Japan being fucking based as well if true


MagMati55

Based for the first time tbf


mihirjain2029

Yea actually


Scythian_Grudge

I wanted to post in here to express similar opinion. This is both awesome, and the last country I would expect to do something like this.


lightiggy

Folks don’t say this enough, but at least Japan had the decency to fuck off after the war, unlike Germany. The Japanese government still does outrageous shit every now and then, but no longer actively harms anyone, as far as I am aware. Nagasaki has recently refused to invite Israel to a peace ceremony. Japan has also voted to grant UN membership to Palestine.


luffyismyking

Dumping toxic water contaminated with nuclear waste into the ocean isn't actively harming people?


mercury_millpond

they're nothing if not absolute sticklers for the rules.


owldistroyou

Uncommon japan w???


VeryOGNameRB123

Communist party is still big there


cummer_420

In terms of numbers yeah, but postwar to present day Japan is basically a one party state under the LDP. I do think Japan is trying to shift to a more independent policy on this issue though, and support for Palestine seems pretty good among the public.


shinseiji-kara

and only like 50% of the people actually vote. so its not even a democracy.


bigpadQ

Even when they do vote, the districts haven't been redrawn in decades so rural districts that nobody lives in anymore still get the same representation as urban districts whose populations have swelled.


shinseiji-kara

i LOVE gerrymendaring


EisVisage

It's even funnier because that's kinda the opposite of gerrymandering. No need to even do that if demographics are naturally going to benefit the one ruling party lol


Stunt_Vist

Yes, but you can easily make the argument that they'd resort to fascism without the communist party being as strong as they are. Their working lives are horrible compared to most of the west, only being an improvement over literal cyberpunk dystopian hellholes like SK. The fact that it's a one party state probably has a lot to do with postwar US meddling too and I wouldn't be surprised if an anti-imperialist candidate got elected and was immediately overthrown by western intervention like they did when Australia had a PM that threatened US control of Pine Gap.


portrayalofdeath

OK, make the argument then. What evidence do you have that the communist party has played any role in preventing them from "resorting to fascism" (lol)? Some of you really just be saying stuff.


stressedabouthousing

It's an entirely socdem party


VeryOGNameRB123

A party demanding a complete reworking of the economical system. Socdems. Demsocs maybe


masheenguntheory

Lol, lmao even.


Good_Pirate2491

If this is true it's the most based achievement

Ostracism and shunning will work, even if it's in a small way


HedSi

‘Israel’ has shown no interest in being a part of humanity, they aggress in the most vile ways very blatantly in complete disregard for humanity or any of its laws with an inherent sense of fascist superiority over it. To show support for ‘Israel’ is to announce the abandonment of and departure from humanity and any form of legitimacy. ‘Israel’ and its supporters should be shunned and isolated like or more than how the apartheid supporters in South Africa were, and any attempt at pretending like they’re normal should be shut down. A major reason why it ended was because they rightly couldn’t go anywhere or do anything, they were forced out of it by social and economical exclusion.


4evaronin

Are the hotels named? Otherwise I'm a bit skeptical. Don't forget that victim-hood is an important and necessary part of their narrative, and "justification."


milkdrinker123

https://maps.app.goo.gl/6Sd9MmY5qUN5xzmT9 is the link in the image. Real hotel, no recent public reviews so idk


4evaronin

Yes, thanks, I read more of the original post, in which the manager apparently identified himself by name. Most likely an American (last name Gehres), definitely non-Japanese.


DaddyWildHuevos

What did God promise Japan to the Israelites too?


Dan_Morgan

ISRAELIS: My government is carrying out a genocide. ALSO ISRAELIS: Waaaahhhh, why do I have to face any consequences at all for supporting my government committing an act of genocide?


Shto_Delat

When I lived in Asia a lot of hotels had a ‘No Israelis’ policy not for political reasons but because Israelis were such shitty guests.


VeryOGNameRB123

Reminder that Japan has one of the largest communist parties in the world


blackpharaoh69

How good are they?


VeryOGNameRB123

They're fine for their country. Encompassing anything from democratic socialism to Marxism leninism. Anticapitalist, and socially progressive.


vivianvixxxen

> They're fine for their country That's the best, most concise description of them, honestly, lol


VeryOGNameRB123

It's xenophobia island. The fact that there's leftists with international solidarity is already appreciated.


stressedabouthousing

What is this revisionism? They are socdems who denounced China and the USSR


TsunamizZz

Didn't the leadership who did that not in the party leadership anymore?


VeryOGNameRB123

Present term vs past. Also voter base vs party leadership.


Alarmed-Eastern

Beautiful..being from Israel should become a curse for these people. People should look down upon like they are a war criminal people.
