    IIRC Japan’s more or less the hardest country out there to immigrate to.

      What if… hm…what if you declared that your haunted house wasn’t Japan, but instead was like your own nation of Sayeedistan or whatever, and you went Home Alone on anyone who tried to kick you offI’m just asking questions

        American? Fellow American?

        Just wondering. Because “going Home Alone” on anyone who tried to kick you off is a terrible idea. Americans are used to the idea of behaving like a little shit without suffering negative consequences, or at least they’re delayed for years & years because of “your rights”…Asian countries, especially as a foreigner? You have no rights. Fuck your rights. Be polite, be respectful, comply, or you are almost guaranteed to have strong negative consequences.

        Asian countries like Japan look & behave like they do because they have a strong moral order that is rigorously enforced. I think maybe 7-8 years ago, I saw they developed a non-lethal high power bean bag cannon that, when it hits you in your center mass, will make you sit your ass down & reconsider your life choices. IIRC, as you’re doing that, I think the cannon can deploy an electrified net to further disable you.

        Your best bet is to be a fairly well-off, fully legal, kind, polite country hermit. That assimilates to their culture.

          No but see when the cops come in they’ll trip on the marbles, and then I hit em with the airhorn BWAAAAA like that, you watch them scoot out of My House after that!

          Nah I’m just joking, this is literally what cops are for. You wouldn’t stand a chance in any country.

      To get a visa? Not really. To get permanent status? It’s still hard but getting easier (spouse 3 years, working visa 10 years, anyone with enough points in the point system after either 1 or 3 years can apply for PR. Probably more cases I don’t know).
