No. You are mistaking social cohesion for technological progress.

Meiji Japan caught up very quickly, we weren't a backwards shithole 80 years ago. A bombed out shithole, because of the war, but backwardness wasn't the problem.

Sure America opened the gates of the western world to them, but they expanded on many things (computers, cars) and came up with unique new technologies (optical drivers come to mind).

It must be the schooling system. They probably categorised kids in different sections and then make them excel in that field. Supposed the discipline culture preserves the intelligent too.

>>524025890
Anon. America was a world leading power and carpet bombed their two rivals: japan and Germany and built based in both and then shared tech as vassals. Why do you think they learned to make cars after they got colonized?
>>
>>524025787
If that was american technology why you can not re-produce locally?

You should calm your tits with these hard-copes.
America is not some kind of genius breeding camp. You tried to buy up the big heads from the World but at the end your greedy narrow minded mentality murdered every new invention to defend the old money machines.

They didn't have to pay for their own, nigger, and they had massive technology advances to draw upon from the war, stupid. Dumb fuckhole. Stop leaning on platitudes. NOT having to pay for their own defense left them free to establish massive industry and do extensive R&D because they're proud people. War isn't the only motivation.

AFAIK they never discovered high quality steel on their own until the western world shared it with them.

The truth is whenever a country like Germany or Japan gets more advanced than America the American government brings out policies and limitations do stop them getting ahead. Japan beat Americans at their own game of capitalism so the Americans had to stagnant their economy as to keep America dominant.
>>
>>524026534
German cars are still better than American cars.
The reason industry can't keep up is because average buyer is getting dumber and dumber.
Its been like that since iphone really. People don't buy products because they want the best product. They want the brand, the lifestyle. They are sheeple controlled earlier by hollywood and these days by influencers.

And USA is playing fucking dirty on this field. Just look at the tiktok case.

The reason German car industry is failing is because there was no mechanical investment in electric cars. The EU has fucked everything up. They didn't invest in infrastructure but still heavily tax non electric cars. China is now taking over the EV car industry.

japan survived stagnation because they didnt import a billion third worlders and retained a strong social cohesion despite getting poorer after the bubble burst. the USA and the west is going to be utter chaos because when the economy gets scary bad its gonna be nothing but third worlders doing third world shit to survive(extortion and human trafficking)

>They want the brand, the lifestyle.
The sad thing is that that's probably only half the truth.

There's also something to be said for brand recognition. People don't buy Dyson vacuums because of a lifestyle thing, they buy them because they associate the name with quality; brand recognition carries a reputation.

Unfortunately there are a lot of classic brands that have literally nothing to do with the ones from yesteryear that actually built that brand recognition in the first place and literally only use the brand name to get you to buy garbage products. The modern day Crosley Radio for example has nothing to do with the original Crosley Corporation.

If you know high end audio at all, nearly every classic brand name is owned by the same conglomerate now. McIntosh, Marantz, Kenwood, etc. The list is enormous, and I was not obviously listing only high end names, though there are a ton of them. Same company, just like Luxottica with sunglasses.

Japan had the world's most advanced semiconductor industry in the 90s and it has since shifted to Taiwan.
South Korea and Taiwan both followed the Japanese trend of piss poor Asian nations suddenly wiping the floor with Europe.
This should concern you.
You get angry when I tell you the truth but facing these problems is the first step towards fixing them.
Go on, tell yourself that modern Germany is a great place. I'm sure the politicians replacing you with mudslimes will thank your for it.

That's more or less exactly what I had in mind when I was writing my post, although for what it's worth I think McIntosh still makes quality product?

But since we're on the topic of high end audio, another thing that annoys me to no end is the disappearance of mid-range products. Back in the 80s if you wanted to buy a VCR, you could just buy one, or you could look at a slightly more expensive and better one in a catalog and go "well this one only costs a couple hundred more, I'll save up for that instead", but nowadays your choices are either spending over a grand for that high-end stuff or the finest Chinesium, there's nothing in between.
>>
>>524027867
>it's like they never had the industrial revolution
Japan has had a lot of set backs that most other countries wouldn't have survived from. Japan went from being a third world Asian country to a global power. Then got destroyed by natural disasters only to rebuild for ww2. Then got nuked and rebuilt all again.

>I think McIntosh still makes quality product?
Reportedly, the conglomerate that bought them all basically funded the return of certain struggling brands, lets them do what they want, but demands some profits. Other brands, they just resurrected for nostalgia, and it's all chinese garbage. Marantz is still good. I believe Yahama Audi became part of them as well, which is about the time you started seeing high-end Yamahas again. Onkyo, too. Dual. Teac, if I'm not mistaken.

You work like a dog to afford a tiny apartment, will never have the time to meet someone or have a family, even if you did have the time you don't have the ability to since you can't even look people in the eye due to social conditioning.

They could be living in the 22nd century, doesn't matter. I would rather live like a peasant in medieval Japan, then as a modern Japanese. All the GDP in the world doesn't matter worth a damn if your quality of life is in the dumps.

They anticipated such a bloody death toll from a land invasion of Japan that the massive pile of purple hearts they made in anticipation of the wounded and death soldiers has yet to run out to this day. They basically expected every single civilian down to the last schoolkid to suicide bomb every soldier they saw.

Literally every recipe, martial art, and cultural norm in Israel is taken from another culture. None of their technology is domestic. I'm willing to bet even the water desalination they're known for was actually the result of another culture's ingenuity.

Name a German or American city that's nice than Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kitakyushu, Hokkaido, or even fucking Hiroshima. Their financial situation worsens, and yet their nation survives and keeps its identity intact.
