This is how “high trust” societies function. It’s probably how our kids would be living if globalists weren’t destroying our country through immigration.
Eh... Japan is an autistically bureaucratic and collectivist (not in the commie way, but the way that their community enforces social norms) country. Imagine losing your job and your reputation because you missed the trashcan or something.
If anything this makes me wonder how paranoid the average Jap has to be about stepping out of line. This dude's life is probably ruined in the long-term over this.
I love some of their artistic/entertainment products and music, but I prefer my freedom and more reasonable social norms, thanks.
I've posted this before and I posted it again, more than half the people here who praise Japan wouldn't last five seconds in that society precisely because of what you describe. I've trained with Japanese martial arts instructors, possibly going to see about travelling to Japan sometime to maybe train there as well and holiday a bit depending.
The passive aggressive politeness with them is real. They're totally nice generally and quite forgiving of foreigners don't get me wrong, but their society is very much fuck around and find out and you have to know how to adapt to their society pretty well. People here are too individualistic so they'd immediately start stepping on toes if they hung around Japan long term. That's why there's partly a problem of even the westerners living in expat bubbles and not really adapting.
I think most people are aware Japan has it's own share of problems, especially in major cities where the work culture and conformity are at their maximum, but what people find refreshing is that these are an entirely different set of problems from our own.
More and More, Japan's problems seem relatively quaint and managable on the grand scale. There's always a chance that a decade of good governance could right the ship, and deal with the worst of it.
In comparison, people are losing hope that the west can be fixed at all. For many, destruction of western culture seems immanent. I'm not that black pilled, but I can see where they are coming from. In any case, it would probably take more than a decade to resolve the issues we find ourselves mired in.
(Unless this all ends in fire, that can fix issues astonishingly fast. However, that's an even more undesirable solution for most.)
Yep I'd rather have a Japanese lady at 7-11 be fake polite to me than some rude Indian guy trying to overcharge me on an out of date product and then having a group of teens outside the store ask "you wanna get fuckin smashed eh cunt?"
I really miss how the west (or at least NZ where I grew up) used to be 20+ years ago.
At that time I'd say it was superior to Japan. But right now it's fucked. Not sure if its salvageable.

You can reverse almost anything except demographic replacement. Which is why they are using demographic replacement.
