Same Thing But in Japan

this is the height of incivility, barbarity, poverty, and backwardness...! OH MY SCIENCE!!! SAME THING BUT IN JAPAN! this is the height of progress and civilization!!!

A two-panel Wojak meme contrasts people sleeping on thin mattresses in a crowded, messy room with a similarly arranged sleeping area in a clean Japanese interior. The joke mocks xenophobic or culturally biased reactions that condemn the first scene as backward but praise an almost identical scene in Japan as civilized progress. It is used sarcastically to point out double standards and Japan idealization.
