They don’t like foreigners, so let’s wish they were conquered by colonials, because that worked out so well for every other country conquered by colonials.
I mean, look at India. The Modi government will crawl over broken glass to appease their colonial oppressors. Or, at least, they’ll find some of their lowest cast neighbors to do the crawling for them.
It’s the 1980s all over again. Americans conveniently rediscovering how much they hate Japan, the moment they see the country as a global rival rather than a source of cheap labor.

Anti Japan comment, of course, because they don’t like foreigners anymore

Buddy, they never liked foreigners to begin with. That’s like… Their whole thing.

That doesn’t align with the modern globalism tendencies.
Perhaps we should colonize them and replace them with new people who fit the narrative better.
That’ll teach them to be more considerate of foreigners. Well, those that survive, at least.

But if they got replaced by the colonizers, we wouldn’t have xenophobic japanese people anymore.

You’re advocating for the replacement of an entire ethnic group. You know what that’s called, right?
I hope for your sake that you’re being ironic.

I wasn’t born in that fourth world wasteland that has no workers right.

I’m going to regret asking, but… what do you think the fourth world is? And, what did you think the first three were?
