Japanese Colonialism inside the Nation

It is no doubt that Japan used to be colored with strong imperialism to foreign nations, but what was it like inside Japan? I'd love to focus on Language here.


It is also well known that Japanese government tried to press the Standard Japanese to even Okinawa and Hokkaido, and to some extent succeeded in it. There the wood-made alarm known as Hyogen-Fuda was very seen. I don't mean we personally have our culture, which is an extreme opinion. However, culture must be considered in a sensible sense. It doesn't go too much to say that we locally have our own language and culture such as which we living in Kagawa area use our own Japanese named Sanuki Dialect. Language style influences our cognition as Edward Sapir pointed out. The order to use only Standards may be the order to behave in the way that the Authorities expect. This leads us to non-freedom of thoughts.


The demand we act in the way that we are so-expected will make even academy in ruin because we are hardly able to think and express freely. This is the beginning of Facism. However what is it like in current Japan? Are we able to laugh at such a situation as was gone? Sns gives us with the order to think and express in line with the mog. These days, I regard as dangerous that the users in Sns do and say in very standards influenced with unseen hands of gods- it is not Government but Standard People. Sns could be the new starting point of imperialism. We may be unnoticed to do as the slave and result in being as such. Is it the conclusion of new Japanese trend called Oshi-Katsu? If so, we must get back to the possitive attitudes.


It is not extraordinary that Japan IS colored with strong imperialism of Sns. What would Edward Said think if he saw the current Japan and World? Would he criticize the new enemy-Algorithm or the citizens? You never know it unless we really notice.

 かつて『さよなら人類』という名曲がありました。ふざけたテイストの中で、特に1990年代初期に流行していたいわゆる「イカ天」でヒットしたバンドの曲のため、独自のカラーを出していますが、そのメッセージは紛れもない「反戦」でした。 2025年の11月21日にボーカルの方がソロでこの曲...
