“Think about it,” he said. “Why is China stalling so bad economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia?”
“Because they’re xenophobic,” he said. “They don’t want immigrants.”
Show me what he said that was incorrect.
Japan has never welcomed immigrants, and they’ve been hovering on the brink of recession since 1990. Of the three countries he mentioned, Japan is probably suffering the most economically because of their lack of immigrant labor (while China and Russia are suffering for other reasons in addition to their lack of immigrants).
This is one thing I actually like about Biden: He sometimes says weird shit out loud that’s not actually wrong, but isn’t something that people in politics will ever say for obvious reasons.
E.g. the interview where he said we might have to get rid of Erdogan, or the thing of if you support Trump “you ain’t black,” or this. It is the honest version of “He tells it like it is!” that idiots say about Trump. He really does just open his mouth sometimes and some weird honest shit comes out. It’s very unusual for a politician.
The fact that the majority of your mouth breathing is removed…I’m sure you spend all your time with like minded people you call cousin and sister in the same breath.
Stop consuming so much media, makes you look very stupid.
How on earth did you grow up believing that people that look similar at all think similar? Did you grow up in a safety bubble? A padded room? Have you ever been outside once in your entire life? Did you climb out of a time machine from the 1600s? Lmfao.

Prediction: I will look over your account’s history, and within the first few pages I will see:
- Concern for issues which can be directly translated into “and that’s why we shouldn’t vote for Biden”
- Super-generic expression of economic opinions “I dislike capitalism,” probably in meme form
… and nothing else. You won’t be concerned about Boeing, or Ticketmaster, or avian flu or climate change (except insofar as climate change can be directly connected to Biden).
Maybe I am wrong. This is just my prediction, based on you suddenly wanting to shoehorn Gaza into a topic that has nothing to do with it, and having no other thoughts on either Japan or Biden, the things that were previously being discussed that had nothing to do with Gaza.
(And, by the way, I think genocide is bad and Biden is bad for abetting it, if you’re wondering.)
Brb, checking
Edit: Looks to me like I was more or less right. Also, “Nothing made me smile more than watching our boys in blue wreck those scumbag commies” is not a phrase that any human being in the history of the world has ever spoken in real life.
He’s not committed any. He and Congress have done too much to enable it. That is for sure. However our options currently are worse. I’m all for replacing them with something better. Get back to us with a solid plan. Something that won’t result in a phyric defeat. Enabling far worse people, just to Virtue signal.
Yeah, I’m having trouble identifying the falsehood. Japan’s awesome in many ways, but they still have a long way to go to combat xenophobia there.
Yeah, I read the headline and my first thought was “and? Japan is practically legendary for xenophobia”. Talk with literally anyone who doesn’t look Japanese who has spent any time in Japan and they’ll have at least one story of a time they were discriminated against for not “being Japanese” even if they’ve lived there their entire lives. They’re usually fairly polite about it, but they’re absolutely xenophobic (with a healthy dose of low key racism).
Japan is one of those countries I’d really like to visit at some point, but as a 6’3" white dude, I know full well I’m gonna stick out like a sore thumb and almost certainly be on the receiving end of some xenophobia there. That’s fine, I can deal with it, and there are so many awesome things to see and do in Japan that I’m confident the experience would be extremely positive, but it’s still something on my mind.
It’s an ozma post. It isn’t about facts or accuracy. It’s about attacking biden as much as possible. Pushing accelerationism, with the purpose of getting more people hurt. Rather than actually helping anyone.
If you assume that they actually do want to end the genocide and make things better. You’d be hard pressed to find a way to go about it worse than they have. Alienating people who would otherwise be allies.
Every once in awhile they post an article that I can sort of get behind. But I don’t feel that I can up vote it simply because of who they are.
