http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/edwest/100079703/why-is-there-no-looting-in-japan/The landscape of parts of Japan looks like the aftermath of World War Two; no industrialised country since then has suffered such a death toll. The one tiny, tiny consolation is the extent to which it shows how humanity can rally round in times of adversity, with heroic British rescue teams joining colleagues from the US and elsewhere to fly out.
And solidarity seems especially strong in Japan itself. Perhaps even more impressive than Japan’s technological power is its social strength, with supermarkets cutting prices and vending machine owners giving out free drinks as people work together to survive. Most noticeably of all, there has been no looting, and I’m not the only one curious about this.
This is quite unusual among human cultures, and it’s unlikely it would be the case in Britain. During the 2007 floods in the West Country abandoned cars were broken into and free packs of bottled water were stolen. There was looting in Chile after the earthquake last year – so much so that troops were sent in; in New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina saw looting on a shocking scale.
Why do some cultures react to disaster by reverting to everyone for himself, but others – especially the Japanese – display altruism even in adversity?
================
As much as the left-wing liberal scum would hate to hear it, the truth is that Japan doesn't have a sizeable population of
THIRD-WORLD SAVAGES. The same can be said for New Zealand and Australia where earthquakes/floods occurred recently and people stuck together. Wherever third-world savages from evil cultures reside you will see looting and other criminal acts like rape or murder in a time of crisis. Britain is now full of muslim arab and paki vermin, Chile is full of hispanics and New Orleans be full of blacks. God forbid you be a white, asian, indian or other person from a first-world decent culture living as a minority in a predominantly third-world area if a disaster happens. Keep a shotgun ready and blow the bastards away.
