I’m British and I live in Japan and I talk about politics and stuff welcome to my page. 日本在住イギリス人。政治などについてつぶやく。kpopオタク(ENG・日本語🆗)🇬🇧🇯🇵📿🔆 priv: @orikkura

Is it because I changed my pfp to a pretty wasian girl? I had a Rei from IVE pfp before but that was clearly a photoshoot. This one’s a selfie so maybe people think it’s me. To be clear to all my pfp is Lily from NMIXX. I am a white man.

Why the fuck are all my tweets popping off recently.

@rjfaber91 Idk what accent you speak with but in a British accent Calcutta was pronounced with a normal a and the change to Kolkata is very noticeable

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

My rule is that it has to vaguely make sense within English phonotactics. Kolkata makes sense. Myanmar makes sense. Kiyiv makes sense and is pronounceable to English speakers. Türkiye is just not English and doesn’t make sense within English phonotactics.

[Yuan Yi Zhu @yuanyi_z]

My lukewarm take on geographical renaming is that you get to dictate what your place is called in English if you use English as an official language. So the Indians get a pass with Kolkata, but none of the Türkiye nonsense.

@ww_dasilva Ntm on the food that’s the one thing I miss the most. That and the beer.

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

Living in Japan has in many ways helped me reconcile myself with my own Englishness, and a big part of that was realising that the experience of being bored by England and wishing to flee to foreign shores is itself extremely English.

(This specific brand of hating is also very British 😭)

@julius_mueller @rosiiiiitaaaaa What do they call the United Kingdom in the Ivory Coast?

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

@daanjiji Ok but absolutely none of this is obvious to an English speaker, which is why it’s stupid to demand it be spelled like that in English.

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

@stkms0011223344 Idrk what that has to do with anything i said

@justc0smicdu5t @skywsabreadroll An album being written by someone who’s dying doesn’t make it a good album

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

@Travelin32m Because I would quite like the economy to not collapse.

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

This is what the Japanese right actually thinks about the foreigners who make the effort to integrate. These people are model immigrants of the kind any country is lucky to have. Actively and happily embracing the culture of their new home.

Japanese people are not excited by Japan the way I am. Because for them Japan is boring and normal. For me it’s a fascinating foreign language and culture.

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

It’s very funny when people on here hit me with the “you will never be Japanese” as if that’s going to upset me. Much of what I love about living in Japan is very contingent on the fact that I’m not Japanese. If I was Japanese I’d likely want to go elsewhere!!!!

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

@yonaguni_horse Why does it being on their head make any difference? It’s a worn expression of their faith and they have every right to wear it. Just as Christians in Japan will wear crosses

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

@RynVader Because learning a foreign culture and language is fun and enriching! And if I was Japanese then Japan wouldn’t be foreign

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

@SvensRekishikan I expect she was never fantastic at it in the first place, and it’s been a long time since her time in the us

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

I think it’s completely fine for a Japanese Prime Minister to not know English. But Takaichi is clearly very insecure about the fact that she doesn’t and ends up acting really weird to compensate.

これは日本の「反高市」ではなく

英語が理解できない嘘つきで詐欺師の高市婆は、英首相の「定型分の挨拶文言」に

イェーイ！みたいな気持ち悪いはしゃいだ表情でグーサインしています。客観的に見て頭がおかしい変人です。

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

@yonaguni_horse Would it be wrong for a Japanese Buddhist living in England to wear a juzu on their wrist?

[World War Vee @drop_kicker]

long term, you'll realise its because the internet inherently saps people's ability to be grounded about everything. the longer they spend on there, the longer they a. lose their actual political convictions and b. devolve into simply attacking people for not being their ideal

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

@SvensRekishikan It is. But, if you don’t use a language it’s very easy to lose it.

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

@budonick @harukaawake Arin very reasonably wants to remain anonymous, and there’s not really any way to prove his ethnicity without compromising that.

[Jerome Sneed Democrat @avrilbradley23]

Charles III would be to the left of Labour on migration policy lmao.

[桜理 @MutsuAnjin]

In better circumstances, not saddled with the failures of those who came before him, I do believe that Ishiba could have been a truly great prime minister.
