>>511147705 (OP)Japan uniquely managed to preserve its traditional culture while embracing modernity and industrialization, to a degree that I havenโt seen replicated in any other country. They managed to maintain their language, culture, religion, and people, while also obtaining prosperity. That being said, cracks were beginning to form, the 90s zombie economy, toxic work culture, literally the birthplace of anime and hitherto unseen autism, and liberalism and zog work tirelessly to ensure Japan lets in as many Somalis as possible, so a backlash was inevitable. But Japan and its long term ruling party have done liberalism better than anyone else, but itโs problems and contradictions are ultimately intractable.
