Do you think Japan/Anime/Manga industry will bend the knee?

@Captain_Cronos While I am not denying the attempt by bad actors trying to force a Great Reset, I’m not about to black pill and say it’s going to happen. Too many people, imho, are just ready to black pill and accept it’s going to happen. I think people are too ready to black pill on everything these days, and in doing that they kill a part of themselves needed to keep fighting. The bastards are going to try, but I just think that human spirit will overcome in the end, because enough people will not bow down and bend the knee.
The Marxists’ iron grip on holding the pendulum in place is weakening. It will swing back the other way and this shit will change. It’s not going to be tomorrow or next month, but it’s coming.
I always say the normies are a tanker. Tankers take a long time to turn around, and the normie tanker is more than halfway turned around right now.
It really depends on the state of Japan’s own culture.
From an outside perspective, it seems Japan has a mix of both of liberal and conservative values. Most Japanese youth seem to have more liberal attitudes towards social issues compared to their elders, but the kind of long march through the institutions that has occurred in the West hasn’t taken place in Japan, so Japanese millennials haven’t been conditioned to loathe their own country and chant for its destruction. They seem to at least honor their ancestors, their history and their traditions.
But that doesn’t mean Japanese leftists don’t exist. Every now and then I do hear of small groups of activists going after Japan’s Imperial past, or even the more… unusual parts of anime/manga culture. Usually these people left Japan at a young age, came to America, got completely indoctrinated by Marx’s theories, then return home with the idea that their own homeland is now super-problematic and needs to change. Only they are hardly the blue-haired, nasal-pierced, screeching banshees we’re so familiar with, but rather cloak all the same ideological talking points in a vein of pseudo-intellectualism so they appear reasonable.
It’s easy to dismiss them and think they won’t get anywhere, but look where we are now after spending decades ignoring our own unhinged crazies. You can’t really underestimate them. Most normal-thinking people give up on their political activism when they realize the majority of people aren’t interested in changing anything, but you have to give Leftists credit: They are utterly tireless and will relentlessly pursue any means they can to achieve their goals, even if it takes them their whole lives and might not even live to see the results. That’s just how committed they are.
Of course, I’m just saying all of this based on what I’ve observed. If anyone’s been to or lives in Japan, and is more intimately familiar with Japanese politics, feel free to chip in.
Japanese culture, and by extension anime/manga, will likely not go woke and self-hating anytime soon: It’s a demoralization process that takes many generations. The powers-that-be infiltrated and undermined Western culture decades ago because they saw white Europeans as the biggest obstacle to their plans for total world domination. But it probably hasn’t escaped their attention that Japanese media has become very popular due to the decline of Western media (which they have had a hand in thanks to their army of useful idiots). When European countries eventually implode, East Asians are likely next on the chopping block.
I wasn’t trying to black pill, that’s exactly what I think will happen. I really hope I’m wrong but I always have seen the big picture of things since 2006. The start of an Orwellian world isn’t just social justice as you are only looking at. Look at how many people fell for the scamdemic and have taken the vaccine. If you really think the “pendulum is going to swing the other way”, you’re living in the same blind optimism that led to all these problems happening in the first place. I’m not saying to live in nihilism but know things haven’t gotten really bad yet.
It’s not built in to the Japanese culture to cow tow to this SJW crap. They have politeness already built in their speech, but that only goes so far. You will, and already have, get a big backlash if this SJW crap is forced on them. The entire reason Anime and Manga is outperforming everything else is BECAUSE it isn’t full of identity politics/SJW hogwash. People are sick of being preached at and scolded continually from a ONE SIDED ideology in every facet of their lives now.
It’s enough with this mindwash already.
