    Shocking: Nazi country bans plant because worker productivity, or something. I wonder why their suicide rate is among the highest of any country in the world?

    Get your fucking act together, Jesus Christ.

      Japan is not a “Nazi country.” If you meant “fascist,” they’re not exactly that either.

      Extremely xenophobic and unfriendly to outsiders? Oh yeah. Nazis? The fuck are you talking about?

        i live in the same state as Mitch McConnell, so if I fear going to Japan, it’s probably for a good reason.

            That’s a rude thing to assume. The paranoia comes from the fact that I’m genderfluid, pan, polyamorous, a furry/therian, and otherwise outwardly queer in a deep red state.

      While Japan’s suicide rate isn’t the lowest, the rate in the US (where you live per your comment response) is HIGHER than here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate

      I also don’t understand how you get Nazi from Japan. Japan is both left and right of the US on a number of issues (though being left of the US position in some things isn’t a high bar). Do I like the government here? Not particularly (and neither that of the US as both make some pretty bone-headed decisions in my opinion). Is it a Nazi hellscape? Absolutely not.

      I’m originally from the US and have been living in Japan for just under a decade. I have universal healthcare (including dentistry and vision), own a home, run a small farm, and have amazing neighbors who largely treat me like anyone else (wherever you are in the world, there’s always that one person). I have good worker’s rights as a full company employee and more legally guaranteed leave than the US (and yes we’re allowed to use it).
