No Reports of Looting in Japan After Disaster

[00_Pete]

You can ignore the fact that Japan is 99% ethnic Japanese, but to me it helps explain their social cohesion. It has nothing to do with David Duke or Stormfront. The world cannot be explained by economics alone, despite libertarian attempts to ignore social issues.

Ethnic and, above all, cultural cohesion (one could say this 2 often walk hand-in-hand) play a major role no doubt. This and the fact that Japanese society always had to live with natural disasters (if this was bad imagine the one that happened 140 years ago).

No racism here, in fact 1 Malcolm X is worth 1 trillion David Duke´s.

Is there no rioting, looting, or crime in white parts of the US?

Yes, but they accomplish it using lawyers, so it appears less unseemly.

Is there no rioting, looting, or crime in white parts of the US?

Much less compared to more "Diverse" parts of America.

 

[00_Pete]

So true.
It is sad but true that Americans in general are the most spoiled people on the planet as of now.
Sense of entitledment ruined this country and will turn this country into toilet in the future unless we get a grip and turn back to liberty and prosperity.

A guy with the Aleister Crowley saying talking about liberty?!? AHAHAHAH!!

Dude you keep jumping from one disaster to the other.

Nietzsche was a psychotic, cultural subverter, a filthy woman-hating masculine-homosexual PEDERAST at the service of the New World Order. The spanish anarchist you had there was part of yet another movement created by the New World Order...and now Crowley. You are hysterical dude!

Crowley was a cultural subverter, a pederast that OPENLY encouraged raping little boys in his whole "sex magik" crap in order to convert them to homosexuality, he was a member of the british intelligence and he even played a role in the Lusitania false flag attack and he also helped to found many "mini Skull and Bones" types of secret societies were the New World Order recruit many of their agents. He also played a major role in the commie-hippie movement (Beatles has him on the cover of one of their Albuns) and i could go on and on...

Really, stop trying to be "alternative" and "counter-culture" and "intellectual" and "underground" and "different" and all that crap. It makes you worship PEDERASTS at the service of the New World Order.

That is so lame dude...hihihihi...

Don’t try race-baiting me. I never mentioned white people.

Yep, this seems to be the part that many libertarians willfully overlook. Culture matters. People matter. I can never understand how many here buy into the whole Leftist thinking of cultural and moral relativity. Libertarianism only works if the people are good and moral.

Yep. And that is the main obstacle to libertarianism really. Also one of the reasons of my tyrade against "Imaginos" and his Aleister Crowley CRAP.

Rothbard and von Mises were very "conservative" on all cultural aspects. Rothbard called this Libertarians the "Modals".

Both Vessol and Rifleman are correct.

That said, I'd just as soon risk the crime or social upheaval, than trade it all for an authoritarian quasi-police state like Japan.

Then again, I realize the absurdity of that statement as soon as I typed it.

We're just as authoritarian and "police statish" as Japan.

What else do you expect from one thousand plus years of feudalism?

As much as they can be merited at being an orderly society, Japanese society is also very much anti-individualist and puts the needs of the many always before the needs of the few.. There's a reason why Japan also has the highest suicide rate in the industrialized world.

Edit: At least they are not mass killing Koreans, like in 1923..

Firstly, I would like to say some are being a bit unfair to "rifleman" because he is correct in saying that having many different cultural, racial, and religious groups in proximity to each other can and does at times create problems.
the second thing I would like to point out is that inner-city america is NOT "boyz in the hood" or a Tupac video. Im from a section of dallas that is90% black/hispanic, and while south oak cliff does have crime, drugs, etc.............most people that stay there are not gonna rob you, rape you, "buss a cap in yo azz" or throw gang signs at you........and that INCLUDES the criminal element. yes, in neighborhoods like the cliff you got gangbangers, crackheads and sex offenders, but you also got dishwashers, truck drivers, mechanics, teachers, preachers, and students too.

