So does /jp/ prefer South Japan or North Japan?

>> No.4358924

North Japan looks boring.

>> No.4358927

I don't think I could live in the southern parts due to the climate. I'd just never feel comfortable with the heat. North.

Say, is Hokkaido as infernally urbanized as the rest of the country?

I would love very much to live in the Soviet Socialist Japanese Republic under the rule of Supreme Leader Stalin-chama

Well, nuts. I suppose I could find a secluded little town in the northern Honshu mountains and live in it's outskirts. Until the locals chase me away with torches and pitchforks.

How would a People's Republic of Japan be like, by the way? I imagine that the pop culture wouldn't be all that different, at least until the inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union. I mean, Cheburashka and a handful other Russian cartoon characters were already pretty popular among the Japanese even without any attempt of cultural colonization on the Soviets' part.

Japanese pop culture developed in the 1960s after the rapes, humiliations, under Mac, LDP dictatorship, anti-communist massacres and village resistance... Japanese pop culture is a very much late 1960s thing.

The People's Democratic Republic Japan would be more austere, but with a heavy nationalistic and folk culturist element.

You sure back here in the balkan ex yu our pop culture developed during the Communist era its now we had turned into redneck nationalists

>> No.4359007

Yes, but Japanese Pop Culture as we know it is a very specific phenomena, reliant upon the particular post war, and the US's use of Japan's economy during the Korean war.

Socialist Japan will have a different pop culture. Look at West and East Germany for different pop cultures.

They'd be up to the nines in guns, tanks and nukes, while starving , wearing rags and giving birth to three-headed children. Just imagine North Korea on crack. In true asian fashion, they'd be too stubborn to admit communism being a bad idea and reforming like the western warsaw bloc countries.

That one-child policy and selective gendering sure has worked out well for them.

true.

there are 500 million potentially starving chinese less in those 30 years. This is a achievement, a democratic nation like India still has to deliver.

Enjoy your horribly massive gender imbalance which forces you to import women from other countries.

That only came into effect because of Mao's previous retarded "more people = stronger country" measures which caused overpopulation. And they'll now have to deal with an aging population like Europe.

They just have to abandon their one-child-policy, so unlike Europe it's not really hard to find a solution.

>> No.4359270

>>4359227

no. Mao did it not because more people = stronger country, it was because more people = more change to survive a nuclear war against the soviet union (after the split) and the US (after fucking them in Korean War).
So, considering the order and situation of the day during cold war, Mao's decision wasnt that stupid.

>> No.4359277

>>4359251
No, abandoning one-child is not a solution. All those old people will still be there. If you abandon one-child policy then you will have more younger people in proportion to the old people, but then your population will explode and Chinese infrastructure doesn't have it easy as it is.

I guess the proper solution there would be to keep one-child policy and just let old people die without using a single dime of the government's money. But that's impossible, since even old people still need to shit, drink water, and eat food, taking away resources that could be going to the working population.

Conclusion: damned if you do, damned if you don't.

>> No.4359281

Except that they had to implement the one child policy to counter that, which resulted in gender imbalances (female infanticide is fun) and an aging population.

>> No.4359284

>>4359251
they already did.

a couple made of two only childrens can have more than one child without financial sanctions.

in the backwater provinces, the one child policy never really worked anyway. limiting the urban population was china's goal.

>> No.4359304

>>4359277
One-child policy wouldn't be necessary if China actually spent money on advancing agricultural technology, housing, and other basic societal needs. And as long as you have a male-aligned society like China with a policy like they have, infanticide of infant girls is going to continue.

>> No.4359315

>>4359281
That's a cultural problem though, and it's slowly changing. Girls are getting education and are now super valuable because there are so few.

>> No.4359333

>>4359304

they already developed all these things by now, thats why the one-child policy is partitially abandoned already.

But back then, after the failure of Mao's hilarious economic experiments, the one-child policy was needed to free funds and capacity for economic and agricultural development in the first place.

when you are poor, you cannot simply try to advance in all fields, while starving people are eating everything away and reproducing like mad. Many african nations and India tried this - without success.

Killing off female infants for the lolz and economic prosperity, is a cheap price to pay for the actual advancement in the basic fields. When everyone is starving, there will also be female infants to be killed off after birth.

Chines DOES put lots of money into agriculture.

However, China itself, the earth, is terrible for growing stuff. If America is the breadbasket of the world, then China is the anti-breadbasket.

>> No.4359361

>>4359315
not really a cultural problem - more an economic one.

girls are less of a usable workforce on the field and after marriage, they will go away and wont be able to support the family.

boys can work and will stay in the family after the marriage, while still be able to support the family.

simple reasons.

>> No.4359377

>>4359361
I see what you're saying, but it still is cultural.

Why?

Because women can do the same work that men can. But culturally speaking, women don't get to do those same jobs. For the same reason women are discriminated all over the world, in varying degrees of course!

Woman doesn't have to be housewife only, she can contribute as well.
