So lately i saw a video trying to push the claims that Japanese are not indigenous and that they displaced the indigenous Jomon(never mind that they in fact have Jomon anscestry) and that Ainu are actually indigenous(never mind they are mixed with northerner), and that they were oppressed and yaddie yaddie ya. There was a comment that corrected that shit in the video https://ibb.co/D1H9tQf
But anyways at the end of the video he pushes this multiculturalism message for Japan and then has the gull to try to sell "an authentic japanese snack box" after shitting all over the Japanese . There's this push to claim japanese is not indigenous to push multiculturalism on them.
It's just more "multicultural" pushing to spin into race war to spin into Communism games.
No matter what piece of science, religion, or whatever one believes can you really call anyone indigenous? Did they not come there at some point? They stole the land from the plants and animals I guess. I guess these people need to check their human privilege.
“Indigenous” is basically synonymous with Neanderthal. Oh your “ancestors” lived here for x years, but then got taken over because your society was vastly inferior? Well homosapiens took over land from the Neanderthals so clearly only humans with the most Neanderthal DNA can live on this planet, the rest of you are colonizers.
I'm okay with this, based on which people have more Neanderthal DNA.
The Denisovans get to stay as well.
Yeah, this is somewhat like other weird attempts I've seen. Multi-Culturalism is a very specific, and very recent Leftist construct that is effectively just a cute name for segregationist balkanization.
Just because there are multiple ethnicities, it doesn't make it Multi-Cultural. Every empire in history has been multi-ethnic. Many states people might think of as ethno-states today became ethnically homogenized after forming with multiple ethnicities within them. Few people are truly "indigenous to some specific geography, to the point where it's almost none.
However, that doesn't mean that a nation of people isn't a thing, and that a nation of people doesn't have a uniqueness to it. That is just like every other Leftist trap: applied Critical Theory arguments and rhetorical warfare to undermine your assertions while they double the fuck down on theirs.
Weird how Japanese Culture doesn't really exist, but Workers of the world must unite under a single Socialist culture.
Honestly, I'd just throw it back in their face, especially if you hear it coming from an American. Pick one of their protected classes and do the same thing.
"Black Culture does not exist." watch them absolutely explode. I have made a "The Black Diaspora does not exist" argument before, but I haven't got to try it on a Leftist yet. I do genuinely belive it, though it is a bit of a pedantic argument, but it's a fun one.
Hell, you could do it with something even less galling: "Gay Culture doesn't exist".
Then pull the same stunt:
You won't get far into a conversation like that before you're called a racist, then they'll just keep repeating it.
"racist" is like the case: else in the NPC dialogue tree
anytime there isn't a canned response to the specific situation its the go-to and also the response that keeps going after you run out of the other pre-planned options
and it has the plus side of instantly erasing any cognitive dissonance a logical argument might have instilled in the NPC, because anything a racist says is obviously wrong and anyone who disagrees with lefty dogma is obviously a racist
Then you just reply with "figures the racist would try to gaslight innocents. I bet you hate the jews too, don't you herr fuhrer? I've seen your social media, yeah, REAL supportive of our good children of Isreal, ain'tcha? Fucking nazi get out REEEEEEEEE!"
Or in other words, if they escalate to pettiness, before the pigeon can shit all over the chessboard and strut about as if it has won, beat it at its own game. REE harder in response to anything they do or say. Ad Hominem is on par with "Yell Louder" for debate integrity, so you just need to yell louder than them.
That's why you have to hit them with it first. You must always attack them on their emotional certainty of their righteousness.
I would never otherwise say it's a good way to argue like this, but Leftist Useful Idiots are so fully captive to emotional appeals that they don't even recognize other forms of argumentation. You have to set them emotionally on the defensive. A personal attack is the only way to get their attention.
Honestly, they don't expect to be immediately attacked because conservatives rarely ever do.
If the Japanese aren't indigenous, nobody is. History talks about the "earliest inhabitants" of an area. If you go back far enough into history, you'll find that whoever "originally" owned some piece of land just isn't recorded. The "earliest inhabitants" didn't write down that their ancestor Ugh-Ugh the Lazy got Oogh-Ook of the Mountains drunk and hit him over the head to steal his valley. Ugh-Ugh didn't even know how to write.
Icelanders are indigineous to most of the island; all of it, really, since the only people who preceded them were Irish monks (who for obvious reasons could not have made a permanent settlement).
Whites can't be indegenious.
Iceland is the whitest country in the world.
Therefore, Iceland was built by blacks.
Also, the first page of a search for "whitest country in the world" on DDG returns The 25 Safest Countries In The World.
I want China next. These shit seems to be coming from communists, so let's see China or NK have some diversity.
Technically the Japanese did colonize Japan, but its theirs by conquest. I hope they tell any race baiting commies to go back to China.
I wonder if the same people would be cool with pushing out other peoples who have lived in an area for an extended period of time…. Like the Turks from Byzantium. Or dissolving all sorts of borders for the Roman Empire. Quite a few modern day countries were apart of Rome for a much longer time than they have been independent. Or significant portions of the Middle East for Babylonian, Assyrian, or Persian empires. Or give Egypt back its historical borders. These people pick a random point in time and claim x group are victims when in reality someone was always somewhere else first and they get conquered. The only thing new to my knowledge is that we now have groups within countries who wish their own civilizations to be conquered.
Vid link? I'll post it to Japanese Twitter and watch the comment section rip it apart.
Sorry for the late reply https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tnK2FK2298 This same channel who posted this video is extremely woke. Seen him like a comment suggesting that "gamers hate women"
EXACTLY what I expected. I watched that and left a long winded comment correcting the inaccuracies and I can't find it now so he probably deleted the comments that correct him. There's a breadtube type community within the history channels on youtube btw so be careful who you watch, especially if they're Brits or Canadian, they prone to twist things to a leftist narrative.
They seem to of deleted the comment you mentioned as well.
Japan has one of the most stable cultures and probably the single most peaceful society on Earth. The reason for this is their cultural homogeneity, and the fact that they can derive a sense of community and identity from their shared ancestry, in a way that we in the West can no longer do.
Their ancestors, whether Ainu or Wajin, have been the exclusive inhabitants of those islands for more than two thousand years. They have nothing to apologize for, and everything to celebrate.
For their sake, I hope they take a lesson from our failure to resist this kind of cultural guilt, and keep their nation, their culture and their identity intact. The only way to do this is by refusing to allow foreigners to exploit any sense of cultural guilt or shame in order to undermine the integrity of Japanese society for their own gain.
japs are a mixed bag and im very much not a big fan of their whole widespread pedo consumerist thing, but this does apply
Perhaps cause that is the narrative that is pushed? and they dont think they "gloriously destroyed the Jomon" . Regardless trying to say only ainu is indigenous despite also being mixed, (and also did you read the link?) and regardless this whole thing is just used to discredit Japanese claim on their own country so that they can push multiculturalism on them.
source? ive seen japanese claiming Jomon blood ,never seen them going "we gloriously destroyed the Jomon". and they would not push that they are not indigenous either
if there's no "we" concept of japanese before then that's even more stupid to push that they went "we gloriously destroyed the Jomon"
Well that's not what i've seen from Japanese.i see them more often claim Jomon, but regardless their religion was based on Jomon beliefs and they have Jomon ancestry and to push that they are not indigenous but mixed ainu is, just used to push multiculturalism on them. and like i said did you read the link?
