“…a dozen bystanders watching a bear gnaw on another …”

Yep. Perhaps the WWII wiped out all Japanese with backbone, but nowadays folks here are passive fuckwads.

Over the years I’ve seen groups of normal Japanese (passive aggressive smiling, subservient, neither loud nor rude) do that dozens of times.*

*To be fair, refer to the
“Genovese syndrome” in NYC.

Do they realize that, even though it is a bear, that a dozen people could kick the shit out of *one* bear (there's even plenty of sticks and rocks around so you don't have to get within paw or maw range)?
