Until You See It For Yourself....Japanese ARE Trying to have Democracy

Japan has never been an easy place to understand. That may be a major understatement, but it is important to remind ourselves of that fact from time to time. If you have not noticed, Japan is unique even in Asia. Attempts at democracy are not the norm in Asia. Most of Asia has been, and still is, under the control of some form of directorship or fascist government often pretending to be socialist or communist. The closest thing to socialism any nation in Asia has would be Vietnam. Yet, even in Vietnam the process has had setbacks. Yet, here in Japan the people have been giving democracy the "old college try" since the post war days.

I know...we see all the massive corruption, lies, gang connections and total disconnect the government of Japan displays on a daily basis and we think to ourselves; "There is no democracy in this nation." That is easy enough to think and say. It is easy to see things that way because most people do not see the people of Japan fight for their rights and stand up for democracy. So many foreigners see the Japanese as meek defeated people who have decided to lay down and take it up the ass from their government. If you see the Japanese in such a manner, then it is very clear that you have not been paying attention.

I often wonder these days what is it everyone expects from the Japanese people on a daily basis. Do people want them to be loud, rude, direct and generally hostile to everyone they meet? I have done plenty of that in my life and I know the results of such a lifestyle. American style of rebellion is not the same as Japanese rebellion. Yes! Japan has a different culture and different history! They don't go about their daily lives in the same manner at people in the west do. Yeah, a lot of them want to scream and shout at all the ugly they see everyday. I am sure under all that sternness and seriousness there is a wild rebel begging to come out. Most Japanese have been brainwashed. You MUST understand that! It took me a long time to understand that fact. Until I did realize there has been some major brainwashing which has went down in this nation, I used to think Japanese are meek people as well.

But...times they are a changing...


An every growing number of Japanese people are getting pissed the fuck off. So angry in fact that can can no longer hold their peace about it. I know this because I have been right there with them. Do you wanna see what I am talking about? Here take a look and tell me what you think.







So that is what I have seen. Yes! I am the one filming and uploading those videos you may or may not have seen before. Times they are a changing in Japan. These people are not meek nor are they defeated. It just took them a long time, and the right major event to happen, to help them to get pissed off enough to take to the street and demand democracy work in their favor.

"Most Japanese have been brainwashed" - I'd say that is true everywhere, it's just easier to see it as an outsider than you can in your own culture.

I really hope the anti-nuclear demonstrations bring about change :)

This is very true. The level of brainwashing in America, at the hands of the government, drove me damn near insane. I spend a time in America in which I could not handle talking to my fellow Americans. For about two years I had a very small exclusive circle of people around me. It took me some time to reintegrate into American society. When I did, I could not stand to live there anymore. So, I had a chance to get of the states and I took it. After living in Japan for several years now, I have come to understand that Japanese society has similar problems. Yet, it appears that we are living in an age of revolution. People all over the world are taking to the streets demanding that government listen to them and serve their will. It is an exciting and dangerous time to be alive.
Definitely. And a scare like March 3 last year is something that does make people get out of their rut and realise life is too short to just cruise along and keep your mouth shut.

It has been a huge wake up call for everyone living in Japan. The fighting spirit has been renewed within the hearts of many Japanese people. They have seen their government for what it is and they are very very angry about what has been done to them.
Aaaah...just a little more anger and we could smell the sweetness of "Revolution"

No more cows lead to the slaughter...mindless drones...RAISE UP PEOPLE!!!

Time to shine!!

The Japanese people are getting more and more angry at their government. If the police keep asking like they did at the July 6th protest, things might get ugly real quick. Japan has never experience this type of revolution before. They are walking on very new ground. It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out.
Ugly is just what the media loves...bring some "ugly" the media will follow and the news media pushes the topic along with the protesters.

I'm hoping it gets just a bit ugly for the sake of the cause
That is bad for them and I think that they are able to have democracy if they are ale to become one. Thanks for sharing this information.

The people of Japan are starting to learn how to fight their government. They need help on how to do this great task. We should help them I think.
