>>2349257imageboards are a fine medium, their failures are always failures of leadership. they're like a nuclear reactor: incredibly powerful if you operate it right, and incredibly cancerous if you fuck up.
4chan-derived imageboard culture scorns moderation, but an imageboard can only be good when moderators with good taste closely watch the board, purging bad content and letting rule-skirting good content slide. this is made worse because most people imagine that the key unit of the imageboard is the poster and not the post - they try to keep out "bad posters" rather than purging
bad posts.
>>2349370>because they didn't have access to gunslmao you have no idea what you're talking about. the one thing the Japanese far left
didn't lack was random revolutionary violence.

>>2352628Looking at the median wage when talking about owning a house in Tokyo is cheating. You can't make American comparisons because there's nowhere in America as ridiculously central to it as Tokyo is to Japan. (at best, there's California, but even that's dodgy.)
Japan's economy has basically been frozen since the 1990s. The upside of getting 1990s wages is that you're paying 1990s prices. (Until recently, where inflation has finally started to bite.) That has advantages beyond monetary value: never having to suffer sticker shock is nothing to sniff at. If your options are no real wage growth and no inflation, or no real wage growth and inflation (hello, Britain!), you may as well take the former.
>>2352637Japan isn't really Keynesian, it's just institutionally owned by construction companies. Just as Britain is institutionally incapable of building anything, Japan is institutionally incapable of
stopping building stuff.

>>2350558I’ve lived in Japan for 3 years and let me tell you it’s not what it looks like from the outside. Economy is fucked really bad.
Salaries are low, even for professionals (250 000 yen to 300 000 yen when starting). After taxes you end up with even less. Then you have to pay rent. Now add insurance, salary tax, transport, internet, phone, etc. and you end up with very little free money.
Groceries keep getting expensive in short periods of time. Last year electricity went up from 25% to 45% depending on the region. Businesses keep closing (especially restaurants). Products getting worse (either more expensive or smaller/less items). Rice price doubled in less than a year due to corruption: the intermediary institution between retailers and farmers artificially raises the price by not releasing stock.
This country is doomed unless they allow in massive immigration and slow down on the capitalism. Both unlikely.
>>2353515Kek don't tell this guy of wages in Europe 🤣
How is mass migration supposed to fix wages blud 💀
>>2353515you're describing the state of the working class world-wide, not just in Japan
these things are happening to all of us, and if we don't start organizing nothing will improve
>>2353515at least housing is ok
?
>>2355497What do you mean by “ok”?
Most people rent here, which is expensive for the low salaries. Buying a house for the average family person means paying a mortgage for life. More fancy modern houses are only for the wealthy.
Moving to a new apartment is also super expensive. You need to deposit like 4 times one month’a rent. Then you need to buy furniture again, as moving stuff from one place to another is so expensive might as well buy it new. You are basically stuck in one place.
>>2353515This is literally the same situation as Europe, except in my city which is much smaller than Tokyo, the rent for a small studio apartment is 120,000¥ (700€) instead of 80,000¥ (450€). The wages are identical when starting out.
>>2355815>Buying a house for the average family person means paying a mortgage for life.Same, and on top of that you need to pay a part of the price of the house upfront.
>You need to deposit like 4 times one month’a rent.This sounds like heaven to me, here the security deposit is one or two months, but you also need to earn three times the amount of the monthly rent in one month, and/or (but most of the time it's "and") have a guarantor who also earns three time the monthly rent in one month. I come from a poor family and this is fucking hell, I might end up homeless for a while this summer because of this.
>>2348041>It's crazy how such an insular, globally irrelevant country, has so much false importants because they perfected the art of making smut cartoons for asocial perverts.You're forgetting video games, music, synthesizers, comics/manga, most reliable cars and motorcycles, most reliable capacitors, unique cuisine, best seated toilets aka washlets or electronic bidets, pioneers in filmmaking and cinematography, pioneers in camera technology, high speed train exports to China, Taiwan and India (see: CRH2, THSR 700T and E10 Shinkansen), unique traditional art forms, etc.
>>2356377>synthesizersThis, and even more.
Yamaha manufactures some synths, but also everything from prized grand pianos like the CFX to reliable entry-level instruments: guitars, violins, flutes, clarinets, saxophones, drum kits, electronic drum pads, absolutely everything. They even manufacture motorcycles. Yamaha stuff is everywhere around the world, just like Kawasaki motorcycles.
Most arranger keyboards used to play Arabic music are Korg keyboards, and they manufacture other ones used all around the world for other styles. The Korg MS-20 was one of the most popular analog synths in the 1980s because it was cheap and was well designed, and it's still popular to this day.
80% of the effect pedals used by guitarists are manufactured by Roland under the name BOSS, because they are cheap and their construction is solid as fuck. They also manufacture synthesizers.
Then you have Ibanez for metal guitars, and some other brands I forgot.
People needs to realize Japan was the China of the 1980s. Back then, Americans hated Japan just as much as they hate the Chinese now. It changed after the real estate crisis and the Plaza Accord, but Japan still has some serious engineering and manufacturing skills. It's not a "globally irrelevant country", far from it.
>>2356450That’s in the past. University education has been getting worse for years now. Postgraduate education is in particular pretty bad and mediocre. Much experience and knowledge has been lost.
Japan has always relied on foreign advisors. They can’t really invent anything new. Just improve what already exists.
>>2355939>you should just have to permanently rely on the US military forever, this is anti-imperialism btwJCP isn't even for the military btw, they have the schizophrenic idea of just not having any military at all and convincing people that they can just rely on International Law like the UN for everything. How anyone takes that seriously is beyond me.
I have no idea what JCP you're talking about. Maybe you mean Reiwa Shinsengumi?
>>2349370>nice vibes bro. the shame vs guilt thing has always been nonsense. the reality is in the differences in labor regulations and access to the justice systemThis. The entire "shame/guilt culture" thing was literally invented to justify Western supremacy. Isn't it
interesting that all the "shame" cultures are coincidentally that same people targeted for regime change? Little wonder this is well-loved by Zionist apologists.

But who creates bad posts in the first place? It's bad posters. Anybody that lurks this site for just a few minutes would know that if the mods just got rid of a handful of trolls that do nothing but shitpost and derail, this place would be a lot better.
