    I’d take him over Trump if those were the choices in an election I had a say in tbh.

    Wouldn’t take him over someone with experience and sane policies, but definitely better than the MAGA folks.

        I’m not American either. It was an extremely hypothetical scenario.

        Swedes who move to Japan are in my experience pretty damn far-right leaning (as in, wants to be able to wear their SS cosplay uniform and wear swastika pins in public). Got bad vibes from Pewdiepie the moment he moved from Sweden to the UK for “better internet”. At the time Sweden had way larger fibre coverage than the UK. Dude just wanted to avoid taxes.

          Ok, this is frankly racist and immensely stupid. If you are going to judge him, do it based on his character. You have plenty of things to criticize about him, but him moving to Japan is not an issue. Jesus…

            Racist? To whom? Swedes like me? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. And I know for a fact that not a single eyebrow in Japan is raised over Nazi “cosplay”. By “In my experience” I meant that I’ve known several of my fellow swedes turn Nazi and move to Japan because they’re not judged for xenophobia there (something you’d know if you had ever been). They still visit the embassy to vote for the Nazi party every election of course.

              Honestly youre more likely to be the common denominator here than any swedes moving to japan.

              You might just be a nazi magnet. Ever looked yourself in the mirror and thought, ‘wow thats some nice stainless paneling?’

                Nah. Rid myself of those people years ago. Military service was the nazi magnet, and Japan definitely is a nazi magnet today.
