i'll answer that. Japan was stuck in feudal society before contact with the West . They are still good at building civilizations which is why the left hates them too, but their tech advancements never advanced as far as White countries did on their own, which was why they immediately started copying White people's things to catch up to White countries .
Unfortunately they also picked up on Enlightenment ideologies along the way, which was a bad thing and which the imperial government also realized as a bad thing https://files.catbox.moe/a2r0oc.png . (Enlightenment ideologies that the Axis were correctly trying to get rid off). it would have been better if they picked up the good things whilst avoiding the bad, but alas.
I'm afraid I'm really not. I'm not happy with 'Western influence' nowadays. I have enormous respect for historical Western culture - there's too much to sum up. But right now, I'd rather live in a country that is isolated from the West.
How was it before significant contact with the west. We're not talking modern shit here.
Ah, well then I agree (wrote the previous part before reading this). Small counterpoint: Japan was culturally pretty decent before Western contact as well though. Japanese cleanliness and orderliness did not spring out of nowhere. Its industry and modernization did though.
Yeah, buddy, if only they get more Western influence like BLM and transgenderism.
No you're better than this.

Don't fool yourself, the Axis was a product of the enlightenment.
Yeah, we agree on that, absolutely a product of the enlightenment. I'll go further, it's the enlightenment taken to one of it's natural conclusions.
