Most Annoying Japanese Man Starts International Incident Over Deer

The Japanese are getting dumber and dumber as they are being swept away by the anti-foreigners movement. But consider what happened in the early 1990s, when Japan was riding high on the "Japan as Number One" mentality. As soon as the Bank of Japan raised interest rates—signaling the end of the bubble economy—Morgan Stanley and other foreign investors quickly pulled their capital, accelerating the collapse. Or take 1941, when Japan, driven by its own overconfidence, attacked Pearl Harbor and brought the United States into the war, leading to devastating consequences by 1945. Even earlier, look at Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s failed invasion of the Korean Peninsula—a costly campaign that contributed to the fall of his regime and the eventual rise of the Tokugawa shogunate. Throughout its history, Japan has prospered when it absorbed and adapted foreign culture. During the medieval period, the influence of Chinese and Korean culture helped shape Japan’s political systems, religion, and arts, leading to internal growth and stability. In the Meiji era, Japan embraced Western ideas and technology, rapidly modernizing and rising as a global power. This pattern reveals a key historical lesson: Japan thrives when it looks outward to learn, then turns inward to refine and cultivate. But when Japan stretches itself too far outward—driven by hubris rather than humility—it faces decline and collapse.
