Lolwut

The economic crisis was because of a house bubble

Also, its really easy to enter Japan

Gaijin go home.

I'm in Japan right now =p

:p

They are actually pretty friendly to gaijins. You just wont become one of them

The gaijin card is a thing

I mean... you can if you have genetic heritage.

I now know how black people get away with everything

You can nationalize without problems. But if you look like a gaijin they have different expectations of you

This is true.

And its the only "western" country that's safe

you can leave your phone in the middle of the street for 3 hours. When you get back its there

Lol I literally had this conversation with my boss today.

Society works here

The possibilities are incredible

You know manga/internet cafes?

They only work here because of the culture

In the US a black guy would rob half the booths in 10mins

there's no security needed here

I mean social privileges like that only works in a tight knit society.

Advantages of being on an island and never being officially conquered by a foreign power.

No mass immigration

No multiculturalism

Which has the disadvantages of erasing some of the non-mainstream indigenous cultures... like the Ainu.

Also, life is hard if you don't assimilate

Everything has its cons and pros

I'm fine with their cons

True. However I feel that for the sake of history, it is the moral obligation of a dominate culture to preserve and archive the cultures they assimilate.

If you look at history, we always did the reverse

And that's what makes those instances where thing do survive, ever more precious.

The dominant culture colonised and destroyed the others, forcing them in one way or another to adapt to the dominant one

Like when the Taliban bombard Buddhist carvings off the side of a mountain. Tragedy for the world.

This topic sounds a bit unrelated to japan though

Well I mentioned the Ainu.

They kept their borders and didn't gobinto the diversification meme

Idk what's Ainu tbh

And the assimilation of the Ryukyu islands...

And the Ainu is a northern Japanese ethnic group.

I'll have to read about it

Often considered the "white Asians."

They have a closer genetic lineage to Russians than to the traditional Japanese social body.

Really fascinating outlier in the field of human genetics.

I believe Michio Kaku did an interview where they briefly touch on the topic of the Ainu.

From Wikipedia, "The official number of the Ainu is 25,000, but unofficially is estimated at 200,000 due to many Ainu having been completely assimilated into Japanese society and, as a result, having no knowledge of their ancestry."

Considering the Japanese part of my family is from Hokkaido, it was just something I stumbled upon while looking into my family history.

Anyway this got a little too real for a meme channel.

So...

I'll look into it later. But I have no opinion on it

Hahahhaha

N1

This all started because of a shit meme shaming Japan for not opening its borders and implying that was the cause of the economic crisis

Ironically, I think Japan is far better off than most

My boss seems to think so... but he's from Osaka... and it is really hard to find a place in the world that rivals Osaka.

I still didn't go there. But it sounds like an awesome place to party

Good food.

My day is better now

humans are the real monsters

lol

THE JEWS DID 911

That was implied yeah

the alt-right have infiltrated the Japanese schools?

they are isolationist so obviously they are alt right

I thought it originally said Arigato Obama san

That’s funnier tbh

Take that, filthy bastard commie.

the ever elusive shape of greenland

OK, but on the subject of Mao and sparrows, he had the right idea but in the wrong continent. Sparrows are a terribly invasive species in the US that were brought over from Europe, and they have done a ton of damage to local wildlife such as bluebirds. They're murderous little fucks and our indigenous birds haven't had time to adapt to their presence. They're one of 3 species of birds you're legally allowed to kill with impunity.

House Sparrows. Tree Sparrows are cool guys who deserve their citizenship.

Can't argue with facts.

Poor kid. Wonder what her parents taught her for her to have that reaction.

can you seriously not see the obvious jump cut?

No just the fast camera turn. Is that shade of blue super common for walls in schools now?

It is faked though and I'm a stupid

I fell for it too.

But the thing is, it's the exact same reaction as many many others post-election

Which is what makes it believable.

I'm sure there are parents stupid enough to instill this.

XD yeah this fake is an old one too

Yes, schools are painted to promote a calm atmosphere using pastel blues and greens.

My school walls I remember being this color:

@Scribblehatch I thought I was going to get rick-rolled there.

That video is great. If only they hadn't ruined it with completely banal ear-rape.

"Oh wow. You annoyed me for the second it took me to hit the mute button, and ruined your own funny creation forever. Good work."

Yeah ear rape isnt fun. Shit gives me cancer

Hamlet's father died from ear rape.

Is that TVA messaging TVA? @JULZIFICATOR

Nono its some random dude messaging TVA its just cropped to show the convo XD

I don't watch TVA. Is it a bunch of shit?

XD yeah its got alot of hyperbolic sort of tabloid shit

They do report on actual shit that happens around here

But its like 50/50 reporting/tabloid

THOT WATERMELONE

xd jesus the stash

Happy to see it all

Deep fried?

So much deep fried

tasty memes

Literally grasping for straws

Reeeee

I hope @Timcast likes my memes

What a ride.

Racism Watchdog vs The Mary Sue? Now that's an interesting situation there.

The best way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it strictly.

How do I know if Tim likes my memes? All hail tim

Racism watchdog. Where have you been all just life!

Sir! Retract that "woof", sir! How dare you "woof" at the Mary Sue, sir!

Oh wait, is this racism watchdog a SPLC account?! Ugh, I thought this was a dirty little troll. Disappointed

Yeah, it's some dumb cunt.

It really sounded like a right wing troll thing to me. Damn! I thought the left couldn't meme

I don't think it's a meme-ing Lefty. I think it's just someone who types in "black" and racial slurs into Twitter search and "woof"s people.

But that's pure speculation

I believe the people who created the racism watchdog account are two gay men?

yup

That's the joke I believe

It's all confusing. *que Fry confused meme*

I heard they're assholes

Predictably

imagine my shock

But my leader tim

You make me so happy

XD jeez

Eating all these memes fried is not good good for your health.

But they taste good

I do it all for Tim.

Please tim judge my memes<:timcat:463067464016855040> <:timcat:463067464016855040> <:timcat:463067464016855040>

So much deep fried cancer

not enough cheese

Only Tim has ascended high enough for my memes, it's all for Tim

Why are all those memes so poorly deepfried <:timcat:463067464016855040>

too much oil in these memes

don't dip them too much

Some are pretty much unreadable

I consider myself fairly in the know, but damn, some of these are testing that status.

Deep fried memes is a bad meme, can't wait for it to grow stale

All are for @Timcast only he is far enough down the mental expansion to fully grasp them. Rock and morty fans have high iqs? Don't make me laugh. Not like @Timcast timpraise be he

These memes are giving me autism

Dreams come true

What does 3rd world immigration have to do with thoughtpolicing

Shit I want NY pizza

now go find someone named hindsight that would be a realistic candidate 😉

Is there a point where Bo Burnham was funny? Because I've yet to find it

i thought he made some good shit back when vine was a thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-amxmcNjfo

Burnham was good 10 years ago

the music wasn't bad, it just wasn't funny because most of what he said was shit 😂

My friends think I'm crazy because I've never laughed at his music

Maybe play some Johnny Rebel back at them and ask them why they don't think it's funny. @Pake

Lol

Don't know if someone's already posted this https://imgur.com/gallery/ELzpNtm

That was pretty concise.

Imagine the hellfire this guy would've experienced 4 years ago for the exact same video.

They definitely have man-buns. Can't fault him for that.

Can Tim confirm if this is actually how Vice makes news stories? 😄

I @ him too much. someone else can ask. 😛

Man buns are getting very popular. I'm even starting to see them on wahmen

They look good if you have blood on your arms.
