I have lived in Japan for many years and have paid taxes and exercised my right to vote. However, in the 21st century, it is often disappointing to see cases and accidents that are not accepted by the world community, as well as claims and opinions.
I take pride in being “international-oriented”. You can’t change your face, but you can change your personality and way of thinking. The United States and Europe have strongly formed Western culture in white-centered societies and have influenced the world. On the other hand, there are areas that should be native and black-dominated, such as Africa, South America, and yellow-race Asia, which have been colonized for many years.
Why there is no change of government policy in response to the will of Okinawan voters if they say No. against the Henoko U.S. New military base, in the basic democratic election.
That’s probably because Japan lost the war and is still in the American colonial basement. Even in the Myanmar elections, even if a democratic group wins in a military coup, it is regarded as an opposition force and killed. There is a business Japanese government that can do nothing to outrageousness situation. (It is not a citizen!)
I don’t want to think that it is the same Japanese who choose such people (Politicians).
Although the priority is “life” in the corona situation, there are also economically difficult individual restaurants, but restaurants and taverns of major chains have changed places, contents and jobs offered, and dismissed non-regular employees, can survive.
Japan seems to have dropped out of the world top-ranked nations in terms of politics, economy and culture. It seems that the reason why excellent human resources are not utilized is that they do not form the body of a democratic nation and that dignity is not utilized in individual consciousness.
It’s good to learn from the West or China and it’s also good to learn from historians, inventors and philosophers.
However, it is the worst to use military power and money power to push authority right through.
I am amazed at the actions and claims of Myanmar, Thailand, China, North Korea and Russia.
