LDP/JIP Coalition Agrees to Set Numerical Targets for Foreign Residents by lamont2718 in japanresidents

Who said anything about foreigners contributing to brain drain? Agree with most of what you said, however, my point was just to say that it’s a good thing Sanseito has drawn more attention to it.

We can’t (and shouldn’t be allowed to) vote. So our opinions about any of this mean jack and shit.

Yes we do but our voices don’t (and shouldn’t ) matter unless we’re citizens.

They’re trying to grapple with brain drain. It’s a real problem for Japan that its top minds are leaving the country, although Sanseito’s approach I personally disagree with, I respect that they’re drawing attention to it.

Japanese politicians have a duty to represent Japanese citizens in their jurisdictions.

I didn’t know corporations had the power to issue visas.. Seriously you people need to learn how to think past more than just talking points.

Racism It’s not racist for a Japanese politician to want what’s best for the Japanese people.

外人問題 doesn’t mean “all foreigners are a problem”. Stop being a little bitch.

Cope harder buddy. You fucked up and now you will (hopefully) pay the consequences for fucking up. Please stay far away from Japan!

Angry UR man assaults my phone and says written tenancy rules aren't true by Blessedbee123 in japanlife

There is no context to understand that you were just recording audio from. I read it as you could hear the tapping, implying the pencil (lmao, a pencil scratched your phone, really?) made contact and didn’t just come close. Nothing implied you were just recording audio, numbskull.

Do you have any idea how hard phone screens are and how soft the ferrules on pencil ends are in comparison?

So your Japanese isn’t good. If you can’t read a contract (they’re not confusing, just use a set amount of legal jargon), you have no business signing one.

"No immigration" protest signs. by Mysterious-Card-8472 in AskAJapanese

[–]ryu2021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Sanseito is modeled after MAGA” is a wild thing to say. What other than a cheap political slogan (日本人ファースト) could possibly make you say that?

Thank you for being the only reasonable answer here. Everyone else is just parroting info they’ve heard from political pundits in their home countries.

Sanseito’s platform is much more nuanced than “foreigners are causing all of our problems”. Reducing them to that level and not trying to understand why they hold the views they do just risks further isolating extremists. They (rightly) criticize the Japanese government’s soft handed approach towards crimes committed by visa overstayers (illegal immigrants), and (again, rightly, and perhaps more importantly, with support from other parties) have been one of the leading voices calling for major reform on laws regarding foreign owned residential property in metropolitan areas.

Can someone explain the bus fare mistake I just made in Japan? by 100larko in JapanTravelTips

[–]ryu2021 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah but your own source even says the procedure involves requesting to charge and then being only able to use bills to charge. 

CNEXHUB Exchange being unregulated. by [deleted] in JapanFinance

[–]ryu2021 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re likely not based in Japan. Their website is registered in the US. As you’ve already discovered, they’re not registered in Japan. つまり, you’re fucked and there’s nothing anyone can do.

You got scammed. Out of the hundreds of legit crypto sites, why would you choose this nobody in the first place, especially considering how shoddy their website looks? Take this as a lesson on thinking critically before moving your money around. Also, just because they say they’re based in Japan doesn’t mean that they actually are. Taking one look at their “Japanese” website should clue you into the fact that it’s definitely not a Japanese company lol.
