>yfw you realize that old japanese people grew up in a time where japan was known for honor, persistence, ninja and samurai
>yfw old japanese people now live in an age where japan is know for stagnant video games, childrens cartoons, ladyboy pop singers, and Toyota

Im honestly surprised that every japanese person over the age of 60 hasnt committed sudoku by now.

They survived the greater shame of losing the war. This is nothing

Considering they used to be known for Pearl Harbor, siding with the Nazis, and cheap poorly-manufactured shit, I think they're doing better.

Please elaborate, I only see preteen ones.
Also 80s Japan was pretty awesome, it's politically correct 2010 Japan that sucks.

You're right, it doesn't.

Times change. So do people. Those who grow up in adversity will be more admirable than those who grow up in affluence, but unless you want to nuke it again, those days are over.

Mitsubishi for life, right?

I'm sure the old Japanese people are happy people don't ask them if they know Karate and Kung Fu any more.

I don't think anybody above the age of sixty is a retarded /v/-denizen who gives a shit about the distinction between "stagnant" and "non-stagnant" video games.

Old japs are wasting their retirement money gambling on Pachinko parlors complaining about the youth.

Ninjas didn't exist and Samurai were government soldiers.

They were known for getting nuked and sucking American dicks then, and they still do now.
Nothing new.

as far as Japan goes we trade them a base and military presence. In return we get a launching point and advanced position in the Pacific.

America owns their government and country, so not a big deal.

Japan probably cares because it didn't do what they intended it to do. Instead of being a knockout blow it was a wakeup call.

I agree I have no respect for a nation that sit idly by and let western imperialists forbid them from having a military. Where has Japanese nationalist pride gone?

they do have a army its just called self defense force
Also its pretty nice for them to be protected by america
I doubt there is a enough retarded country who would go attack Japan cause of that.

Nationalism is a bad thing, which also leads to imperialism, which is also a bad thing. >>9402557 is right, America provides for the defense and care of Japan in international affairs, there's nothing wrong with the current state that Japan is in regards to their military and commonwealth.

What's funny is that first generation otaku have either reached or passed middle age now. There are no "old schoolers" in Japan because the entirety of that country now exists in a post WWII paradigm.

>>9402480
I would say it disappeared after two atomic bombings and post-war nuclear testing. There's no point in resisting after you realize that you cannot win.

>>9404495
/b/ has reached this point long ago. It's only a matter of time before other boards are consumed by the terrible sea of normals.
