    Hoo boy do I envy you. So, upon opening up its trade ports to the Dutch, Japan not only ushered in a cultural revolution, but a culinary one. Many new styles of foods and flavors were introduced. Some people didn’t like this though. They thought they should just stick to native fruits and vegetables, not these foreign bananas (ばな literally “wood foot food”) the Dutch typically brought with them. So, preparing for their own future imperialist ambitions, Japan invented coded language using food to refer to their future rivals. When the Americans caught yellow fever during WW2, they imported many of these same racist jokes. They still carry on this tradition today - you can find out more at the historical resource lemonparty.org

  • IMO, people think this way because they’re trying to do the right thing, but the nebulous others are not. Deporting those others would make it faster and more acceptable for themselves to be approved. Clearing the queue and getting a glow up, for a ridiculous analogy. Fear leads to irrational choices. Telling people they’ll be 1000% more patriotic if you vote for them is an evil but successful tactic pandering to this fear.