Shh, let the middle-class suburbanite white nationalists who seem to still try to sneak onto this forum, think that everything is relative the melatonin in your skin.

 

[BlackTerrel]

Much less compared to more "Diverse" parts of America. State after State, City after City proves that Whites and North East Asians have lowest crime rates, and Black, Brown and South East Asians have highest crime rates.

95% and over White Towns and cities have almost negligible crime rates. You can leave your door unlocked in almost All 95%+ white cities in Middle American States like Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Kentucky etc etc and the result will be like Japan.

You leave your door open in Non-White dominated parts of "Diverse" portions of Counties and most likely your place will be robbed.

I know I know already. You've been making the same point in 19 of your 25 posts.

Political correctness means anyone who talks reality is David Duke and all who suffer under the heel of Non_White criminality are to be applauded for their "tolerance".

It is really unfortunate what has happened to America under the garb of Multicultural tolerance.

Ok David.

So, what then? Pay lip service to limited government while calling for cultural and ethnic conformity, things that will (in this country, at least) invariably lead to more state interference in the lives of individuals? You sure you're on the right forum?

Anyone else found it odd for a post complementing the Japanese for not rioting was started. I know you are trying to draw a comparison with the New Orleans incident but at least give them a few more days since it took the New Orleanians a 3-4 days of no govt assistant and supervision to start looting.

Don't get me wrong, I not in anyway trying to compare the more refined cultured, more educated, more prosperous, more prepared and well mannered Japanese to our American counter parts but the Japanese govt have stepped up to the plate better that the govt of new Orleans did and the shock and potential death from a still developing nuclear disaster kinda makes it hard to loot anything. Anyway, I think what am trying to say before I started rambling is that there are a lot more variables in play that just the culture 99% ethnic Japanese make up of the society because when push comes to shove, even the most culture of vultures tend to resort to their innate animal instincts

 

[100DollarBarrelofOil]

Nah, actually I think they're right, it's all because 99% of the country's population is Japanese. That has to be it.

Edit: mods I think you can close this thread now we have figured out why there are no reports of looting in japan after disaster.

Indeed. Wait a week or so. If there is STILL no looting, then we can get back to this.

 

[awake]

What about the billions in inflated currency that the Japanese government is printing up in light of this disaster? This is systemic looting on a massive scale.

 

[TheBlackPeterSchiff]

This thread is hilarious!

"There is no looting because 99% of Japan is pure Japanese."

ROFL

Some people here give the liberty movement a real bad name. Makes it hard for people like me to constantly defend folks like Ron Paul when people call him and liberty lovers racist.

What's funny about that picture is when Hurricane Gustav hit here in Baton Rouge, LA. I went to the corner store (which was in a majority black neighborhood) to see if I can get some snacks. The power was out for a good week in the whole city. Well, at this corner store, there was a line very similar to this. The owner of the corner store had it orderly and was using good old pen and paper to calculate costs. People were gracious and happy to get what they need. But you never hear about that on the news.

Im from New Orleans, and I was lucky enough to get outta there with my life. Something I would like to point is, 80% of the population in New Orleans had pretty much left before the Hurricane, the decent people, the people with the sense to get out of the way, the people with the means to leave, were gone. What was left? The drug attics, the homeless, the thugs, the inmates, the forgotten and the hopeless elderly, and the NOPD thugs to police them all.

Its rather sad that NOT looting is considered newsworthy.

Good explanation.

That is going to bite them in the ass shortly. Looks like all of the stored up savings are running out, and all the inevitable inflation is coming out in grand fashion. Poor Japan. Plus, when Japan goes down, Europe won't have anyone to prop up its poor lending. Poor Europe. Then China, with one of its best importers out of business, will lose its illusionary growth and will flop. Poor China. Then the US is going to crash without the Chinese or Japanese to buy bonds. Poor US.

Actually, I think this could spiral out and really screw everyone over. Only time will tell, though.
