If you think America is bad, you really need to look more into Japanese Black Companies. They really take the cake on toxic work cultural. Imagine being socially obligated to get black out drunk with your boss.
‘If you think America is bad’ is wholly unnecessary when you consider that socialized healthcare hardly exists, public education is a living corpse of severely underpaid teachers, mass shootings (I’ve been in one), mandatory cost of car ownership, and so many other fucked up things.
I’m not saying that Japan is a good place to live, because it has a myriad of it’s own problems and I personally wouldn’t want to live there. I just think we should give people some credit for the shit Americans put up with too.
My boyfriend is in nursing school, and they have some sort of program where you can move there and get a house for cheap, if not free. I’m sure they’re not great houses and would need some work done, but still a great deal. We considered it for a hot minute…
But then I started thinking about that stuff, and did some more research into what it’s like to move there. Some really awesome aspects to it, but I think we are gonna pass.
Meanwhile Japanese people, for all their faults, put a fucking mask on when they get a cold because that’s seen as a decent thing to do.
Yes, but they’re still expected to come into work even when they’re ready to fall over.
Sounds like America then

If it weren’t for the work culture, I would love to live in Japan.
And the racism
That’s true, they hate us*.

yeah. it’s a cultural norm. I don’t want that norm. I want actually thinking as the norm, not tying a rag on your face for cultural reasons.
Imagine believing consideration for people around you is not “actually thinking”
