Anonymous Coward User ID: 48636885 United Kingdom 02/23/2021 09:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Japan is a deeply damaged place since 1945. Now add to that the idea that individuality is a bad trait and one should work together as a group. And this is taught through parenting and in school. Now you have isolated individuals and you are wondering why they would be suicidal? Social cohesion has been lost. Already prior to Covid-19, Japanese men were not dating Japanese women and the latter faced becoming old maids approaching 40 with zero prospects of being a wife and much less a mother. This is what extinction looks like. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77648389 United States 02/23/2021 10:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Japan Appoints "Minister Of Loneliness" After Disturbing Rise In 'Social Distancing Era' Suicides Quoting: Don Draper from Nantucket [link to www.zerohedge.com (secure)] Japan like many other developed nations witnessed an alarming rise in suicides or attempted suicides over this past year of pandemic shutdowns and social distancing measures. The country was already at crisis levels even before the pandemic (though generally on a downward trajectory the prior decade), with recent studies showing it to be "the leading cause of death in men among the ages of 20-44 and women among the ages of 15 to 34." To tackle the crisis, especially in the midst of this COVID-induced period of greater social isolation, Japan's government has appointed a "Minister of Loneliness" after the UK became the first country to establish such a position in 2018. The most recent numbers cited in Japanese media reports say that 879 women killed themselves in the country during the month of October, a figure that marks a whopping 70% increase compared to the same month from 2019. Officials have noted that the pandemic and oftentimes mandated social distancing measures have appeared to have a harsher impact on women. According to Japan Times, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga earlier in the month appointed as the new Minister of Loneliness a 70-year old veteran politician named Tetsushi Sakamoto. It is a cabinet level position which aims to alleviate social isolation among citizens. :havefun: |

So many experts here on GLP, gawd bless you. Long lines of depressed Japanese grasping their addictive phones, shuffling up Mt. Fuji to end their lives. If Aokigahara won't get you, Fukushima might. Well, at least we wear our masks at all times. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 68965544 United States 02/23/2021 10:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Japanese women aren’t as interested nor willing for sex! They may like sex at certain times, yet, they are not interested in sex. The man equally isn’t driven by sex and companionship. They work a lot. It’s a society built on accomplishment! It’s all about the “me”, not “We”. They have a high daydream quality about them. Meaning they think more about the perfect life, then engaging to find it. It’s their life and culture. I won’t say it’s good or bad. It’s theirs and I respect that. You also have people, like in the USA, that choose not to have children because they can’t afford it. Respect! I couldn’t do it, but they seem to thrive. Good for them. I spent 2 years in Okinawa. A beautiful people and culture! |

You are weak if you have addiction problems. You are weak if you loose your job or your business fails. There is no help for people who need help. I saw two suicides last year. I found a man lying on the pavement after he jumped from a block of flats. I saw an old lady jump in front of a train and her body bounced off and went through a platform shop window. There is a great cull going on, a satanic cull. Untill we get off our assess and fight back this shit is only going to get worse. |
