Japan doesnt have a free standing army, it relies on america and its allies for protection, also only 2% of land is suitable for agriculture on that island so relies heavily on imports to sustain its population.

It's hilarious.
You'd never see this sort of thing in anglo social media because they're all still puristanist authoritarian shitheads who report anything they don't like on sight, whereas the japs just kind of ignore it.

The Japs are extremely puritanical but just according to their own societies standards.

Why do you think treating old age as unimportant in practically all Asian countries is seen as a grave sin?

Life of average Nip
>study your ass off for 8 hours every day since middle school to get into Tokyo University, will kill himself if he gets a B
>survives on vending machine ramen, too poor to go for sushi at a restaurant more than once a year
>>economy has seen 0 growth since the 90s, at best will get a job as a salaryman at a zombie Zaibatsu on life support
>will wageslave to support his Boomer parents, which unlike American Boomers, will live to 120 because they don't eat like pigs and because of the 1st world healthcare system
>lives in a society, gets money exhorted from him by black lackeys of the yakuza, abysmal birthrates, culture is a parody of what it was, atheist
>lives either with parents in suburban home or in a closet sized apartment in Tokyo
>too proud to get into the JSDF, doesn't know that the Osakan chads that join it lead better work, social and sexual lives than him despite being country hicks
>will be a lifelong virgin, girls his age are all engaging in enjo kousai with ugly bastard executives, too proud to shack up with the hot single Christmas cake/office lady that works in the same company
>only upside of his society is homogenous demographics, advanced infrastructure and non-woke media, fat lot of good that's going to do to an outcast NEET/hikkikomori that no one wants to interact with
>gets outcompeted economically by his supposed inferiors the Koreans, will get outcompeted in cultural exports in the following decades
>1 step ahead of the West, this translates in already bowing to his Chinese overlords
>almost entirely clueless about the world
>won't emigrate, vaguely aware that the West is fucked too, plus he got blackpilled about how Asian men are treated there, especially by women because of the occasional browsing of English-speaking imageboards

The same reason there are hikki NEETs anywhere. Some are lazy, some are ill equipped to navigate society, even more so in a society with rigid expectations, and some just realize that our society has gotten increasingly complex and also increasingly dissatisfying at the same time. If American teenagers grew up with realistic expectations about life in their country as Japanese teenagers do, our hikki NEET problem would be 10x worse.
