Probably just ironic humour.
People in Japan still have access to search engines and have brains.
Theres something about this sentiment that slightly scares my very soul.
Remember the cinnamon challenge? It was just like a handful of weirdos doing it and in international news, they said it was average Americans because of our underfunded education system.
Shoot, that's an understatement. The Japanese people I've read online and met in person tended to be a whole lot more educated than the average Joe. Their education system seems pretty solid.
Does Japan not have the fervent anti intellectualism that we have in the US with our right wing? And it's not in bed with racism to fuck public education together?
No doubt they're somewhere, but I've never come across those people online or in person.
