Japan doesnt make it into the hatred list (4.00 / 3)

by the way it brings one down to earth to realize that xenophobia is still alive and kicking.

Don't be absurd, it cannot be xenophobia to hate the culture you live in.

And Japan didn't make the list only because I don't know where to place it. It's just too different.

That holds for the ASEAN countries in general. The same for Russia too

So you hate everything you know? I hope we will never meet!

I don't obsess enough about my hatred list to figure out the fuzzy boundary where it becomes dislike to where it becomes [shrug] to where it becomes like to where it becomes admiration.

Sweden I admire, France I love. The USA and UK, I positively loathe. Russia and Japan raise ambivalent feelings. Everything else in the middle, I can't be arsed to figure out.

I don't make the rules, but I was not aware that ET was a place one could come to share their hatred of a country.

Of an ideology or regime, perhaps, but a country? This is not the appropriate venue for that.
