Birthed on YouTube during the Covid-19 pandemic spreading conspiracy theories about vaccinations and a cabal of global elites, the party broke into mainstream politics with its “Japanese First” campaign.
Are there even people that really want to move to Japan? Its rather famous for being exclusionary to the point of making our western xenophobes blush. It seems that when I do read about people wanting to move it is someone who has some fascination with Japan itself; rather than the economic benefits like the US.
I wouldn’t mind living on one of the depopulated islands in the south
I want to live in a little 5x8’ coffin pod in Tokyo.
The country is beautiful and I would honestly enjoy it there. Their economy and xenophobia (and, realistically, language too) definitely stops me from ever moving there.
Also there’s always an infinite supply of weeaboos available.
Yeah I’d love to live there but I’ve seen enough between the xenophobia and work culture to turn me off.
