Anyone else not really wanna be asian but jealous of the fact that they don't have to deal with western bullshit? They seem to enjoy their lives so much more.
Not as much pressure on young guys to move out asap , feminism having little impact, no retarded puritan influence when it comes to sex, no glorification of guns and violence, etc.
I get what you're saying I'm actually watching a documentary about Japan and that's the feeling I get. Everyone seems so involved in their job, however menial it appears. They really seem to enjoy what they do. I don't know if it's bullshit and it's just for show though.

>Anyone else not really wanna be asian but jealous of the fact that they don't have to deal with western bullshit?
Yes. I feel this every week. I just want to nightwalk in a big neon city without fear of getting robbed by fucking bongo banana monkeys
If I could get an expat job working Western hours (ie, 9am-5pm) with a similar salary to what i make now I'd move there in a heartbeat - Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan whatever.
Unfortunately, someone like me could only teach English, the field I'm in (IT) is comparatively massively underpaid in East Asia relative to the West, and I'd have to learn the language which is 3 years minimum
grass is always greener. im in between kind of because although i moved to the states when i was 4 or so, ive kept in touch with my korean roots and in the past few years all my closest friends have been intl students. desu theyre all fairly happy here. they miss korea but mostly for how fun and cheap it can be to drink and party in seoul. it also helps most if not all of them are quite well off but they all seem to think america offers more oppurtunities for them, at least in the initial stages of their careers
Christian Turner
Yeah their work culture sounds great.
Colton Gray
this, just is one of the countries with higher suicide rate, kids are pressured as fuck in school, and when you get a job your personal life is basically over

>work 70 hours a week, some of that not even paid >if you are anything but japanese they will silently resent you, good fucking luck getting a japanese 3d waifu >depressing shut-in culture, everybody is extremely formal (and thats to other japs, imagine being white) >learning japanese is a nightmare, they have 3 fucking alphabets with the kanji part having thousands of characters you have to memorize to be useful in society, and the way the language is spoken is ass-backwards >large cost of living for a tiny cell in the city, most land has been owned for generations their anime is top-tier but they will either burn out and crash as a society or degenerate like the west
Dunno grass is always greener on the otherside they say. I'm sure there's a few negative points about Japan. But not having to walk on eggshells for political correctness sounds like fun.
Gavin King
you can teach english np, just apply to nice schools

you really shouldnt believe everything they tell you on the internet. im from europe and not native english speaker and ive been forced to study a 3rd european language on top of my native + english and i never managed to do that(it was german) however ive had no problem studying japanese and after 2 years i passed the JLPT N1. and all the other points you made are so full of shit i wont even bother answering them.
Thomas Miller
German is one of the worlds hardest languages you retard. Also have you ever been to japan? I'm not even that user but if you didn't pick up all those bad traits of the japanese lifestyle staying for more than one month on japan, you are either willfully ignorant or just an idiot weeb.
Juan Gomez
>being jealous over literally the most cucked society ever created Every one of your points are just wrong >Not as much pressure on young guys to move out asap Nigga their college is literally highschool these kids are forced out of their homes at like 16, and they don't even get to enjoy their youth due to societal pressures. >feminism having little impact Yeah cuz the dudes there are so beta they practically avoid women >no retarded puritan influence when it comes to sex Because nobody is having sex, look at their rapid population decline >no glorification of guns and violence, etc. Yeah just loli anime girls and obsessively sexual manga. Totally normal
I agree with their peaceful society tho, even though everyones basically just a soul less non human robot. Does the ends justify the means? Only time will tell.

White people are different and it shows. We have accomplish a lot more than other races for a reason. If you don't like being white that's fine, just reject your whiteness and tan your skin like Ariana Grande.

ive lived in japan for a year. and how is german one of the hardest languages? it's probably the easiest language in europe next to spanish.

Or do you like your women with more 'experience'? >>Openly xenophobic oh lord. How is this bad?
English teachers basically make minimum wage in East Asia. The main government programs for foreigners in Japan (JET and ALT) place you out in the middle of fucking nowhere, far away from tokyo or osaka. Less than 1,000 out of 5,000+ placements are in the big cities. Private schools in the big cities are all connections and nepotism. Trust me, I've researched this

