>>3412A japanese boomer struggles to understand the negative changes occuring to japan/japanese society during it's economic crisis and wonders if maybe the internet is to blame (note: japanese boomer doesnt really understand the internet). I never finished watching lain because I understand exactly what was wrong with (japanese) society at the time while fully understanding what the internet is(was). So feel free to correct me if my following assumptions are wrong and that i should finish watching this meme show if theres even deeper themes im missing out on:
The japanese have a tendency to shroud things they dont understand with mysticism, and children being able to communicate with one another instantly was a completely forign concept to the people raised in a time period where you'd only ever talk to your family/neighbors which directly led to strong community bonds. The japanese boomers also got the 'we just lost the war, better hunker down together' bonus multiplier so their childhoods where unironically fairly comfy even when their parents were doing poorly economically. however, as a consequence older japanese people were fairly out of touch with the rest of the world and lived on the copium propaganda bubble pushed by the japanese mass media/government. Thats why they love their child soldier stories piloting robots and space ships. Its just alternate timeline ww2 slop (our boomers fetishized ww2 in the same way, just different since we 'won'). The ironic thing being, after japan was chosen by the globalist to be the world's new factory the japanese cope became reality as their economy soared, which created a feedback loop of nippon #1. So the boomer intrinsically believes to trust the propaganda, to work hard, and that this hard work is rewarded by nature of hard work leads to rewards. This of course, is a fallacy.
so youve lived your life cut off from the rest of the world. you only have family and friends to rely upon. your government tells you to be positve, work hard, and everything will be good. You do it, and it turns out well (for you). But then all of a sudden, your economy has its legs cut out from under it by the international banking class (you do not understand this at all) and everything you know no longer applies to the next generation. But you notice them spending a lot of time on this weird computer stuff. This generation has access to the internet, they can find out the truth if they want to and not just blindly consume copium/propaganda, and it makes them depressed as fuck so they start retreating from society and/or killing themselves. So you blame the internet for making them sad and try to express your feelings about the subject the only way you know how: you make a cartoon featuring a child exporing the subject because thats what most of the media in your life involved.
