Well, both sides do have a point, and I empathize with the original poster.
The japanese have a very strong cultural identity, they are very much in it together, anything else could, and is seen as a outside threat. Very easy for people to blame the enemy, for everything thats wrong lmao.
Kinda of the idea behind manufactured consent, having a common enemy corral the masses.

I wish all I had to deal with was just some rude social media posts. Imagine being poisoned, denied help, gaslit, and dying from a preventable disease.
Feels a bit like your cancer being rejected by a body.
A lot of leftist intellectuals pull this sort of bullshit, most notably Chomsky and Eco. They take these common features of our reality, present in most relationships and interactions, and then try to pass them off as legitimate “red flags” for muh fascism, muh oppression, etc. The goal is to transform simple bits and pieces of reality into big alarming indicators so that you can generate false positives whenever you examine right wing movements.
Literally any political or cultural movement is going to have enemies. The existence of enemies is not de facto proof that you are somehow in the wrong. Your inability to please everyone is not a flaw in your ideology. To the contrary, if you are pissing off or harming the right people, then you are doing a good job. Leftists don’t even pretend to shy away from this idea, yet their pet intellectuals only ever level criticisms of this behavior when right wingers do it.
“They’re making immigrants the enemy!”
Yes. Immigrants are the enemy of the local citizenry. Necessarily. A strong and prosperous nation can absorb more immigrants before collapsing, but that doesn’t mean immigrants are good when they are few in number. It just means they can be tolerated.