I want to live in Tokyo cause it's fun as hell. And the countryside is indeed beautiful so I could always just take a train there.
Owen Williams
>population is literally declining so fast the government pays for blind dating en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_by_birth_rate The native populations of almost all developed countries are below replacement rate. Japan is at the same level as Italy, only slightly higher than Finland, Norway, the UK or the US. And keep in mind that the birthrates of those Western countries include immigrants popping out 6 children per woman unlike Japan's statistics. By 2100 Japan will have ghost cities but it will still be culturally, politically and ethnically Japanese. Meanwhile Europe will look like the Middle East or Africa while the US turns into the United States of Mexico. Hell, it's possible that once the country gets a little emptier the lower housing prices will actually incentivize family growth. The West will never have that opportunity because our population is only growing through mass migration. >suicide rates higher than practically any other country Japan is barely in the top 30, just above the US and some European countries. If you look at the male ranking it turns out that men in the US actually kill themselves more often than the Japanese men, it's just that Japanese women are much more suicidal than American women.
>A continent with centuries of history and 500+ million people will get taken over by a few illiterate camel fuckers This is what Jow Forumstards actually believe.

Shut the fuck up weeb. Japan is dying, and its a fact.
Carter Stewart
Holy shit. How oblivious do you have to be to think this way?
Just go to Japan or China and see what they're actually like. They're more "westernized" than us. You're literally a meme.
Elijah Evans
This thread is pretty hilarious and just shows how out of touch you idiots are from what Japan is really like since you're basing everything on specific kinds of media. There are certainly some nice aspects about the culture and their lives there, but they also deal with a lot of bullshit like anyone else. You guys and your runaway fantasies of how different your lives would be over there make me laugh. Guess what, you'd most likely be at the bottom of the totem pole there just as you are in your current situation.
And working there for a Japanese company in any kind d of remotely well-paying job is not fun at all. Infidelity rates are also really high. You'd most likely be getting cucked, and most modern Japanese women aren't anything like you're idealizing.
Luis Wood
Stop being a fucking retard. No Japanese ''resent'' white people, they practically worship them.
Jeremiah Diaz
Anime is a pile of shit, actually. Only mecha was caring the genre in 80's/90's now its nothing but Moe crap.
US produces best fucking movies and entertaiment on the planet.

Nicholas Brown
Honestly better to go to Tobita Shinchi and pay 16,000 yen to fuck a model tiered younger girl instead of the uglier girls at pink salons that just give BJs in dirty booths. Spent 5 days in Tobita Shinchi with a different girl each day, and it was definitely worth it.

In Japan they make 800-1000 yen per hour ($8-10)

Hunter Jenkins
Taken over? Native Europeans aren't having children. All the camel fuckers need to do is wait for Europe to commit suicide and they can do it while living in taxpayer funded houses, eating taxpayer funded food and popping out more taxpayer funded camel fuckers. Really the only thing that could possibly stop this process is if those taxes ever dry up.

we're pretty much just talking about Japan right? Jow Forums has shown me no less than 20 different webms of Chinese "street-casual-child-murder" in just the last year. i dunno user.. the Salaryman ethic seems even less fun than american wageslaving.
honestly seems like whatever goods Japan maintains is due to the fact the country remains committed to remaining ethnically Japanese yeah. i'm jealous of that. the Aryan ethnostate didn't come together >t. volga German
Nolan Rodriguez
It's better pretty much only because there's no niggers and other shitskins parading around.
Ryder Taylor
If I had to guess I would say 90% of the people in this thread haven't been to Japan let alone lived there.
I think people have to come to terms with themselves and understand that living in Japan or being Japanese isn't going to solve all your problems. If you are loser here you're going to be a loser there. Japan isn't all it's cracked up to be and the West isn't as bad as people make it out to be.
Logan Perez
Yes but is this worth the 11+ hour workdays, tiny living spaces, packed roadways and public transit, casual infidelity, and unmalleable social hierarchy that starts to set in middle school though
Not even a rhetorical question, trying to figure this out for myself.

If by "Arayan" you mean "miscellaneous euromutt" state, then sorry, you're out of luck. German is an ethnicity, Irish is an ethnicity, "white" is not an ethnicity and "Arayan" hasn't been an ethnicity for thousands of years - you call them "poos" now.
Owen Gonzalez
problem with Japan is obvious. the waether is fucking abysmal and the women are frigid. they're very nationalistic, like the Japs were holding off their little island since the beginning of time, i'm referring to how they don't like emigrating out of there and a lot of is fear too.

