Re: What sucks about your country?

[ariakas]

Canada? The electoral system. Our current government was not only put into power but given a majority of the seats while getting less than 40% of the vote. Meaning over 60% of the population doesn't want them, but they're there anyway making policies the vast majority of people don't agree with.

Japan? The respect for the elderly is wonderful in some ways, but it also means that the most common means of affecting social change is "wait for the old people to die". When everyone in your society under 70 feels a certain way, or knows a change is needed, but it doesn't happen because you're not allowed to speak out against that 70+ cohort and your only other option is to leave the country, something is extremely wrong. Those people grew up in a different time and are using that no-longer-relevant life experience on which to base their values and ideals. Worse, they no longer have a stake in the future of society the same way a present-day young or even middle-aged person does.

Sounds like an extreme version of what happens in the U.S. Politicians don't want to upset older constituents too much because the older ones are more likely to actually vote. :|

It's even worse than that, though, because while if they were pandering only to the elderly no US politician would ever back something like, say, gay marriage, even though the majority of younger people support it now. But they don't want to lose future voters, and middle aged people vote in large numbers too.

But the views on gay marriage in Japan amongst the younger generations are not actually that dissimilar to that of the West, yet there's absolutely no traction being made on the issue whatsoever and most politicians would never even dream of bringing it up because it's unacceptable to the elderly.
