Would still suck in walking infrastructure compared to Tokyo
Walking infra. is bad in the US because it's a low-density country, it should be compared to other low-density countries like Canada or Russia, which barely even have good driving infra.
Furthermore, urban living in the US is not what the consumer wants - the "consumers dream" is buying a big piece of land in the suburbs(you know, where there's no niggers), in Japan they all want condos near their urban-workplace
On the other-hand high density countries aren't all sunshine and rainbows, with Japan being one of the worst offenders in terms of not having places to rest, wait, socialize, etc. publicly(eg, usable public space) when you compare it to Europe or modern developments in Hong Kong/South-Coastal China or Korea where actual mixed-use development with public common-areas are prevalent.
i wonder how italy talks about it?
"yeah mussolini was bad but we killed him so it's chill, we're all anti-fascists or something, yeah our state police still dress the same and we look at you like a subhuman if you're brown, fat, or ugly, it's chill tho we reject our past. yeah, we elected his granddaughter but she's cool" - basically this:
I find it funny that some of the Japan glazers IRL are normie liberals despite the country's history and their politicians are even more right wing than the dastardly orang men.
That said, I also noticed that most of Japan Hate on Xitter is literally Third Worlders (Turks, Brazilians, and other Mudslimes)
Libshits have been psyopped into thinking that the ultimate political ends are "free" healthcare, walkable cities, and hyper-dense urbanism and anything done to achieve said ends is actually progressive, even if it's corporate neo-feudalism that leads to poor living conditions for the majority that makes American TrailerDwellers look like they're living well by comparison. At least you get a yard and some living-space in the trailer park.
But they're also typically richfags who have an "well it wont happen to me" mindset about that sort of thing, they can't even conceive that the US being mostly "suburban sprawl" is actually mass-affluence and the lower middle class rentoids in the suburbs of Tuscon that drive Toyota 4Runner's live better than 99% of the population on this planet - because actual affluence is the default for them. They're scared to drive, they're scared to be alone, a dense bug-hive(where they get the nice penthouse) seems ideal to them.
turd worlders are just beefing with japs because of the footy since japan's team was doing pretty well and coming up with really stupid "but did you know they have rape there too??" gotchas.
