I’m curious about your stories. In my other thread about thinking of moving to Japan because of their population decline people suggested communist countries. I personally don’t consider it at the moment because, to my knowledge, they have a stable population growth so my housing issue wouldn’t be easier to resolve. Nevertheless, I’m eager to listen to your stories. :)
I live in Japan and have been here for over 28 years. Also I am a nominal members of the Kyosanto (Japanese communist party). I attend rallies and have communist posters hanging outside the house.
Study hard, you can do it. Japan has a rightwing shithead government at the moment but kids are waking up here and hopefully we can change things.
Hey, another Japan comrade. Didn’t expect to see many of us here, though I have only been here about 15 years myself. I am pretty hopeful about the trends towards the future, as people are increasingly disenfranchised with the shitty LDP.
僕も！
ヨロピク!
ども、パイセン！
いや、今のギャグは本当にレベル高いですよね 感動しました。 ご苦労サンバ
I gotta be honest, i don’t understand that reference 草, my Japanese skills are still elementary. “ご苦労サンバ” lead me to a song, but probably I need some cultural context to get it.
Just a terrible pun. Gokurosama (hord work has been done!) Vs gokurosamba (hard work has been what samba dancing?!)
It’s such a stupid joke
Also instead of お疲れ様でした you can throw out an equally stupid gag カツカレー山でした～ and then feel sorry for your interlocutor
I love humor that throws you off, definitely using the カツカレー one irl, even though I might end up looking like an idiot.
isn’t kyosanto rather revisionist
I dunno. My city has communist members in city council and they’re working like hell on all the issues that I agree with. Anti war, pro LGBTQ, fund the schools, stop the goddamn tax, they are nerdy and old and I love them all.
well, kyosanto actually once celebrated the fall of the USSR and has rather sour relations with the CPC
My comrades here are 70+ years old. Holding rallies in front of 10 people at the train station. I don’t care about any historical indescrections or leftist infighting at this point. The alternative here is what? Naw, cant be bothered with that stuff at this point. We work together as communists to change the political landscape. That’s it.
Interesting you say this, I thought Japanese people were all about “The nail that sticks out will be hammered down”?
Also, Hikikomoris.
Nice! I’m getting more and more fedup with the country I’m currently in so I’ll definitely look into Japan more seriously as the time goes.
