Spreading out all over the world isn't particularly special. Flies, rats and roaches did as well, for instance, so spreading all over the world is not necessarily a sign of cosmic manifest destiny.
How does "the left" silence those against "Men in Women's sports etc etc"? People keep yapping about it all the time. It's the entire Republican party platform. And COVID. Jesus F. People keep yapping about Fauci the whole time. Never shut up about him. Grilled from day one. Entire congressional hearings devoted to grilling him. My social media feeds are filled with people wishing summary execution on him. Yap yap yap. Zero consequences. It's the politically correct thing to do. Everything you whine about is the official platform of the ruling party of the US, not of some purple haired Starbucks barista in Brooklyn.

H. Christ almighty, you people sure do have an enormous victim complex.

Scared others into silence with what magical powers? Zero control of both chambers, zero control of the executive, military, cable news, Supreme Court, law enforcement etc. With what is this mighty far left minority scaring people? Protest sit-ins on campuses? That's what makes you quake?
Re:Four simple rules behind Japan's most liveable cities on Saturday August 08, 2026 @11:05AM (#49222534)
Probably the snide reference to what the BBC "refused to mention" rule #0. Afghanistan has an even lower immigrant population than Japan, and rather stringent rules around public behavior, and few would call Kabul liveable. In terms of immigrant population, Japan sits around #155 of the ~230 countries in the world. You take a gander at the 75-80 countries [1] with less immigrants percentage wise than Japan (for a combined total by the way of 2 thirds of the world's population), map it against your own "livability" or "social trust" metrics and then see if your rule #0 (that the BBC apparently studiously avoids mentioning) still holds much water.
