    I was in Japan last year. We went to a very secluded but still pretty well known village and stayed at a guest house. On our last day 2 American couples came, the silence which was present and the calm and relaxing environment immediately disappeared. They were loud, invasive and frankly just dumb. One of them started talking to me and when I said I was from a former Yugoslavian country he IMMEDIATELY said “oh from the dictatorship land, glad we freed you guys, your welcome” I’m dead serious.

    I know not all Americans are like this, but 9/10 times my experience is just plain bad.

    ok but Japan is also evil. Like insanely evil. As early as the 2000s, families of Unit 731 victims were demanding they be held accountable for the war crimes and they dismissed the lawsuits. Europe is also insanely evil and actively protects Israel.

      Thiago Ávila and the Flotilha were kidnapped by Israel, when they were by the Greek coast, meaning EU waters. So they basically granted Israel right to do whatever it wants in EU territory.

      It is a big sign of what you mentioned and it is also one more evidence that people are out there agitating through mass line orgs against US imperialism.

      Hopefully, this trend will keep getting stronger now that the ugliness of the US empire is transparent for everyone to see.
