Usually the explanation offered is that they were influenced by European empires' cultural and economic imperialism somehow, sounds kinda dumb to me but I can't be bothered to track down whatever dumb source that idea came from originally

I think exmarx killing uspol is an attempt to kill this thread

pangstrom posted:I don't have tons of insight as to their essential nature or whatever, I can catalog the reasons I'm not a fan if you want but it's not that novel and in any case it's a bad idea if you're going to go bad faith scorched earth on it with baggage momentum from other insults you've endured or your distaste for discussing "cultures in general" is such that you don't brook it at all. Seems pretty likely to be a bad idea! I mean like I said of course Japan has many huge problems, I'm just saying there seems to a big heap of undifferentiated bigotry and orientalism on top of justified criticisms of those problems, which people just don't really give a poo poo about because they don't really like the country and it's far away and there's no consequence to it? Not arguing in bad faith or trying to draw you into anything, genuinely curious what you think. And I probably do have baggage here, but just from reading this stuff for years and basically never seeing any pushback to it at all icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Dec 1, 2016 |
