I guess everyone is supposed to say, “Oh, wow, what a cool disciplined culture,”

Spend a little time reading up on Bushido. It wasn’t for everyone in the culture. It was something akin to “Chivalry” for the more elite and wealthy knights in midaeval europe, but different in many ways. The code of honor and of discipline is probably very foreign to you, and to me as well (so I’m not being condesending, so you know). It’s difficult for us to relate.
Also, what you say about “he whole lot is a complete mess of comic book reading wankers. Unable to reproduce. Unable to come out of a 30 year recession.” is much more a phenomenon of the unfortunate final parts of the story arc for most western cultures. Particularly the inability to maintain a sustainable birthrate.
I’ve read all I need to read about Japanese culture.
