Pakistani over here, I don't get it
Likely the fact that Japan has recently advocated that they intend to open their country after the Rugby world cup to greater levels of immigration from other countries world wide and Japan particularly has a high list of applicants of people from Pakistan wanting to move to Japan as they already have Canada and many other countries globally. Canada is likely to boom in terms of immigration and I can see problems forming there as they have in the UK and have been established for some time.
More onto my own point.
I am greatly saddened by Kojima-san's comments here. Whilst I cannot comment on President Trump and his actions as I myself am a British native and citizen, the United States is currently doing very well economically, despite the hatred and wish to bring President Trump down and replace him with a communist/socialist democrat. I don't know anything about the circumstances of his Presidency, only that the United States are currently doing very well and he had the bollocks to stand up to global leaders and make the un-popular decisions such as pulling out of the Paris Agreement.
What saddens me more as an advocate of the sadly bastardised 'Brexit' that has been twisted and manipulated into a political and social storm is that the reason I voted for Brexit personally was because I don't agree with the requirements of being in the EU, I don't approve of all their decisions and I certainly would not have looked to join had we actually been given the choice.
A fact the rest of the world probably does not know is that the peoples of the United Kingdom
never actually voted to join what we currently refer to as the European Union. My grandma, god rest her soul, passed away three weeks ago now but as a fountain of knowledge I asked her about the vote in 1975 on the European Communities Membership and she very told me that the politicians of the time very clearly stated that this was a trade deal agreement, it was
not about politics. Enoch Powell, a man hated by many but quite brilliant in his own right said that the whole point of the EEA was to eventually become a political project to rule over the European nations and how right he was about that particular point.
I don't comment on Japanese national affairs and I don't make projects to make political points to Japan, so I would hope that Kojima grants Britain the same respects. I voted for Parliamentary sovereignty and the ability to decide our nations future for itself and to prevent further destruction of Europe from a continent of rich, established and varied nations, into a thread of federal countries. Brexit isn't about putting up walls and stopping people from being a part of Britain, it's about opening up our horizons to the whole world and not just the immediate nations around us. We live in a global market with a global outreach and it's never been easier to do that than in the 21st century. Appreciated, we have a trade surplus and the EU very much needs the UK more than we need them, not only for trade but also as one of the biggest contributors to the EU in monetary terms, of which a giant gaping black hole should be left for the EU to fill.
I'm going to buy and likely enjoy Death Stranding, but please don't take an issue close to me and many people in the country right now and tell me that your creative vision is simply a knee jerk reaction to political on-goings. I don't play games to get into politics, I play them for exactly the opposite reasons. To try and forget that the UK is currently a fucking laughing stock, that trust in politicians is probably less than it has ever been and that the self serving back stabbing, lying expense claiming bastards have been fucking the general public for years and will continue to do so. They take powers lent to them by the peoples they represent and use them to represent themselves and they can't agree on most subjects and couldn't run a piss up in a brewery. I don't really want to be reminded of that when I'm playing a game to escape from the real world and forget about it for a change.
Can you describe what’s so great about borders exactly?
Oh and as for individualism. I’m sure it’s great if you happen to be born healthy in a western middle class family, but pretend for a second that you’re born with aids in a third world country. Not so great, is it?
Borders are necessary for social security and also to ensure we don't over saturate talent, labour and numbers so that social services become unsustainable. They also allow for nations to add where necessary to skills they lack strategically and prevent unwanted individuals such as criminals with severe convictions from being allowed to enter the country.
My question here is, why are the situations like the one you're describing still happening? The United Kingdom alone gives billions of pounds to African nations every year and African nationals living in the United Kingdom send money home to their families regularly. In 2017 alone, we gave Africa £13.9 billion pounds. Where the fuck is this money going? Im well aware of where Mugabe spent it but Africa is struggling with it's own political issues that it needs to get through and this is only the most common example of third world countries that we can provide an example of. From the mass amount of money donated to Africa from the 80's to the modern day, it should not be in the state that it currently is. It could and should be far better place for the people that live there but it's a long way from being able to be that continent with political issues of it's own. Though the EU currently have their own hands in that business.
You are mistaking individualism (rights of the individual as something that should be respected) for isolationism (which is the belief that countries should be completely isolated from each other).
Kind of ironic given that Japan boomed under their isolationist policies isn't it? They didn't have another boom like that until the bubble economy.
