25 years ago, maybe.

Now, seeing protest after protest while the Trump administration does whatever it wants EVEN HARDER is like watching the opposing team in Air Bud wring their hands about the rulebook while a fucking golden retriever dunks on them over and over.

Peaceful protests are feeding demoralization and making things worse, not better.

Fuck OFF. You know exactly what to do- it’s what your countrymen did, more than once, when they accomplished the things all of you have spent a couple centuries loudly taking credit for.

Do you think there weren’t colonists who were worried that rebellion would cost them their livelihoods? Do you think your grandparents fought the Nazis risk-free? You aren’t special. Your shitty job that you hate isn’t special. They were real people- you understand that, right? Everyone who ever stood up for anything consequential had plenty to lose.

For as long as I live, I never want to hear another American crowing about their oh-so-grand revolutionary spirit. But, sure, whatever- wait until your country decides to invade us and hope that we’ll take action since you spent three decades watching with your thumbs up your asses and failing to do anything while the rest of us accurately explained to you precisely what was going to happen.

Proclaim that they are “appalled.” Just, you know. That.

This is why, unless you plan on running for office, you don’t naturalize in Japan. You’re forced to renounce your first citizenship and after doing so you’re still considered a foreigner for all practical purposes. You become effectively nationless, regardless of your passport or what it says on paper.

Good for these citizens, but there is less than zero public pressure on officials to change these shitty policies/procedures.

“It’s not racism, it’s just that (insert the most racist thing you’ve ever heard in your life).”
