Threatening ritual suicide? And I already mentioned the what the **** moment about the emperor's buck teeth and comically thick bifocals...

The Emperor of Japan has neither. His father, Hirohito, might have... in a Tojo-esque WW2-era propaganda cartoon!

The author's racism is so explicit.

6. THEY APPRECIATE OUR CULTURE MORE THAN WE DO
Western museums feel compelled to organize exhibitions of Pygmy dung sculpture or Cambodian straw-weaving in order to balance the “hideous whiteness” of Renaissance art, Baroque sculpture, or French Impressionism. The Japanese have no such hang-ups. Alongside their own culture, “hideous whiteness” is what they crave most. Any exhibition by a well-known Western artist or movement will have them forming lengthy queues keen to pay $15 entrance fees for weeks on end.

You know there's no such thing as Pygmy dung sculpture. I googled it and only this article came up.

Hmm... I guess Africans are only capable of producing **** according to this guy.

Hmm... and Cambodian straw-weaving? Yes, because straw-weaving is the height of cultural accomplishment for the people who built ****ING ANGKOR WAT!!!!



"hideous whiteness" by the way, besides being a phrase in Moby Dick, was used by one of the authors that this author derides in a decade-old editorial piece about the BBC; not anything with respect to Western art, of course. The author just pulled that out his ass because it sounds so inflammatory.

7. THEY ESTABLISH INTERNATIONAL PEACE BY MAKING PAPER CRANES
While Western nations try to end war, terrorism, and nuclear proliferation by bombing and invading the wrong countries, the Japanese have a much better system: They get school kids to make origami paper cranes, then hang them by the thousands in temples, shrines, and at the Hiroshima Peace Monument. OK, it doesn’t solve anything, either, but at least a sheet of origami paper costs a lot less than a cruise missile.

Yes. Those Japanese. Such a peace-loving culture with origami paper folding, Zen koans, and haiku about cherry blossoms...

oh wait.

8. THEIR WOMEN GIVE EACH OTHER HANDY MAKEUP TIPS ON THE TRAIN
Unlike Western women, who jealously guard their makeup secrets by only applying them in the boudoir, many Japanese ladies now do all their makeup on the train. This makes for the easy transference of beauty technology, allowing for a far lovelier female contingent than in the ****-’n’-slut-infested West.

Who gives a **** where women put on makeup? Why does this supposed man care?

Lovelier female contingent? ****-n-slut West?

10. THEY STILL SCARE THE CHINESE
With America likely to turn into a low-IQ, debt-ridden, Third World slum ripe for conquest and colonization within the next couple of decades, perhaps the greatest thing about the Japanese is that the Chinese still have a deep residual fear of them. While Westerners have always touted the idea of China as a sleeping giant, less well-known is the secret Chinese terror of stirring up the Japanese hornet’s nest. As long as this fear reflex remains in place, 21st-century China will always be wary about crossing the Pacific to take advantage of the easy pickings on the other side.

Yes, because the Mexicans (and all those other immigrants who have upset the WASP balance of this country) will turn America into a ****hole

[BeBMan]

For example: The EU today is soft totalitarian any challenge of the basic concepts on which its built has been criminalized.

This is retarded. Look up what "totalitarian" means.

[Traianvs]

This is retarded. Look up what "totalitarian" means.

Heraclitus is the new Ben Kenobi.

[Lorizael]

This article can be summed up as, "Gee, Japan's been great ever since America nuked them!"

[Cort Haus]

Of course the EU is not totalitarian. It is stridently authoritarian and anti-democratic in character, though, and democracy-and-freedom-loving types such as we all are here should be wary of this.

[C0ckney]

hera the article is retarded so it's no surprise that a racist imbecile such as yourself would enjoy it.
