So that professor has never tried looking at his own surroundings?

Japan's work ethic is grueling - At a younger age, work consumes almost your entire life. It's why in the precious free time the Japanese have, they like to "express" themselves in such strange ways. Most younger people are spoonfed the idea that they won't have the time for fun, let alone making babies.

Korea would have been in the same boat if they didn't have such insanely strong family traditions.

Eevee is indignant at this point

...and still failing to see Japan's jumps in technology resulted from the world's advances in communications, transportation, science, and manufacturing.

they'd still be feudal if they were left an island

an island, Eevee.

It wasn't just internal rebellion. The reason they invaded China in 1932 was for materials as well which led to over 20 million deaths and was debatably the start of World War 2 though some say it wasn't until they launched a full invasion China in 1937. Briton did a lot bloody colonizing as well during their revolution.

There is a proven pattern that nations that Industrialized their Military tended to stomp others into the ground who weren't for cheap materials or dominated them by using local leaders and signing humiliating "friendship treaties" (Give us your stuff.) that got you machine gunned if you disagreed.

"Whatever happens we have got-

-the Maxim Gun and they have not."

White Mans Burden, Asian Co Prosperity Sphere, Manifest Destiny, it all boils down to those that can take from those that can't then proclaim they are helping. Now that Industry is everywhere who has the A Bomb or is good friends with those who do seems to be the new indicator of who gets invaded and metaled with by big Countries.

Though it seems like that is a terrible thing in some places quality of life improved under new leadership, people who were committing massacres were stopped, food got to the hungry, countries were industrialized, education improved, commerce with the Industrial Nation while usually uneven brought money in. Now North Korea has the A-Bomb and stories from their concentration camps are enough to curl your toes while people starve, unless they start a war chances of them being taken over are slim.

Case by case it is hard to tell what was right, what was wrong. A lot of opportunity and prosperity came from greed, meddling and bloodshed a half century down the line and lot hasn't... Iraq and Afghanistan for instance, good for their future in the long run after their dead have been buried or just a waste of life and money? Sadda.m and the Taliban were no picnic for the people that is to be sure. Right or wrong we will find out in the decades to come.


I'm sorry for picking, I do that a lot.

No, I am pretty sure Godzilla scaring them senseless every few 100 years, is what drove their advancement. Good ol' old testament discipline to keep them active.

As well as the Japanese learning if they have less people on the island, most likely Godzilla a true predator will move to other areas that are more well populated.

Also they spent so much time looking up at Godzilla, and just seeing his junk all the time, their society has no standards towards panty shots, even the old people there, think at least that person is wearing underwear, after all the abusive junk they stared at in their younger years.

WELL!
This is totally not creepy at all

The yanks said
"THE JAPS WON'T OUTDONE US!"

So this happened

Dang, if only I'd had some of that stuff when I was younger. I always wanted some switch that would allow me to temporarily turn off libido distractions. Just long enough to get something done, then turn it back on.

your balls would shrink tho

Japan needs to ban that creepy pedal moe anime, and go back to the violent stuff of the 90s, for the survival of their race.
