.2% per year? So we should expect about 10% of people to be murdered by 50?
I was going to say .2% is better than I thought, but that’s pretty dire.
0.2 people, not percentage. That was what they were trying to straighten out because percent per 100k doesn't make sense.

Although Japanese rulers haven't always been very peaceful, their culture is known for being caring and respectful towards others:

Many people try to make Japan sound perfect, but they have a lot of problems:
https://archive.ph/0IoIQJapan lacks any law which prohibits racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karoshi
Of course still not as bad as the US, but I don't it is because of religion, it is more because of the two party system. Look at Singapore 18% Christians and they don't have that many problems.
In the end I believe most problems in all countries are because of human nature, not religion. Religion is just one of the excuses they use for the horrible things they commit.

Japan lacks any law which prohibits racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination.
I am aware, but the difference in people's view of Japanese people and people from US is astounding.
Agree with you and comment above, I don't believe there is causation. Two system is surely not helping to make US peaceful.

I do not trust any stats that come out of Japan in terms of homelessness. If there's a statistic that's embarrassing for Japanese society, you know damn well they're gonna try to cover it up with technicalities.
In Japan, the legal definition for someone who is homeless is: "those who use city parks, riverbanks, roads, train
stations and other facilities as their place of stay in order to live their daily lives."So that doesn't include living in your car, living in insecure housing, living in shelters, or living in internet cafés, of which in 2020 there were about 15,000 'net café refugees' in Tokyo alone.
Sooo yeah, Japan can claim to officially have a super low homeless population, because they've narrowed the definition so much that you have to literally be sleeping on the street for it to count.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]yeah they also fail to acknowledge the suicide rate or the amount of overtime or purchasing power of avg wages.
I'm not making any statements on any countries other than japan. but I'll add a message to american weebs: STOP FETISHIZING JAPAN

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yes the US need to get rid of the two party system. These years it is basically choosing who is less horrible than electing a good president. Both parties are corrupt. Japan also need to fix their laws they are vey misogynistic and racist, they also need to fix the work culture. No one in japan is having kids due their toxic work culture.
Japan really knows how to do PR, they make people think they are great, when in reality for many people Japan is an awful place to live in. Tourist is fine, but living there is horrible from what I heard.
From reddit on racism in japan, can't confirm if it is true, but won't be suprised it is.

Given the confluence of weeb culture and the alt-right (think incels and “traditionalists” with anime avatars, right-wing gamers pointing to Japan as a high-tech conservative utopia untouched by wokeness and such), it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would try to imagine a Japan that goes to Latin Mass.
Is that still a pervasive thought in today's culture about Japan? I understood back in the 90's when there was less exposure but I thought that reality kinda crumbled with the loss of high tech companies that actually give a damn anymore. I don't know of anyone that talks about "premier" Japan tech unless it's something from the past.

I've lived in three different major Japanese cities and see fewer people sleeping rough in a year than I can see in an hour in either Europe or the US.

So you genuinely believe Satan exists and has influence in the world? Where does he live under the Earths mantle?
Because that is entirely at odds with everything we know about reality.
You might want to look up what The Satanic Temple actually believes.

Look it's cool that you're in a philosophical moral club, but don't go around defending religion by calling yourself a religion and saying 'look at me as an example of a good religion' when you don't actually hold religious/supranatural beliefs.
And if you do hold such beliefs, don't claim you accept reality.
Look, I actually kind of agree. And this is why I will never call myself a Satanist.
However, I think it's foolish to ignore the work that the TST does in fighting for the separation of religion and government.

Japan tends to lurch forward, then be stagnant for large periods of time.

They also flub their murder rates. It's considered unclean to handle dead bodies, so autopsies aren't common and anything that could be ruled a suicide, is.

To be fair there is also the suicide rate.
Also what the fuck were they expecting, Japan to be some Christian paradise?

ICE thugs are already staking out churches in immigrant neighborhoods and abducting people as they come out, and Trump has made it legal for them to barge inside as well. I don't care what you think about religion, it's not funny to sic the American Gestapo on folks just trying to live their lives.
Don't target the immigrant neighborhood's churches, hit the rural ones 4 hours away from any major city. Just imagine the ice gestapo sending a convoy of agents out that far and getting nothing.

Literally 5.7 per 100 per 100,000.
Neither had cake nor ate it
As soon as you get to the "per 100" part you can stop. After that, it doesn't matter if it's per 100,000, per 8,759,016, or per 10.
So the fact that they mixed up something so basic makes you question the number entirely. Their point is valid, but undermined by their lack of basic math skills.
-
Your unhoused numbers are wrong. Those are the official "sleeping on the streets" numbers, which is not the same thing. First because they're official, and therefore almost certainly undercounting, and second because they exclude all of the situations where people don't have houses but are kinda not exactly in a cardboard box.
To be fair though it’s the ones living on the street that people choose to hate on as much as possible
