sounds very infantilizing of women to say they're incapable of consenting
I think calling it objectification is an insult to people who have actually been objectivified and commidified, slaves and other bonded labourers, and that objectification theory is a less robust retelling of the ages old looking-glass self concept. I don't pay the concept much mind
not surprising. the zionist occupation has never once cared about the sovereignty of a country
the nationalist faction of the conservative party in japan only holds about 20% of the seats in the diet and does not represent the overwhelming views of japanese people or the government, although it holds a lot of institutional power and sway, and the ultranationalist lobbyists are even smaller still. its an extreme stretch to claim that any current japanese politician is a war criminal since japan has not sent combat troops anywhere. japan has also apologized on different occasions for different things they did in ww2 and you could easily verify this by putting in google "japan apology for ww2" or something similar. and saying japanese culture is also largely reactionary is insane and shows your ignorance. everything your saying to demonize the country is an extreme stretch and not "pointing out the reality"
I guess we can agree on that. you don't care and it shows
japan is thousands of years old while the period its reductively called fascist was only 19 years long and was 78 years ago. in those 78 years the country has gone through massive changes from america tearing down many institutions to america starting the reverse course in 1947 to cement conservatism to the rise of the 1955 system to the 1959 anpo protests. and thats all the history I'm pointing out lasted 19 years, an equal amount of time japan was fascist, yet you don't seem to care. japan has the world's largest non-ruling communist party yet you don't seem to care. I think the problem is your prejudice than with the japanese people being so bad
they have a higher age of consent than my country and also higher than china and its a country of 122 million people sheesh way to generalize a whole group of people off of basically nothing
I don't understand why so many left wing people seem so prejudiced against japan without knowing much about the place or people. they're not so bad
america would probably have not become the richest country in the world if it wasn't one that was quite permissive of homelessness and institutionally speaking america is a very conservative country so it makes sense they haven't done anything up to now to solve the issue. most things in america seem to be cemented in the norms the greatest generation set right after ww2. maybe there will be some change soon but I'm somewhat doubtful
I would say its in the interest of american workers to vote in trump to further the internal war amongst the capitalists there, divest away from the empire which is eating away at the american economy inside-out, and hopefully create a space to establish more working class organizations and capitalize on revolutionary conditions like january 6th
its very infantilizing to think people are not capable of making decisions for themselves because they live in a society lmao
