It all started with Perry's Expedition and the ensuing Meiji Restoration, afterwards it just got even worse around a hundred years later with all the Post-WW2 US-enforced policies.
US interventionism (what a shock) has been an integral factor in Japan's degradation and the progressive loss of their unique identity.
We beat them. We literally, undeniably beat them in war*. And they adapted to the alpha culture.
This is why you don't leave wars unfinished and you be a fucking agressive jerk until the other side surrenders unconditionally.
*and they had it coming. They went full spastic.

A bad case of United States Of Israel.
Look at all those webm file sizes and that will tell you what kind of faggot is posting this shit.
Fuck off to facebook
A lot of this was inevitable anyways as Japan was backwards tech wise.
Ludicrously backwards.
Checked.
There is a strong weeaboo culture in the chans. Japan is a very dystopian place. It is fun to visit, it is fun place to enjoy, but you do NOT want to live there. The standards are too high, and destroy people.
Hence why the anime is so weird. Ever wonder why slice of life is so damn common? Because they can't live. They are too busy being wage vassals. Their culture is imploding due to the global market.
Overall the problem of Japan is they modernised too fast.
They went from an agrarian feudal society to modern industry in so short a timespan you had people running about in post WW2 Japan who had been born as the Japanese equivalent of serfs.
