    He looks like he was told this is what Americans wear and has no understanding of the true significance of it.

        Date of the photo? Assume it would be before the election, shirt is dated 2024. Still embarrassing as hell for anyone with any pride, sense of worth or value of the broader world to stand with those POSs

      There is some potential validity to your comment because I’ve heard that Japanese people don’t get much information about the western world due to the language barrier

      If it just turns out to be a misunderstanding due to language barrier then it’s a misunderstanding

      But if he knows full well what it means and what he is doing then he is a awful person

      Is this the part where MAGA hangs itself with bedsheets during a gap in camera footage while the guards are napping?

    Reminder that one Japanese guy even if he is horrible doesn’t represent the entirety of Japan for the idiots who want to use this as an excuse to spread misinformation about Japan in the comments here.

    People like that have been playing corporate politics for decades. There is no soul left.

    GOD DAMN IT. I WAS ABOUT TO BUY A COROLLA. Can anyone recommend another reliable car that says “I don’t give a shit about cars, my cat just hates ubers”?

        Hyundai is abusing labor in its US factories. Not exactly a morally superior choice. Lateral move at best.

          Oof. Good to know. Ethically, there seems to be no real good options.

          Maybe a used vehicle with low ecological impact is the best moral choice at this point?

      Buy a Corolla… Get a used one and have any service or maintenance you can’t do yourself done at a locally owned shop. It’s not ideal but it’s as good as it’s going to get

        Solid advice. Toyotas fall in value like any other car, then hit a few thousand and stay there forever. There’s a good reason for that.

        Between salvage, refurbished parts, and new old inventory, you can easily keep a 10 year old Toyota on the road for decades.
