You forgot to count 0. The alien should write 4 as 10, not 4.

 

This work caught my attention a few months ago with the premise of having a 'realistic' economy based villainess type of story but as the story progress, it's getting more and more blatant with it classical liberal wish fulfillment bullshit

The original message of "I will save Japan lost generation by making the economy better" got turned into "how I exploited future knowledge to make profit for myself (and Japan) while screwing everyone else". The FMC basically just use her future knowledge to siphon America economic might to bail out Japan's economic burble while encouraging the worst aspect of America capitalist system. War profiteering, political corruption, racism, stealing personal freedom and privacy, every tricks in the book is fine as long as it's done outside of Japan.

Of course, the main character have to a be a super beautiful genius white girl from a rich and noble family that is only barely down on their luck right now cause of bad management by other people. It was totally easy to turn the ship around with future knowledge and a million dollar in seed capital. She was also super talent in singing and easily became an idol if her business fail.

To make the matter worse, to justify a world where the MC can be a blue blood noble in modern Japan, the author basically created an alt history where all other nations' agency is erased and the Allies just decided to give Japan everything they wanted in WW2 cause they surrendered earlier. Japan got to keep Manchuria, Japan got to keep the Zaibatsu, Japan beaten the Soviet and got stopped by the USA cause the Soviet got the A-bomb etc.

Finally, the books were pretty blatant about the anti communism message. The author have many characters in story repeating the same cliches "my country bad when it was under socialism, we are so rich now under capitalism, praise capitalism" or "communist stole my grandpa slaves, they were bad people".

The more I read the worse I feel so here is just my thought to easy my anger and grief of wasting time on such a piece of trash.

That's probably cause you or your packages use CoreJS. It's basically a one man project that's holding up the whole modern Internet infrastructure. You can look up the story online, but it was a pretty small donation request for a really relatable individual.

that's a micron of the boot the global south are feeling daily. They have not even outright taking your stuff while forcing you to pay for the gun they pointed at your face yet

/s Nothing to see here, just another friendly democracy working as intended. They're totally cool unlike those godless Chinese commies.

internet in other parts of the world is honestly developing at astounding speed. I got offered 1gbps synchronous fiber for $75/month in Vietnam in 2019.

I remember people talking about a HSR system linking the three biggest cities in Texas way back in 2010s. They couldn't even raise enough support to finish the research for the placement of the train stops. Not sure this will even get pass that.

One of the most used feature of Facebook and Instagram is their messenger. It's much easier for people to use the same account they use for social media to communicate with each other. A direct messaging feature within fediverse would augment the current ecosystem and make more people transition away from big corporations

I miss r/wholesomehentai and r/hentaisource. There were a lot of chill and helpful people there. Been waiting for a anime/hentai instance to pop up in the fediverse
