Biden calls U.S. ally Japan 'xenophobic,' along with China and Russia - Lemmy.World

“Think about it,” he said. “Why is China stalling so bad economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia?”

“Because they’re xenophobic,” he said. “They don’t want immigrants.”

Show me what he said that was incorrect.

Japan has never welcomed immigrants, and they’ve been hovering on the brink of recession since 1990. Of the three countries he mentioned, Japan is probably suffering the most economically because of their lack of immigrant labor (while China and Russia are suffering for other reasons in addition to their lack of immigrants).

It’s an ozma post. It isn’t about facts or accuracy. It’s about attacking biden as much as possible. Pushing accelerationism, with the purpose of getting more people hurt. Rather than actually helping anyone.
Seriously. Ozma is obnoxious.

If you assume that they actually do want to end the genocide and make things better. You’d be hard pressed to find a way to go about it worse than they have. Alienating people who would otherwise be allies.

Every once in awhile they post an article that I can sort of get behind. But I don’t feel that I can up vote it simply because of who they are.

Most of the articles that aren’t anti Biden are anti US in general from what I’ve seen. It’s frustrating because I don’t want to give them oxygen but don’t want to cede the space.

Yes those tend to be slightly more accurate. There is plenty in American policy to be against even as an American.

I think most of us here are fairly lefty. Like to believe were better informed, and not vulnerable to misinformation and propaganda like others. But it isn’t the case. There are plenty falling for it. Part of human nature, we all question things that validate our biases less.
