I used to think the Yakuza were cool outlaws with code of honor then I found out they're just the police #2 secretly sanctioned by the state to beat up poor people. It the functions like the militias in my country.Have you been internationally disappointed?
>>223453168yakuza are more like businessmen
>>223453190They became a mickey mouse mafia after the 1980s and now run things like the idol industry, jav, gravure, etc. OP is technically correct, they were also funded by the CIA.
>>223453238At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the gangs in my city were funded by the CIA as well, through 10 different financial routes and layers of course
>>223453238>>223453321The "anti-US" militias in my country were funded by the CIA
>>223453321Nobody would bother doing that in your country
They're still selling drugs on the onion website and twitter