Asian society has it has hard as everyone else. Being alive fucking sucks everywhere
John Sullivan
Why are you fucking retards incapable of nuance? In reality it's not either the perfect society nor the worst one. It has many positive aspects, such as low crime rate, good media and shows, beautiful landscape and good urbanisation of their cities etc. but the negative aspects such as high suicide rates, insane work pressure, the very cold and impersonal alienating society, aswell as the expensive life to live there make it a very hard but beautiful country. Get your heads out of your asses niggers.
I grew up in Japan and I will tell you they don't. If fact if anything I've learned is that we both have the same issues here and there. It's just a matter of give and take. >corporate culture in the United States is stifiling and dehumanizing >corporate culture in Japan means you're a drone who has to work with the team otherwise you're out >traffic is utter shit driving to work every day packed in with everyone else known as I4 >commuting into town on the Tozai line like I had to was utter hell on Earth being in a train that operated at 200%+ capicity and had to have oshiya >rent and food are overpriced in the us >electric bill is 4x of that or the United States and everything but food and rent is grossly overpriced >community is gone due to people isolating themselves out of fear of their fellow man >in Japan community is dying as more young people isolate themselves from others and only old people maintain social fabric of local community
It's really give and take everywhere has their problems but at least Japan's problems are nowhere as bad and I feel happy I could consider then problems.
Chase Mitchell
>community is dying yeah i think internet and media killed this.
Christian Long
I wouldn't say entirety so. Here in America it's mostly the fear that parents drive into their kids and don't let them play outside. So why even care about your neighbors right? In Japan this divide usually happens in early adulthood instead of childhood here.
Dominic Garcia
People see Japan's economy culture and women and extrapolate that to the rest of Asia. Most of Asia is 3rd world, corrupt, restrictive backwards and xenophobic.

It's just weebs fetishizing everything Japanese because their brains have melted from excessive anime consumption. The best thing Japan has (or had) going for it was their xenophobia which has helped preserve their culture far better than western nations but it'll succumb to globalization like the rest of the developed world.

>Not as much pressure on young guys to move out asap , feminism having little impact, no retarded puritan influence when it comes to sex, no glorification of guns and violence, etc. Those are almost limited to America, except for feminism. There are plenty of western cultures that allow for multi-generational living, plenty that don't have a gun culture, and I'm not even sure what you are saying about puritan sex values. America is so loose about sex these days due to the rise of feminism and sexual revolution movements.

>if you are anything but japanese they will silently resent you, good fucking luck getting a japanese 3d waifu Not true, most Japanese people will fall to the extremes of the spectrum where they either quite like foreigners, or hate them (or outside of major cities, have literally no contact and thus no opinion on westerners). They do hate other Asians though. >>depressing shut-in culture, everybody is extremely formal (and thats to other japs, imagine being white) The vast majority of people aren't shut-ins. Yes, they are a very large minority, but still a minority. Hikkikomori/NEET only gets so much attention because even at ~1% of the population being so unproductive is quite problematic for any country, let alone one with such a focus on work culture as Japan. Basic politeness isn't being "extremely formal". It's normal for two strangers to start talking in polite language, but even acquaintances will talk in casual language, barring other social barriers like an age/gender/social class gap. >>large cost of living for a tiny cell in the city, most land has been owned for generations I paid less rent for my cell in Tokyo, 10 minutes from one of the major stations, than I did for a shitty suburban flat 20 minutes by bus to the city center in my country. If you are willing to live in a small space, it's very affordable. >their anime is top-tier but they will either burn out and crash as a society or degenerate like the west 99% of Japs don't give a shit about anime. The most common complaint against foreigners I heard in Japan was that they all want to talk about anime all the time.
Logan Morgan
Hiragana and Katakana is really not that hard, I can easily distinguish now whether a character is hiragana, katakana, or kanji. Lots of Japanese people don't even know that much kanji because their computers and phones create kanji for them.
I like the idea of a culture being more formal with distinguished rules that you know to follow rather than having this way of talking where everybody creates their own personal rule system and gets pissed off when other people don't speak to them the way they want them to. In this system, everybody just has one set of rules to follow that you all are aware of and expected to abide by.
Lucas Reyes
never lived or traveled to any asian countries outside of korea but i enjoyed my time there. its dif though since i was just there for a short time and im korean myself. its a lovely country to have fun in but unless youre well off its pretty shit to live
Nathan Smith
I'm sorry, you're telling me... That if I lived in Japan the government would PAY A GIRL TO GO OUT WITH ME!
Yeah that sounds like a terrible place to live lmao.
Japan literally has the second largest sex industry per capita in the entire world surpassed only by Spain. Twice as many men in Japan have slept with a prostitute as in the US and they spend four times more money on prostitutes per person there despite the fact that hookers are 2-3 times cheaper per hour than American hookers are.
So basically, Japanese men are banging prostitutes at 8-12 times the rate that American men are. That along with body pillows and sex robots, yeah Japan is not the sexual wasteland that you're acting like it is. But Japanese society doesn't require you to be a confident douchey fuckbro in order to have sex like US society does.
