Japan is an absolute mystery. How did it even happen
>>
>>18586669
Yayoi replaced Jomons and copied everything from the Chinese and live on an island. That's how you get japanese.

Japan is pretty easy to explain, actually.
>be backwards island savages
>be prone to earthquakes, typhoons, and many other types of natural disasters
>this dynamic creates a culture of promoting fertility, to replace all the people killed
>envoys from china come over for trade
>at this point china is at its absolute cultural zenith, never to be repeated
>of this cultural zenith japan only gets to see the positive aspects of it, all negative aspects like scheming eunuchs and footbinding aren't brought over
>wholesale adopt everything from this apex chinese culture, including not only culture but also government system
>synthesize confucian values with your culture
>new culture is still sex obsessed but also extremely patriarchal, resulting in japs selecting for the optimal traits in women
>this is why japanese women have larger breasts and are more (outwardly, performatively) submissive today
>chinese culture degrades multiple times due to things as wide ranging as mongols, manchus, new culture movements, and the cultural revolution
>you are now the last vestige of a purified and optimized chinese culture
Once you understand Japan through this lense everything about them makes sense. They're basically backwards savages wearing the overcoat of a civilization, which is why they have such a proclivity to both unspeakable acts of violence and sexual depravity. There's a tacit understanding in the Japanese psyche that this is what they are, which is why apologism for things like unit 731 and sexual exploitation is not only rife but the prevailing world view in Japan. A lot of people wonder why Japan is so "weird", but if you understand their history that's just naturally how they're going to be.
If you introduced civilization to any other natural disaster prone region they'd be exactly the same.

I heard they're chinese and korean mutt hybrids

I want to know who the fuck the Yayoi people were. They are the origin of what we basically recognize as Japanese culture and society, yet their genealogical origins are a mystery. The "consensus" is so vague as to be useless and unsatisfying:
>uh they were probably from Korea?
>or maybe southeast Asia?
>maybe all of the above!
>>
>>18586711
I think the origin of the jomon people is way more interesting like where the fuck do they come from and why do they look like west eurasians despite not being genetically related to them
>>
>>18586716
I simply don't find them mysterious. Their culture is simple stone age hunter-gatherer stuff, and they're just one of many different groups wandering around mainland Asia before the last glacial maximum and wandered their way onto the islands. In terms of cultural legacy, the Yayoi are far, far more influential and important to Japan. By the time the immigrants who would become the Yayoi came to Japan they already had developed a somewhat sophisticated agricultural society that they simply transplanted from the mainland onto Japan. So who were these agriculturalists? What elements of the Yayoi culture are imported from Asia, and which ones did they adapt from the Jomon? It's impossible to answer this without knowing who they are.

You're forgetting the kino when they realized Chinks are shit and started copying from the West with great success that makes chinks seethe eternally

The japanese are fantastical people, their national SPIRIT of orderliness and NICENESS are unlike all of their neighbours

>>18586711
Their prehistorical origin (-1000 BC) is the southern korean peninsula

Going back further in time is pointless, for almost every people on earth you have 0 traces

>>18586772
>their national SPIRIT of orderliness and NICENESS are unlike all of their neighbours

You mean their Confucian values they got from their neighbors?
>>
>>18586711


IT IS UNKNOWN FROM WHERE, SPECIFICALLY, THE YAYOI ARRIVED IN JAPAN, BUT IT IS CERTAIN THAT THEY EMIGRATED FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA.

THE YAYOI WERE, EITHER, ARYANS, OR ARYANIDS.

If you interacted with koreans and chinese you know this doesnt work as a propaganda at all

HOW IS IT A «BAD TAKE», ACCORDING TO YOU?

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO THE ARYANS WERE, OR WHAT AN ARYANID IS?

>>18586953
true

The Japanese are who they are because they live by Chinese values.

Does China re-overtaking Japan make the Japs seethe?
I think it does
>>
I love how Japs seethe at South Korea of all fucking countries. All because Korea shows the world the Japs aren't special at all.
