msquebanh, 5 months ago On the island of #Okinawa in #Japan, #Indigenous #HumanRights have become a rallying cry. It’s home to a #USmilitary base used by #Canada, a base that’s been a source of #conflict and #controversy for decades. Neetu Garcha recently travelled to Okinawa and spoke with locals about what they want changed. https://globalnews.ca/video/10116503/japanese-indigenous-community-decries-us-canadian-military-presence-on-okinawa-island #AsianMastodon #TootSEA #Geopolitics #ForeignAffairs #ForeignPolicy #GetOutInvaders #colonialism #EvictCanada #EvictCAF #LeaveJapanCAF #MilitarySquatters

tofugolem, 5 months ago @msquebanh Most of the American military installations in Japan are in Okinawa. Japan basically used Okinawa as a dumping ground so that they didn't have to deal with the higher rape rates that come with living near an American military base. Very little of what #America and #Japan are doing in #Okinawa is acceptable to me

wndlb, 5 months ago @tofugolem Isn't there an ethnic/indigenous aspect to how Okinawa is viewed in 'mainland' Japan?

msquebanh, 5 months ago @wndlb @tofugolem You'd have to ask a Japanese mainlander about their thoughts on that. I support the Indigenous who want the military squatters, gone.

msquebanh, 5 months ago @tofugolem Sounds like the abandoned US military bases in a few Southeast Asian countries too.
