Did you visit the countryside? Japan has an aging problem and a big misogyny problem too.

Name the country and I will easy find the spots where it is not vibrant and modern, and then say "did you visit those?" Say, I heard France has great cuisine, but I had street food in Paris and it was meh.

Doesn’t change facts about Japan‘s problems. In certain parts they are just less visible.

How about Spanish servers? I will never understand this helplessness that comes from these European countries. They are choosing to be dependent on foreign powers.

> Immigration on Hacker News is like the dumbest topic here

"Dumbest" wouldn't be the word I'd use here, considering the views on immigration are sharply divided by education level. I reckon HN has an overrepresentation of people with (at least) a college degree, relative to the general population.

Someday, the US will be just a bubble where no other country gives their data to. We continue this decent into fascism to the point that nobody likes us.. or values us. Is this their idea of Utopia?

Unfortunately, yes. The American right has looked at Russia as a model for what they want America to be for some time.

What on earth are you even talking about

There is a certain brand of conservative Republicans who have learned to weaponize antisemitism against Democrats. The general operating theory is that, since the Holocaust, anyone with even Jewish heritage can do no wrong (though I question the sincerity of the view).
