https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido#Contemporary_Bushido I’m sure it’s gauche and will get removed like my previous comment, but I’m not kidding. That ethos is still ingrained at the highest levels of Japanese society. Explicitly fascist Japan had to adapt to American occupation post-war, so Tojo’s outward callback to samurai ethos sublimated itself into peacetime culture - hence 100-hour salaryman workweeks, children going to juku cram schools, emphasizing stoicism and modesty.

Just retort about the “go-to-prison-or-join-the-Army” ultimata of judges from post-Civil War through the present. Coincidentally the low-IQ brigades of U.S. troops (who couldn’t claim an academic exemption) were often forced into service using these means.

From Wikipedia: “The most tender of all cuts of beef, tenderloin steaks are lean and known for their delicate, butter-like texture and thick cut. These mouthwatering steaks are so tender they can be ‘cut with a butter knife.’”

both a result of that disintegration and a cause for increased suicides

This is absolutely true, good point. They have no social bonds to fall back on, at least not healthy ones, which exacerbates the ruinous effects of their worsening material conditions.
