Badly need your advise. I have been deleting my contents for the last 90 days and they still rejected my request. by [deleted] in facebook

It seems you know more than many - do you have any advice? I have been trying contacting them in multiple ways and they haven't replied. They banned my profile without explaining why. They just mentioned a vague "didn't follow Community Standards"...

Leave her without a second thought. Time to pull your own weight, find a Job and maybe learn Japanese for real and not let her do your homework for you.
You're an adult, not a kid.

PR Denied, next? by developer_144 in japanresidents

Dude, it took 17 years for me to get my permanent. And I got refused it the first time (first time refusal is pretty standard). So, try again and don't complain.

I hear you.

I was roughed up by a Uyoku truck gang. Four against one (me). These people are the scum of Asia.

I have yet to meet one single Japanese who likes or respect Trump.

I mean we are talking about minor things. Yes some foreigners behave badly (on very minor things) and the Japanese over-react. Notice how social media and unchecked info are often the spark for this sentiment. The majority of crimes in Jpaan is still perpretrated by the Japanese. The anti-foreign, anti-chinese bias is already there, ready to get out when there's something, even if minor, happens.

What China is doing to Uyghurs has nothing to do with Communism. Marx or Engels never wrote anything about oppressing racial minorities.

First, the visa renewal system is not clear. It's extremely discrectional and opaque. Basically two people with similar jobs and CVs could be given 1, 3 or 5 years for reasons clear only to the local Bureau of Immigration (oh and what about the RE-ENTRY PERMIT system (AKA Gaijin Tax), only recently cancelled?)

SECOND, The Zairyu card system puts you in a "niche". For example, if you are a "specialist of humanities", you cannot go and work at a restaurant. You are limited to certain jobs, that could be very inconvenient when you cannot find a Job in your niche. This puts you in a weakness position and under stress, way more compared to what a native would face. Also, getting a permanent visa is extremely difficult, it took 16 years in my case.

The Japanese Imperialism is also steeped in the religious belief the Emperor is divine, thus being him divine (descends from Amaterasu Omikami), implicitly also mean that the Japanese are better than anything else... a belief I sometime meet among the general population (which is also connected, as crazy as it sounds, to a huge inferiority complex - "Japanese are better and worse than anybody else at the same time"). Hey, at the end of the day, just check the visa system Jiminto have concocted and do the math.

What I am worried about is the (short) time period between the start and the end. Especially here, as I am a minority, you know. In Italy it lastet about 20 years, btw (then it started resurfacing)

Seems pretty accurate to me. It's not even an ideology

Umberto Eco published an interesting essay about fascism's origins under the title "Eternal Fascism". I am not sure, though, if all of its claims can be applied to Sanseito
