Btw, its commonly said that Japanese are racist. I've seen the other way around. The Gaijin Card is power, is this how black people feel in America?

various reasons, mostly because of uniformity and ease of understanding in society. if everyone "speaks the same language" so to speak.

In the past that was more of a defense mechanism, but since people aren't shamed into assimilation like europeans were its anyone's game

they should assimilate, because they're here by our graces, and our culture is clearly better

Not sure, Belial. I wouldn't want to be black in America.. id have a big distrust if I got something I wanted. Did I earn it or was it given to me because of white guilt? lol.

Also japanese are very racist, but they also have tentacle porn, so maybe theres a bigger underlying issue than racism

@zero_consequences bingo

lol

But that's an advantage

Those are all good reasons. I was just playing devil's advocate to see where you were coming form. I would then ask you what makes to think non-whites can assimilate? the blacks in yor country who are descendants of slaves have been in your country for centuries haven't assimilated so why would new non-whites?

yes, because it's not like there's years of history that you're skipping over

well japanese culture has emulated the west's for quite a while. sure they're rebelling against that in their own way but I think there's still an appreciation in most asian countries for white skin and blonde hair

they assimilated quite a bit since the days of building shacks made of sticks and leaves, and keeping it together with poop,

But we(leftists) are telling them they should be savages because they're too oppressed to be sensible

You have to remeber that Japan was forced to became westernized. I think if America wasn't influencing them any more they would slowly created their own culture again.

a funny fact yes :P

"You're gonna make money and you're gonna like it!"

Forced to westernize, or forced into reparations at the behest of the US and allies for Pacific imperialism which ended up strengthened their economy ?

even before WW2 America forced them intro trade, i learned that from le youtube 😛

well i'm not anti-japan or anything. they had their strategic/material reasons for encroaching on US territories

just glad it worked out the way it did.

I mean Amercia and the western allied nations forced them to adopt democracy and made the emperor a constitutional monarch. I'm not talking about trade I'm talking about culture.

I agree that the Japanese empire needed to de distoryed but my point is that Japan has become westernized after the war because they were forced to not because they just developed it like Europeans and Americans.

I just think forced is a harsh term. it was more like acqueisence. they nationalism'd so hard it was a religion for them. when that failed, they were broken.

anywho i'm gonna catch some z's. Night

The book itself is actually not illegal in germany anymore afaik since 2017, but distributing is.

Japan has a thing

If a kid is born here he isn't japanese

Unless both parents are japanese

If you nationalise, you never get the right to vote too

isn't this a dream for conservatives?

😏

but the child of two nationalised parents can vote?

I'm not sure. I think so

When 1 parent is japanese

They have to pick a nationality at 18 years old

Not sure if the same applies for a nationalised person with a gaijin

The book libet is probably talking about is not and never was illegal in germany. Until 2016 it was not possible to reprint it because the copyright holder (bavaria) was not allowing it. Since then it can be reprinted (and sold but that was possible before if you had a copy) the only limitation it has is that it can not be advertised in any way because it is not suitable for minors - which basically the same thing that happened to the uncensored version of borderlands.
