i'm studying this, but apprently populism is a quite feeble "ideology"/"movement" though

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

indeed it is

[Eva 4]

because if the leaders fall

then the entire party

crumbles

just like UKIP

its an "ideology" that feeds on reaction to current events

and only exists in situations of crisis

Hello

[Eva 4]

without crisis, it can't work

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

indeed... far right,alt right,whatever you call it.. these ideologies,these beliefs,tend to show up during times of economic uncertainty

[Eva 4]

that's why populist leaders keep scaring people

[Eva 4]

yep

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

i'm adding in to what you said about crisis,btw

[Eva 4]

I just wish we'd be more to see the pattern

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

It's like how people think Japan is just "utterly conversative and void of politics"

When.. that's not the case

Japan does have a less conversative side

But this part is often silenced as the majority of the last generation is extremely conversative

OFten,this conversative side tends to try and push acts for "banning foreigners" etc

[Eva 4]

true, I'm really interested in studying Japanese society

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

A lot of current generation is genuinely trying to learn about other cultures..

we just don't know enough about it because they're often unreported by media

[Eva 4]

yep

[MiragedRoxas 5]

like I said this outright put my day to shit

learning about it

then knowing this

[Eva 4]

Tbh, I've idealized that country so much during my teen years, that as an adult today i'm eager to learn more on nuances in their society

[MiragedRoxas 5]

literally put my mood into a real bad one

[Eva 4]

I've been in a murderous mood since this morning

[Eva 4]

^^'

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

Same,tbh.. and I perfefctly understand that they're xenophobic andd racist in some aspectts,ya know?

[MeowWow 14]

I’ve been frustrated almost all day

Over this

[Eva 4]

@Amaterasu_1549906707 what do you mean?

[MiragedRoxas 5]

cuz for me, its personal level

of being attacked

my fellow muslim brothers and sisters

died

cuz of some dicktwat

[Amaterasu_1549906707 19]

@Eva Well... Keep in mind,japan is quite isolated,you know? And it's not thhey're fault,necessarily,of someties being afraid of outsiders..but,on the flipside.. you can get quite pleasant people while over there

so it can go both ways

And as i mentioned,the conversative side can be a bit racist

[Eva 4]

Yeah, it's a learned thing mostly

but new generations are changing
