@beardalaxy Sick video, basically compacted 90% of what they teach in four years of college about Japanese government, religious, and societal history, into 90 minutes. Glad this guy did real research because other types of videos like this literally just read off of a Wikipedia page.

Japan is in a constant challenge the powers that be, whether it's the physical government or an idea of a higher power. And yeah, I think these struggles happen in every society in the world as well, but it really is interesting that with Japan and other East Asian nations, it goes back to the beginning of their recorded history.
