Not just Islam, but Japan is also cracking down on Mainland Chinese. Not banned outright, but the Japanese are making things a lot more difficult. The public demanded change and Takaichi listened.
Japan has a different solution to their demographic problem. They have collectively decided to move to tech rather than trying to solve it by immigration. They have carefully watched what has happened in the West and the Japanese public have collectively said hell no. Will their AI driven technical solution work? Only time will tell. But what the Japanese say is that if they are going to disappear, they will do it as Japanese and not something else.
The video you sent about China and Islam is very good.
Are you talking about Lei's video on the Islamic regime and the CCP? That was really good. I like Lei's videos. Her analysis is spot on.
Yes, Lei's video. It is very spot on.
I heard one very important piece of info there. Economic and financial played a very major role for the revolt.
It's usually always a very common catalyst and a spark to start a color revolution. Economic dissatisfaction then morphs into political dissatisfaction leading to revolution. Same thing happened in Russia. It started out as protests by moms over the lack of bread.
That's what I caught as the bottom line.
Good for them.
And yes, every other country ON EARTH should do whatever is needed to remove ISLAM from their borders.
One of the things working in Japan's favor is that Islam has not established a strong foothold, especially within government. It is not easy to obtain Japanese citizenship, unlike here where we just hand it out to anyone that fills the form out. Therefore, foreign born individuals don't have a lot of say on policy. So, Japan is nipping their immigration problem early on in the process unlike the West where it has established roots over time. The Japanese also have a very proud cultural identity they fiercely protect. In the US, people have different ideas about American identity. Hell, some people can't even identify the difference between a man and a woman much less what an American is.
this is all theater. none of that is being enforced. I travel to Japan every year and can tell you the past 3 years difference is stark and not slowing down in any way by any stretch of the imagination
I know people living in Japan and they would beg to differ with you. But yes, it has gotten out of control over the last several years and the Japanese are not happy about it. Their dissatisfaction has been playing out on the political scene. There has been a shift in Japan's trajectory on several fronts because of actions taken by Takaichi's government.
It will take time to roll some of this back. It will not happen overnight - but it is happening. I am hearing it especially from the Chinese - some of whom are in a panic. There are mainland Chinese that have already been forced to leave Japan because of the new visa restrictions. Visa enforcement has led to deportations for visa violators. Whether the recent crackdowns are simply theater or actual lasting change remains to be seen. But so far it appears that Japan is serious. They have tightened business visa requirements that has already caused some to self deport before they are forced out and not allowed to return. It will take Japan time to review older visas, but it is being done.
Muslim communities have recently tried to play the discrimination card in the international press to gain global sympathy because of what the Japanese government is doing to them and their communities. That press may not have the same impact in Japan like it does in the West. Right now it doesn't appear like it does. So things are happening and the Muslims are not happy about it.
The Japanese do have problems with their demographics that has forced them to import labor just like other developed countries. Completely clearing out the country from foreigners is not going to happen. That would bring Japan's economy to its knees. Some businesses have been forced to either shut down or drastically scale down production due to the labor shortages. So while they deal with how they handle immigration to answer the immediate labor shortages, they are simultaneously making attempts to be more selective on who comes into the country along with reviewing those who is already there. Meanwhile, the Japanese government are also taking a gamble on tech to solve the labor problem. So much so that they are willing to invest billions of Yen into that gamble that has yet to be been proven out on the scale they are envisioning.
I hear your point and it is valid. It takes time to turn a ship around. So we will see going forward whether this was just a short term crackdown to appease the public or whether Japan can actually change their trajectory; a trajectory that we know from our own experience with undesirable immigration outcomes, doesn't end well. I will continue to monitor this space closely.
Sadly this is not (yet) true. Hopefully they will get there.
Will probably happen soon.
35 ancient Japanese temples have mysteriously burned down recently. It doesn’t take a genius to understand who did it.
35? Wow.
Can their mosques be burned too?
I LOVED, "The Very Hard to Build" bit. As a builder/ developer it puts a smile on my face when the tables are TURNED. Go Japan. Battles can be won with ENDLESS RED tape instead of green tape.
Oh yes.
No, we should go MUCH further.
One act of harassment? Deported. One act of violence? Execution. Rape? We will mutilate you while you live so that it hurts the entire time you're dying. No call to prayer. No mosque. No identity consealing head coverings.
You are hard. I love it.
Mosques must be banned. They are conquered territory that Islam considers sovereign. Why let the enemy install outposts for the purpose of a slow invasion?
Otoya Yamaguchi is a hero, he single handedly stopped communism from gaining a foothold in Japan.
I have heard that's where they organized. It's like their command centers.
The fucking "call to prayer" is a seriously suicidal soundtrack
Oh, I hate those with a vengeance.
