You can't compare the US which is a country that was built on the idea of freedom of rights for all and is now sliding towards totalitarianism under Trump to Japan which was built on being isolationist until fairly recently in historical terms but is becoming more progressive as time goes on. It's foolish to compare a country like the US which is sliding backwards to a country like Japan that is making progress.

For comparisons to work there needs to be similarities, like I said before, if you can offer a highly influential Western country that is sliding backwards like the US but it's being ignored in favour of the US then by all means, go ahead.

Yes of course you can. You just choose what youre getting "outraged" about to fit your own agaends, but you clearly do not apply your beliefs universally.

Outrage? Who's outraged?

You've yet to provide a reason why they are comparable so I'll assume you've got nothing useful to say on the matter.

You choose what you're outraged about to fit your own a-gender.

So basically a free pass to the majority of the world to act how they want unless it's the US or UK.
Sounds just like something the 'Stop The War Coalition' would spout.

The comparison makes no sense, for a comparison to work there has to be shared ground between the two examples. The US' situation and status is completely different to that of Japan's and, like I said before, Japan is improving, the US is sliding back. To excuse Trump by saying 'look at Japan' is pretty much like fat shaming an overweight person when they're at the gym.

It's a **** comparison to make for reasons I've stated before (and have yet to be contested).
