Alright /trv/, give it to me straight.
I have spent the last 7-ish years working in London. I've come to realise that the general culture in the UK is pretty shit. I once appreciated it for being less of a police state than the US, less neo-liberal than Canada, less authoritarian than Australia and generally more level-headed than the rest of the world (or at least I thought it was), but I was slow to truly realise that the UK is a dark, dystopic, jaded shithole cucked at the soul.
Lack of any real activities to do aside from drinking, moronic "banter" culture that reduces everything to a joke, infatuation with brown immigrants since imperial times, the subliminal pressure to participate in neolib uni normalfag culture and humiliation rituals. The entire country feels like one giant primary school - the nanny state, laws on what you're allowed to say, everything from media to advertisement effectively just privatized propaganda.
Now compare it to Japan. I truly believe Japan is one of the last few remaining decent places on this earth compared to other destinations people escape to. Polite, clean, inoffensive, efficient. Everything just works. Machines for everything. They’re grown up - 4chan isn't filtered on mobile data networks. Bars don’t have bouncers. More to do. So I want to do the Working Holiday visa towards the end of this year and live there for one or two years.
