I'm reading comments about japan refusing to sign the the G7 agreement to reduce plastic waste in oceans. I'm not exactly sure how it's eye opening. But it's full of of plenty of bullshit..shoving their own countries opinions, actions and philosophy on a culture they know very little about or interact with.
It's just very strange. Here is a country that doesn't have a problem nor is negatively affecting the world and is also solving their own issues.. And there is a problem that is negatively affecting the world due to third world countries(their trash dumping in oceans). Lets ban this thing from this first world country and mock and insult them when they refuse to agree to change. Instead of trying to solve the issue in these third world countries.
It's really laughable..Like I really doubt these are political shills or pretenders like those "as a white person" comments since asian cultures are pretty alienated from the rest of the internet due to large language and geographical barriers.

Yeah, I've ran into this too. "We have to provide welfare because the constitution guaranties the right to pursue happiness and some people just don't get paid that much" - security officer at my work

Now that we know that most ocean garbage comes from continental asian riverbeds, it's not surprising they'd have issues signing something they're not responsible for.
That being said, conservatives are just as guilty of this. Every time morals come up against science, passionate conservatives proclaim ignorance while voicing opposition to science (and no, I'm not talking about global warming bullshit). Conservatives tend to be passionate about good vs. evil, right vs. wrong, both as black-and-white sort of topics, while simultaneously believing they're the "white/right/good" side of the dichotomy (and if you tell them otherwise on Voat, you're a kike shill).
Liberal or Conservative, Libertarian or Authoritarian, you can't have a discussion, one where both sides come to an agreement or meeting of the minds, when you unwaveringly believe you're right, and the other person is wrong. All you can do is argue and turn your debate opponent into a caricature.

I think the Japanese are introverted and uninterested in and unfriendly towards outsiders. It's for their own benefit, because the world is full of various types of niggers and white cuckold liberal types.

They carry the "White Man's Burden".
Liberal train of thought: Those poor minorities won't make it unless us elite, special and enlightened people do something. And since I'm so special and elite, my stuff is too important to interrupt, so some poor people will have to do it. I'm glad I'm helping so much.

Liberals are idiots, but to be fair, reading any comments section of any article is a fast way to lose faith in humanity. Liberal comments are horrible, but I just as often wish people with whom I may even agree would just stop making comments. It makes everyone look idiotic.
