Silly Japanese. Why would an Australian give whale meat to the Ambassador.

>> No.4568596

>>4568561
That was nuts.

Protesters accusing the spokesperson of being rude because they provocatively offered him whale meat that is not accepted by the Australian government as a "fuck you", shoved it in his face and then claimed that his not accepting it (and walking with dignity away, making no further comment) was an act of ethnic discrimination and racism.

Later, these same people decrying racism shouted "we cannot guarantee the safety of Australian nationals (in Japan)".

The levels of insanity and hypocrisy are just incredible, and I don't even sympathise with the Sea Shepherds.

Whaling is banned in Australia. For him to have walked into the Australian embassy carrying whale meat would have been very, very problematic. He couldn't accept it and did the most dignified thing he could, considering the circumstances. To have openly rejected the "gift" would have inspired an even worse reaction from the protesters, so he just kept quiet and walked away.

He did the right thing and showed immense restraint considering how that crowd was treating him.

I mean, c'mon, they shoved little tins of meat in his face and then started to shout "see! he doesn't like it!"
Well, of course he doesn't. He wouldn't like it if it were tinned beans or ham, you're shoving something in his face. Back the fuck off.

Japan confirmed for being a fundamentalist shithole like the Middle East.
Actually, scratch that. At least sandniggers throw shitfits because of religious and ethic values, Japs gets angry over a kind of meat nobody actually eats and that wasn't even part of the Japanese cuisine until after WW2.
Japs should stop treating whaling as if it were a centuries-old tradition and start regarding it as what it actually is: a recent addiction.

Mmm. Japanese nationalist extremism. What a beautiful phenomenon. They're not just in bed with the mob, they practically are a miniscule finger puppet of it. But then again, most of the diet is in bed with the mob, so emphasizing that might be just idle fiddle-farting. I suppose the yakuza are performing a valuable social function in being the repository for the problematic, straight-speaking portion of the most passive-agressive society on earth.

What does Sea Shepard hope to accomplish anyway? I bet those guys are in for environmentalist pussy.

You want to stop whaling? Convince people to stop eating whale meat. As long as there's demand, some rich fuck with the means to create an industry will find loopholes in the regulations.

>> No.4569439

>>4569421
There has been barely any, even negative, demand growth for decades in Japan. The vast majority don't eat it, and don't like, and the sheer mercury poisoning levels alone dissuade many from trying it in the first place. The Japanese government has been giving whaling companies subsidies to keep them afloat for years.

Honestly, if they'd gone without this publicity stirring up xenophobic defiance in some sectors of the Japanese populace, whaling might have collapsed altogether as an industry within the next five to ten years.

Money. Nobody but teenagers and people who eat whale meat care about the whales. Everyone else is in it for the money.

I personally don't agree with the Sea Sheppards' methods, but it's extremely difficult to convince a large, anonymous group of people that what they're doing is bad/stupid. In comparison, it's much easier to make the costs for producing the supply greater than the potential income.
