Last year the U.S. experienced something that hasn’t definitively occurred since the Great Depression: More people moved out than moved in. The Trump administration has hailed the exodus—negative net migration—as the fulfillment of its promise to ramp up deportations and restrict new visas. Beneath the stormy optics of that immigration crackdown, however, lies a less-noticed reversal: America’s own citizens are leaving in record numbers, replanting themselves and their families in lands they find more affordable and safe.
Now you’ve moved to Japan, with its rising far right politics
Eh, that’s mostly sensationalization by Western media. According to my Japanese friends, the new government is quite moderate and the issues are a lot more nuanced than the headlines imply.
Still better than living in a country with an active fascist government.
I mean, at least Japan’s fascist government would likely be a functioning one.
Japan’s just lagging behind, they recently elected a reaganite/thatcherite to implement austerity policies. Fascism will soon follow, and they’re no stranger to it.
Give Japan time.
