Just watched this excellent video on Japan and how it has tackled pretty much every societal issue differently to the west and doesn't want the fractured society we have created for themselves.

Economically they are finding other ways of solving their debt crises and the 'population' problem rather than using the ponzi scheme method of continuously raising the youth population using foreigners....A method that doesn't work in itself because eventually they bring dependents with them....and of course they will also grow old....it is unsustainable short termist nonsense as well as incredibly divisive.

I blame an uneasy unintended coming to together of interests between cultural Marxism and right wing capitalists who have driven the societal mess we live in today.

Umm,here's what Newsweek had to say about Japan's non fractured society you recommend we emulate:

"Japan, a pillar of technological development and progress, has yet to address race as a pressing national issue. The racial discrimination that exists in Japan is reminiscent of the segregation-based atmosphere of 1950s America, posing a hostile environment for those of non-Japanese origin".

or,as it was put in the Japan Times:

"Japan has a dire problem it must address immediately: its embedded racism.

The country’s society and government are permeated by a narrative that says people must “look Japanese” before they can expect equal treatment in society.

That must stop. It’s a matter of Japan’s very survival.

We’ve talked about Japan’s overt racism in previous Just Be Cause columns: the “Japanese only” signs and rules that refuse entry and service to “foreigners” on sight (also excluding Japanese citizens who don’t “look Japanese”); the employers and landlords who refuse employment and apartments — necessities of life — to people they see as “foreign”; the legislators, administrators, police forces and other authorities and prominent figures that portray “foreigners” as a national security threat and call for their monitoring, segregation or expulsion.

But this exclusionism goes beyond a few isolated bigots in positions of power, who can be found in every society. It is so embedded that it becomes an indictment of the entire system."

Yup,lets have this as a model to aspire to...not.

Have you introduced your 'Japanese brother in law' to your 'black' and 'evangelical' friends?

I thought you said you were "bored" of yourself being like this a few weeks ago and you were going to cease being an immature fruitcake? I thought for a minute there you had finally matured a bit. Daft me.
