@ryo @ArdainianRight @cee How many Japanese people are waking up though? A lot of westerns are waking up to the fact that all their politicians are puppets. I never hear anything coming from Japan. At least according to James Corbett (who lives in Japan), most Japanese just go with the flow and don't question anything. How many Japanese are even aware what libertarianism is?
At least from what I've heard, most South Koreans are aware that all their politicians are puppets. South Koreans are probably more based than we thought.

>But in general Japan has a super-conformist mindset.
Which will backfire once your government becomes corrupt because nobody will question anything or stand up. It's one of the main talking points I plan on including in that article.
@ArdainianRight @cee Japan has the worst gun control I've seen (outside of countries that ban all fire arms for public use). They literally have government officials interview your family members every few years in order for you to own firearms.
And people forget that Japan was embracing LGBT themes in media long before the west. Lesbians in Sailor Moon immediately comes to mind.
@cee I actually plan on writing it from a cultural right wing perspective because I see more right-wing people talk about how "based" Japan is.
@cee Japan has a lot of Australia (no offense to you)-tier laws and most of the people there are compliant, unquestioning sheep. And Japan is not the video games and anime wonderland that weebs make it look out to be. That shit is still frowned upon in public just like in the west.
@ryo I hope they get somewhere with this.

Video of my #MCH2022 talk about #LibResilient and an idea for decentralized, community CDNs is online:

> Where different organizations, different website operators, can help each other out by hosting assets for each others' websites, thus spreading the load across many orgs in solidarity, instead of centralizing it in gatekeepers.

@Reinhard I don't think they actually work anymore. Last time I checked they require you to connect to some online service that was discontinued back in 2009.
