Leaving seems kinda hard. What's needed is a collapse

How is Poland authoritarian? Aren't they more free market as fuck these days?

Japan, Russia, Srilanka

Singapore

Is Japan Authoritati

Authoritarian

You have a weird definition of 'great', then

Voting does nothing. Need to be more like Italy and Poland and just tell them to fuck off as much as possible

And how relative is 'authoritarian'? Like, authoritarian to an AnCap?

Cause Japan is pretty great

It's more their culture than the government 🤔

As long as you do exactly what the state tells you to do

I don't know who was talking about it here last time, but reportedly it's a borderline police state - with an extremely convenient 99% conviction rate

@HungBunny The police have a 99% conviction rate. They have a policy of Guilty before innocent

Shall have to dig into it myself

They also have fuck all crime too

Supposedly a lot of tourists get busted for shit in order to 'solve' unsolved crimes

Yeah, an arrest is pretty much a guaranteed sentencing

I'd say india too, but the government is way too corrupt and inept to actually enforce authoritarianism

I saw a dude on a bike get pulled over by the cops in Japan for maybe drinking while riding and maybe for not having a helmet if that's a thing

Just told him not to do that (I'm guessing) and let him go

Oh yeah, riding without a helmet is a crime here

You have to pay a fine

The irony

It is here too but I did that in japan and heaps of natives were too

India: The land of unsafe, extended family motorbike trips

Yep lol

I think the police in Nihongo are a bit lenient on arrests

```people there seem to have been more outraged that their beloved politicians and bureaucrats have been arrested than they have been with corruption taking place```

Aaaaand that's why the West is different.

``` One of the most common forms of corruption in Japan is kickbacks for construction projects. This form of bribery is one reason why Japan has so many bridges and railway lines but less than half the population is hooked up to sewer lines.```

This seems to correlate with a few things I've read about Japan in the post-war rebuilding years

especially organised crime getting their fingers into all that sweet sweet rebuilding cash

Atleast they don't have muzzies

gonna have to go dig it all back up when I get home from work now to see how it all went

They do have BPS though

What's that
