Why are the Japanese gangster so different than the rest of the world? While there are simple thugs in Japan the real Yakuza are manipulation master-minds.

You have to pay to be a Yakuza, and on top of that if you aren't earning large amount of sums you cannot even be a Yakuza.

It's the ultimate scam, there are also theories about the Yakuza stopping a lot of the drug trade in Japan - America is now pressuring the Japanese govt to get rid of these old-school Yakuza, as they generally tolerated them.

The yakuza take care of the streets better than the Japanese government does.

That is also the idea I got from them, the only thing which gave them a negative connotation were the sketchy things they did in business.

And of course the public acts of violence.

The Yakuza are facing a huge shortage of members and increasing crackdowns by police and are having a PR problem. The upper echelons of the Yakuza are shrewd businessmen, so now they're trying to rebrand themselves as a sort of right wing traditionalist group, like a Finnish Sons of Odin type thing. Of course, they're also still an international crime syndicate that deals in all of the nitty gritty mafia-types stuff like extortion and brothels, so make of it what you will.

As for why the US opposes the Yakuza, they're one of the pillars holding up the more traditional Japanese mindset. This a huge no-no for the globalist-minded governments in the West, especially America. Homogeneous societies are more peaceful and able to project outwards instead of dealing with domestic problems. We need to stay divided and preoccupied so the financial elites can keep rolling in cash.

Stupid weaboo they are still thugs and there';'s tons of organized criminal organization world wide.

I thought the general media thinks it is racist for western countries to tell eastern countries what to do.

>implying the general media isn't predominantly owned by the same elite that compose U.S. Federal Reserve Board

not necessarily the same people, mind you; just the same socio-economic class (that is to say the 'dividend-class'... of the U.S., as opposed to the much larger 'salary-class' and the fucking gigantic 'wage(slave)-class')

It's not.

The Yakuza is typical of East Asian gang culture which is by far different than the Western one, which is basically selling shit.

East Asian gangs stem from the fact that the rural countryside which used to form the mass of Chink/Nip/Gook populations policed theirfuckingselves. Usually only with minimal supervision from the capital, like a singular officers who looked into, say, posse gatherings and said "that shit is legal, go ahead, arrest that cunt."

When the government is fucking up (i.e. Samurai Warfare, Dynastic Changes) these self-help organizations stepped up and even out of the law to help their own, providing services such as getting your old grandma food, or the muscle which protected your neighborhood from bandits n shiet.

In China, these organizations became the bedrock of Anti-Qing/Anti-Western feelings that birthed the Triads. In Japan, they became the alternative to the emerging cold & calculating centralized Japanese government that the Tokugawa/Meiji Japan founded in which peasants are increasingly swallowed by centralization and bureaucracy.

But in essence they are the same: protection schemes.

tl;dr
>Western Gangs = Merchants
>East Asian Gangs = Unofficial Governments & Brokers.

Well, the PR campaign has been going well for them since people think they are some sort of noble gangsters

>why is japanese X better than other countries X
I think you might be a weeb.
