  • I’ve put a fair bit of effort into trying to understand the Japanese perspective, because as a northerner it frankly displays an odd contrast of values to me, being extremely sexually liberal, while also holding firm to tradition and social responsibility. It appears to me as though they manage this by maintaining quite clear social boundaries regarding empathy for each other’s individual perspective, and so they don’t appreciate when things which hold a strong sentimental place in many people’s hearts, such as the master of anime’s unique style, or a Shinto shrine in a popular video game, are portrayed in an uncharitable light within the public sphere.

    ‘Political leadership’ doesn’t define reality. People are completely justified to assert rights even if they aren’t expressly approved by big daddy g’vmt. That is, in fact, exactly how most of the rights enshrined in law got there in the first place. The Magna Carta itself had to be forced upon the king through the threat of rebellion by the dukes.
