I'd usually not even consider replying to such a post as you clearly have neither read nor tried to understand my comment.

I replied to a post made above, and expressed deepest sympathy for the Japanese people. While I was born in central Europe, I'd rather not be a citizen of any nation. I spend more time abroad than in the country I was born in. Speaking of which: central Europe currently has a huge resurgence of facist ideologies and xenophobia due to migrants from war-torn countries. Something which is utterly inconceivable to most people able to read a history book, given Europe's not so distant past with genocide. Unfortunately, xenophobia and right-wing sentiment is something that every democracy and thus nation faces, Japan isn't exempt from that [0] [1] [2].

(I currently live in Asia and spend a lot of time in Arabic countries, you may reconsider educating me on the subject with references to the bboy scene.)
