I was just watching one of those typical bullshit Japanese travel shows that showcase the regional specialties that Japan has to offer. One of the hosts made a comment like, "no wonder Japan is envied by countries around the world." This isn't the first time I've heard this. All the time: Japan is the peace capital of the world, Japan has four seasons, Japanese work harder than others, Japanese are politer, Japanese food tastes better. I get it. There are countries in greater Asia that have a ton of catching up to do as far as standard of living is concerned. But the words "Kaigai" refer to North America, or something generally more Western 90% of the time. I lived in Japan for 2 years and got that shit all of the time.

I am in Sweden now. You can bet that the people here don't give a fuck about Japan, and don't make comments that show their ignorance about the rest of the world.

Is anyone else tired of a sheer lack of Japanese understanding about their place in the world? Japan inc. is dead, and Japan can't un-fuck their government enough to learn how to say "no," and their society is headed on a one-track route to unrest.

TLDR; ching chong headache

I agree, nationalism is silly.

I agree. Nationalism to the point of ignorance is definitely not something unique to Japan. Especially in the case of China and Korea.

Whats with all these people bouncing between Japan and Sweden? I know someone who was studying in Japan, then moved to Sweden.

Nationalism can be a good thing. Just how can a half black Japanese man writing VNs about robbing gas stations and "fuckin gurlz wit big ass n tities" properly contribute to their culture?
