    Be Japanese

    Have dead-end job in back of office

    No work to do, no upward mobility, no future opportunities

    Collect a steady paycheck every two weeks. Feels-Good-Man.jpg

    New PM takes office. Goes full MAGA nationalist. Picks trade wars. Starts fights with neighbors. Alienates people inside our own sphere of influence even.

    Oh shit, bros. Looks like its another All-Ramen month again.

          So in your comment why did you call out just the new PM? And the LDP has dominated since 1955, so Japan did quite well under them too, for many years.

        Her party (the LDP) has been in power (except for like 4 years) for 6 decades straight. Turns out classic liberals (ie conservatives) don’t have any answers when things start going to shit.

          I just looked it up and 26 out of the nation’s 28 presidents have all been LDP. They have dominated since 1955.

          In other words, Japan has also seen tremendous growth under the LDP. So it seems a bit reductionist to judge the party based on the performance of the past 10 years.

        I read the whole thing as a psyop from Russia and China. How to break up NATO? Get its members to disrespect each other
