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.
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.
