  • I think you can only map left/right politics onto Japan starting with the Meiji Restoration.

  • Hokkaido was only made a part of the Japanese state in the late 1800s. The young Japanese Empire specifically modeled its practices in Hokkaido off of the American settler project as part of their bid for imperial legitimacy in the eyes of Europe and to secure a huge chunk of nearby land. They eradicated the indigenous Ainu people, who today exist in extremely small numbers with an extinct language. The vast majority of the Hokkaido population are ethnic Japanese settlers/settler descended who can only trace their roots on the island to within the last 150 years.

    Japan's relationship with Hokkaido is much older than that; there were outposts on the island for centuries facilitating trade with the Ainu and some permanent colonies during the Tokugawa era. But the colonization and subjugation of the island is a modern phenomena just as settler-colonial as the US or Israel.

  • I don't know if they're technically settler-colonial in a Marxist sense

    They are specifically in Hokkaido. On mainland Japan, no. It was not too different from any other large scale migration in antiquity.

  • Which is why comparisons to Soviet-style state-controlled broadcasting models – once breathless rhetorical exaggerations – are starting to feel less hyperbolic.

  • The KGB is a bunch of drug dealing r*pists who utilize Moscow's huge underclass of prostitutes to blackmail innocent, good-hearted Coca-Cola executives and then murders the prostitutes to leave no loose ends [THIS IS NOT IN ANY WAY AN EXAGGERATION]. KGB agents are wife-beating drunkards who love to neglect their children. Everyone in Moscow supports the death of prostitutes because the official party line is that they are moral failures who stain socialism. The media is not allowed to report on any systemic crime. When somebody speaks to you at the market, you begin by saying "GET AWAY CAPITALIST SCUM" before you barter, since you're always being watched. Whenever anyone says anything about Moscow, they always qualify it by mentioning that it's the worst place on earth, it sucks, they hate it there. It's unsafe to be a woman walking the streets of Moscow at night because lecherous drunks lurk on every corner. There is never sunlight. The CIA are unambiguously good guys fighting the good fight (what? why? unimportant).

    I'm sure at some point they add tiny wrinkles of moral complexity to the CIA (they make George Bush senior look like an idiot in his one early appearance) but by and large this is an America Good, Soviets Evil story. I watched four episodes before I tapped out. I got that far because the set and costume design are great and the main actors do really good work and my wife and I have a big crush on Vic Michaelis.
