The reddit thread describes exactly how SJWs recruit in the US, by the way. And Fortune 500s aren't that different, but they will always hold a great deal of power.

2019-02-10 06:12:51 UTC  

Maybe. But things do change.

2019-02-10 06:13:05 UTC  

i'd even argue that the racial tensions are getting worse in japan because we can't stand the chinese tourists defacating on your floors and destroying our toilets

2019-02-10 06:13:09 UTC  

That signals enough strength to have taken said step in the first place.

2019-02-10 06:13:28 UTC  

haha. Yeah, racial tensions are getting worse in the US too.

2019-02-10 06:13:35 UTC  

also there are only 2 genders in japan, its not even a subject of debate

2019-02-10 06:13:59 UTC  

I blame the whole intersectionality thing for most of it, but there's other factors driving it too.

2019-02-10 06:14:13 UTC  

That was how it was in most places in the US until a couple years ago.

2019-02-10 06:14:23 UTC  

so since there is no such thing as "gender bias" training in japan there isn't even anywhere to start

2019-02-10 06:14:39 UTC  

I still remember how people on Reddit used to make fun of the whole concept and you couldn't find *anyone* pushing the "gender is a social construct" line.

2019-02-10 06:14:49 UTC  

in the US feminism and LGBT has been a issue from a long time ago before trump even announced his presidency

2019-02-10 06:15:03 UTC  

Now the "gender is a social construct" seems to be the dominant narrative.

2019-02-10 06:15:16 UTC  

they always existed, just not that vocal before the trump presidency

2019-02-10 06:15:20 UTC  

Don't forget. Obama campaigned *twice* on not supporting Gay Marriage.

2019-02-10 06:15:39 UTC  

yeah that's the US, nobody is even talking about gay marriange in japan for the most part

2019-02-10 06:16:41 UTC  

Bear in mind, Obergefell vs. Hodges (the turning point in the US) was also in 2015.

2019-02-10 06:17:31 UTC  

Read that Reddit thread and just ask around if anyone you know has heard of similar things. That's what to watch for.

2019-02-10 06:17:39 UTC  

do you know that gay marrriage isnt even legal in japan

2019-02-10 06:17:50 UTC  

homosexuality isn't illegal but same sex marriage isn't legal either

2019-02-10 06:18:45 UTC  

That's how it was in the US until the last decade or so.

2019-02-10 06:18:56 UTC  

Outside of a (very) limited selection of places.

2019-02-10 06:19:21 UTC  

didn't the US legalize it for like a couple decades

2019-02-10 06:20:20 UTC  

at least in most states

2019-02-10 06:22:02 UTC  

It's complicated. It was basically de-facto banned everywhere and gradually expanded via the courts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_same-sex_marriage_in_the_United_States#Early_years

It wasn't nationally legal until 2015.

Also, Prop 8 (banning gay marriage) passed *in CA* in 2008

2019-02-10 06:22:11 UTC  

It was mostly fought in the courts.

2019-02-10 06:22:23 UTC  

The mainstream culture was very against it until very, very recently.

2019-02-10 06:22:56 UTC  

so its been around for a couple years not a couple decades then, ok

2019-02-10 06:23:12 UTC  

The left is currently hunting down anyone who supported Prop 8 (see Brendan Eich)

2019-02-10 06:23:20 UTC  

plus even if same sex marriage gets legal in japan not many japanese people care about it politically, becaues they don't care about politics in general

2019-02-10 06:23:51 UTC  

That's the US too, to be honest. only ~40-60% bother to even vote.

2019-02-10 06:24:05 UTC  

no in the US millemials are overwhemlingly democrat

2019-02-10 06:24:12 UTC  

And it gets much smaller as you get more involved.

2019-02-10 06:24:21 UTC  

Yes? So?

2019-02-10 06:25:36 UTC  

"In the most recent election for the House of Representatives (the lower house of the National Diet) in 2014, for example, 68% of citizens in their sixties went to the polls, but only 32% of those in their twenties turned out. This combination of factors has led some people to complain that Japan has a “silver democracy”—a system in which silver-haired seniors hold the upper hand and young people’s wills tend to be neglected."

2019-02-10 06:26:24 UTC  

so, since japanese people, especially the younger generation, are much less political than millenials in the US its much harder to push any political agenda in japan since the younger people are too busy fapping to hentai than listening to politics

2019-02-10 06:26:50 UTC  

30% turnout rate for millenials at the polls that's pretty damn low

2019-02-10 06:27:20 UTC  
2019-02-10 06:27:30 UTC  

and, its dwindling too "In fact, though, the newly enfranchised 18- and 19-year old voters make up a mere 2% of the total electorate. And it is fair to say that their participation had no significant effect on the results of the July 2016 election for the House of Councillors (the upper house of the Diet), the first nationwide election following the lowering of the voting age. The cynical voices of young people who said, “Even if I vote, it won’t make any difference,” turned out to have been accurate."

Things aren't as different as you might assume.
